One way systems in Phetburi and Sukhumvit rds

[andyww]

I will be driving in central BKK in a couple of weeks.

Does anyone know what the situation is regards one-way in these 2 roads? I know they operate a "tidal flow" lane system but are there any times of day when the whole road is one way for private cars?

No. They are both 2 way 24 hours a day.

.... but you may need to travel up to a km in the wrong direction to get to a U-turn, as many entry points do not permit both a left and right turn. Allow plenty of time and lots of patience! Petchaburi (in particular) in rush hour - anytime during the day apart from 11:00 to 15:30 - is often a parking lot

Due to the lane allocations Suk is (mostly) Westbound and Pet (mostly) Eastbound. The tidal flow system is long defunct

There are also traps for the unwary travelling in the 'wrong' direction (such as being forced onto the expressway or off down a side road as straight is "buses only") but if you stick to the directions above you should be fine.

My advice, park the car and get the BTS / MRT.
