The agencies are also urged to optimize traffic flow and intensify roadside screening to help motorists stay alert.Director-General Chatchai asked the returning holiday makers to be extra careful, strictly follow road regulations, and offer their cooperation to the officials on the road, for the sake of their own safety.-- NNT 2016-04-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Optimize traffic flow by installing cones. Why not give the traffic light remotes to BIB on 24/7 basis to maximize the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Another department getting into the story. Recipe for total confusion and destroying any real efforts (if any) by the department which should be in charge of traffic and drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we have around our way and they are as useful as a chocolate teapot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
