robsamui Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Suddenly on Koh Samui, all these little white 'teeth' have started to appear and nobody has a clue what they mean. Do they exist in other parts of Thailand? There seem to be 3 sorts. Anybody asctually KNOW what they're trying to convey? (And don't say 'rumble strips' because have these, and they are not the same as the 'teeth'!) Thanks in advance!

MYKTHEMIN Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 These are used in the UK at some speed camera sites, beware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonw8uk Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Seen them around chiang mai. I assumed they were to make/warn you to slow down. They seem to be before a crossing or other obstacle and get closer together as you get nearer (supposedly increasing your sense of speed) Your pic shows a crossing ahead, and the other lane doesnt have them Edited December 4, 2016 by jonw8uk Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Indicate a zebra crossing ahead. Just been installed in Lamphun province all the way up the 106 between Li and Lamphun. Good idea, have similar in the UK (zigzag lines instead), which means a zebra crossing is obvious, whilst here often you don't know they're ahead until you're on them. Next up, teach people what a zebra crossing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera takes two photos in quick succession, counting the number of teeth between the two shots will give the speed of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsamui Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thanks for this. A closer look reveals these 'teeth' are indeed next to schools. But it seems they have yet to paint the zebra crossings to go with them! 4 hours ago, jonw8uk said: Seen them around chiang mai. I assumed they were to make/warn you to slow down.
