This was especially true when viewed from above and might lead to accidents, they said.But the sky train authorities said on behalf of the contractors S.H.-U.N. that the markings were necessary to facilitate the placement of temporary posts used in the construction of the Tao Poon to Tha Phra line.Four posts will need to be in place for five months and traffic will need to be diverted around these.

SiamBeast Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 This is the kind of intersection that you basically take a deep breath, close your eyes, and barge through hoping that you won't hit anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 If you need diversions like this, better to cone each side of each lane to channel the traffic properly through the diversion. Lines will do nothing as Thai drivers don't understand lane markings and certainly don't take any notice of them. Cones seem to be sparingly or badly used here when they would go a long way to solving the dangerous conditions at roadworks, which generally appear with a blocked lane after a blind bend with one cone behind a truck.

tx22cb Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ha Ha Ha - waste of time painting these lines, as lane discipline is a rare trait in TH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think it's artwork. Would make a lovely framed picture in my den. I've heard of smart cars, self parking cars, but cars that change width? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
