I have clocked a lot of miles here too. IMO the U-turn system allowing vehicles to slow down on the fast lane and then reenter the fast lane on the other side (or cross over to enter a soi) is number one on the list of things which shouldn't exist. Ideally there would only be U-turn overpasses. -

News Forum - Elderly woman injured in Nonthaburi hit-and-run, taxi flees (video)
AussieBob, Laudable ideas but no chance they will be enacted in Thailand. How many motorcyclists and their passengers here die every year and yet still the crash helmet law and the two people on a bike law are ignored by 90% of the population and not enforced at all by the police unless they want to collect a few 'straight in the pocket' fines. -

News Forum - Bangkok’s traffic gridlock gets a tech-tock fix
I doubt that is true at all. Your claims and numbers do not add up at all. We have been living here (twice) since 2014 - I first visited after retiring in 2010 and then again in 2012. You are clearly one of those 'feral Expat' twats - every single trip we have had, including the last one from KK to Yasothon and back a few months ago, has involved several stops on the main highway for small side roads. I remember getting very angry when after 4-5 times we stopped for one girl on a bike - and the lights stayed red for over a minute without anyone else ever appearing. Needless to say I said 'fornicate this' and drove ahead - and several others followed my lead. Perhaps you dont know what a highway is in Thailand? It is a road that is numbered in single or double digits and is usually 2 lanes each direction and divided down the middle. I am not talking about road 2323 through the rural villages, I am talking about the highways between the cities - as in between KK and Yasothon - or Chiang Mai and KK - or KK and Bangkok. They dont have many 'freeways' in Thailand, but they do have a lot of divided double lane highways - way more than Australia and other countries.- 1

News Forum - Icy blast from China set to leave Thailand shivering
"The north will be seeing temperatures ranging from a teeth-chattering 15 to 21 degrees Celsius," So like a summers day in the UK then
