Why is the U-turn ban on Theprasit Road causing so much traffic chaos?

Of course you can uturn on Theprasit. Just drive up to the end of the middle barrier and turn!

Safety reasons and I agree with it

So many idiots on the road

Doing a u turn into live traffic is not good. Maybe someone died doing this and that why it’s shut

The closure of a u-turn bay is actually a good thing. Now if they could only build more right hand turns and roads. Just about the only Thai city that has gotten things right by building new roads, connecting dead ends and building roundabouts and intersections is Mae Sot.

Almost everywhere else, I'm seeing more and more traffic lights being eliminated and intersections blocked because Thailand hasn't figured out how to operate traffic lights automatically like the rest of the world has.

I'm also seeing things like intersections being blocked and an overpass built with only two entrance ramps instead of the 4 that are needed to cover every direction. This means those heading in the other two directions need to do u-turns and turn back. Before they built these overpasses in their respective locations, a proper 4-way traffic light system was in place. They've made everything worse for motorists not intending on going straight or turning left.

You can always back home

Shouldn’t be doing U Turns on that road. That’s why there’s so many accidents on that road.

Their country, their law. You don't like, you get out of there. Otherwise live with it.

I’ve just come back from an issan trip, the driving standards over there are way worse than any other parts of thailand imo,.

It's Asia mate get used to it... I married a Thai woman and found out she used to be a man.. I can't divorce her now cause her family own a good restaurant and the foods nice.. I sadly realised 4 weeks into the marriage when I thought this didn't feel right.

You have a lot more to worry about in the next couple of months after this election than what U turn closure has inconvenienced you.

I can't wait for the tears to start.

Personally I feel the drivers here have more skill and respect for each other as whole, less road rage and yes the occasional idiot who never passed any kind of basic theory. But the worst driving is done by my fellow farangs !

Your visa is still valid at the following roundabout or intersection.

Hi Karen 👋

Your not in your own country , so just deal with it. Nothing will change because of foreigners moaning

Driving in Thailand is like ? What the fuk 🙈🙈🙈?

Put in another roundabout!! Then people can get in the circle and stop! 🤣

Guess we know who was doing U-turns and caused them to build it 😅

It might be a pain not to be able to U turn at every opportunity, but U turns in particular on that road are the cause of more accidents than practically anywhere else in the city ..

U Turns are without doubt the biggest creator of motor accidents in thailand … what they are doing will save lives … u see any U turns on the North circular?

TIT

My wife has a condo in Pattaya and it drives me nuts how the design makes no sense. I complain about the same thing when we go there. There are just things that should be so much easier that they made complicated.

Your in Thailand so you will have to live with it 🤣😅😂

Same same guy stole your punctuation 5555

Stop applying Western logic to Asia. It doesn’t work
