Accident reduction or accident waiting to happen? New road confuses netizens
Channel 7 reported that Thai netizens were completely baffled by a new road in Surat Thani in the south of Thailand.
What the Highways Department have decreed is a safe response to public demand is an accident waiting to happen, they claim.
The road in question is Asia 41 near the Wiang Sa intersection. Traffic goes in two directions on the local road off the main highway.
But those who exit the main road seem destined to come up against those going in the opposite direction.
Confused by the "chicanery"?
Look at the map - that is what netizens have been doing trying to work out what the highway authority is thinking.
The road was yet to be in official use last week when the news broke causing a confused furor on social media.
The authorities said that people were going the wrong way and the new measures were a response to stop accidents after a meeting was held.
It appears that those on the local road have to give way to those exiting the main road.
Signs will be erected making it all clear.
