Warning signs are now in place – though in Thai language only.
Somkiet Yimpong, Project Engineer for the Central Festival underpass, said, “We put up the signs four or five days ago. We know that some riders are breaking the rules but it is up to the police to deal with that. However, there are CCTV cameras at the entrance at each end of the underpass.”
Pol Lt Col Ampon Chantanakul, superintendent of Vichit Police Station, said, “Two-wheel and three-wheel vehicle are not allow to go into the underpass. That’s an international standard.
“We have been working to stop people and warn them, because this might be new concept for some riders and drivers. But we will start applying the no-entry rules strictly this week.”
