Traffic Bollards on Petchkasem

Post by Big Boy »

There are bollards down the centre of the Southbound lane of Petchkasem, presumably in readiness for tomorrow's run. Many have been hit already and are standing at strange angles.

Please be careful because the workmen have placed one dead centre of the outside lane - crazy? yes, dangerous. yes but TIT. These are bolted into the tarmac, so not just a case of moving it out of the way.

Hopefully, my dashcam has captured the crazy, dangerous bollard - will post video later if it has.

One of the most stupid 'developments' I've seen. Coming from MV after nightfall, came past the double u-turn and went to move to the nearside lane which a good driver would do and LO AND BEHOLD THERE IS A BOLLARD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. A little swerve to avoid it

No warning no extra lighting, direction signs no extra lighting etc etc.

How stupid are the 'powers that be'. Run into one of these 'screwed in' who pays???!!!
