Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin
Re: Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin
Believe it or not, I was about to. I heard on the news as we were about to leave Market Village. However, I saw the end of the world (in the form of a gigantic rain cloud) approaching, and Mrs BB had washing out. The command of Mrs BB outranks everything else.
If the rain stops, I'll drive that way later, and post some dashcam footage (if the crossing hasn't shorted out).

Re: Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin
Well, I thought about it, and decided what better time to see it than adverse weather conditions.
My verdict................. Fake News, or it shorted out as I suggested. I think this will go down in history alongside the bomb detectors
Give me a while, and I'll upload the video (some good flood shots as well).

Re: Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin
OK, having watched the video, I guess it's early news rather than fake news. The cones and trucks with flashing lights are there for a purpose. However,
[Edit] There were certainly no signs visible that a new kind of pedestrian crossing (1st time in Thailand) was in use.
More bad reporting I hope. Another set of lights where the flashing lights are would turn Petchkasem into a virtual car park. If they are going to connect them to the existing lights, the current road works are a red herring. Whatever, I couldn't see anything today. Can you guys? Here's the dash cam footage:Apichart said the lamps would be connected to traffic lights at crossings and the lamps would be turned on when pedestrians see the signal to cross the road.

Yes, maybe it hides the evidence if you have a mishap

Maybe not enough tourists nearby to entice into the target zone.
Re: Revolutionary Road Crossing for Hua Hin
I've just read that it was premature news. It should have been commissioned overnight, but heavy rain cancelled it
So reports were not based on facts
It should now go live this evening.
[Edit] Looks as though it's going near the bottom of the Night Market, so the bit about connection to traffic lights also seems to be wrong.

Hmmmm.......... I see the news article of premature news also contained premature news.
I've just diverted past that way, and it's not working yet. Thai time

Excuses, excuses. At 100,000 Baht per light they should work in a nuclear blast area. Why does my mind always go to "someone besides the vendor made money on this...."?
First ‘smart crosswalk’ not so smart: Highway Department red-faced

The first night test of the “smart crosswalk” at Hua Hin Market was a failure as 32 solar lamps embedded at the zebra cross-walk failed to emit enough light to make the crosswalk easily visible, a senior highway official said on Thursday.
The solar lamps, which cost Bt100,000 each, were embedded in the road in the heart of Hua Hin on Tuesday night to enable them to store energy for their first operational test the following night.
However, Apichart Charnthanyakorn, director of the Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Highways Office, said the yellow solar lamps were insufficiently bright to illuminate the crosswalk on Wednesday night.
Apichart said the cause could be reflected light from large LED billboards nearby drowning out the solar lamps.
Moreover, rains throughout most of the day in Hua Hin might have prevented the lamps from storing sufficient energy, he said.
Apichart said his office would experiment for a few more nights before deciding whether utilise other safety devices.

I think I wasn't far off the truth when I joked about the rain shorting them out and them being recorded in history alongside the bomb detectors

Sometimes it is difficult to decide whether to laugh or cry at some of the antics they get up to!
100,000 Baht for an LED light?

Yes, I get fed up with re-setting it.

They're still not working. Drove by in the dark and rain about 40 minutes ago.
