Court cancels one-way traffic in Nimmanhaeminda area

[misskit]

The Chiang Mai Administrative Court has issued an injunction to put on hold the traffic police’s plan to introduce one-way traffic in odd-numbered sois in the Nimmanhaeminda area.

The court’s injunction which has become effective means that all the sois in the area will revert to two-way traffic which will help ease the hardship of the people in the area who are mostly entrepreneurs.

The Nimmanhaeminda road and its sois are bustled with many shops and eateries whose operators complained that the one-way traffic introduced by traffic police in the odd-numbered sois has affected their businesses because it is inconvenient for their customers to stop.

Pol Maj-Gen Montri Sumboonnanont, Chiang Mai police commander, said his office was in the process of collecting information to explain to the court the pros and cons of one-way traffic.

I would have thought that alternate sois being one-way would ease congestion and thus make things easier for the "entrepeneur's" customers.

No doubt yet another short-sighted knee jerk by unthinking morons.

Alternate sois one-way......I'm assuming it's odds that way, evens the other way.

For Thais does it really matter what direction the signs say to go?
