Pattaya city officials considering removing half of
the Beach Road promenaded for an additional traffic lane ought to have a
look at the entrance to Soi 13/3.
On March 6, more than 100 motorbikes, cars, food
vendors and other squatters were taking up part of the roadway. Even on
the Pattayaland side street, traffic was backed up with no city
regulatory officers in sight.
Instead of ripping out trees and walkways for
traffic, much of the congestion could be relieved simply by banning
illegal parking and enforcing city laws on street selling.
