‘I would like to express my condolences to the passing of Dr. Waralak Supawatchariyakul. who was killed by a big bike while walking across the crosswalk In front of Taiphum Rajanagarindra Institute, Phayathai Road on January 21st
The loss reflects a critical issue of walking safety. especially crossing the road At the crosswalk is not important Many times we see people crossing the road on a zebra crossing. Thanks to the car that stopped, even though it was the right of a pedestrian crossing at a crosswalk.
Saw a clip of the incident. It was clear that the doctor had crossed a crosswalk. The van in the middle lane has already slowed down. The big bike that comes in the far right lane Come with speed, no slowdown, pass the van and hit the doctor.
The most important issue is traffic discipline.
According to the Traffic Act B.E. 2522, the right to cross the road at a crosswalk clearly, for example:
Section 70 When seeing a crosswalk Always slow down first. (Big bike doesn’t slow down)
for crosswalk signs Installed above the crosswalk means that there is a road ahead for people to cross the road. If someone is walking across the road, stop the vehicle to allow pedestrians to cross the road safely. (Big bike doesn’t stop the car for pedestrians to cross)
Discipline is required. traffic seriously Severe punishment, arrest, fine, remember, confiscate driver’s license At present, we will see general slack in traffic discipline. We saw motorcycles driving backwards, driving on the sidewalk, cars parked in stacks, when someone gave a warning. Still being scolded again
In addition, the physical characteristics of the crossing need to be accelerated to improve.
– Paint the cross bar clearly. not mottled have more width like in japan so that people who drive cars can see them from a distance
– Adequate lighting is installed and a warning light flashes
– There is a crosswalk warning sign installed in advance.
– CCTV cameras are installed to punish offenders who do not stop the crossing
– At the point where there are many people crossing Install red and green lights to cross safely
This is an important matter that needs to be expedited. don’t let the crosswalk It’s just something that allows us to be legally injured or killed.’
