Tag Archives: Crosswalk

In the present, there exists various innovations and technology that could slow down vehicles on the street. Nevertheless, I give an emphasis on accident “prevention” before it occurs, to which I would like to refer as “Active Safety.” For this reason, minimum standard requirements have been established as follows: 1. There must always be a speed bump in front of a crosswalk. The speed bump must be able to make the driver experience “bumping” to warn them beforehand.

Everyone must have equal entitlement to public space. Such a mundane and uninteresting, “It’s not my problem”–you may think. Public space in Thailand should enable everyone to commute easily. This is just not the case, basic infrastructures like walkways, overpasses, public transport, and buildings simply “didn’t consider build for everyone”–this is sad but true.

“Crosswalk/Pedestrian crossing” is a crucial building block to street safety, and has been a critical issue in Thailand for a long time. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Thailand’s prime minister, issued an edict fixing the crosswalk throughout the country. However, it is important to note that effective reconstruction ensures street safety “for all” citizens.
