Mr. Chatchat gave an interview that As you can see, the mileage needle in an accident stalls at 120 km/h (km/h), which is already faster than the legal limit of 80 km/h. Speed is one thing, it’s very fast. coupled with curves and road surfaces that don’t rain much will be slippery
“I think there are many elements together. physical appearance The speed is over the limit and regarding 3 factors of rain, I think there may be a clear speed limit. The sign only tells you to slow down, but doesn’t tell you how much to slow down. May have to determine that here the speed must be reduced from the normal speed. There may be speed detection,” said Chatchat.
The Bangkok governor further said that If it is said that according to the policy, there will be a map of risk points in all dimensions. both crime or an accident It will make it possible to see where the danger points are.

This has to be done at every point around Bangkok. Use the power of technology Take the information on the map to see where there are many accidents – how little. grouped Where there are frequent accidents, it will be red. If we can know from here, we can go and improve.

I believe that there are measures that we can do,” Chatchat said.
The reporter asked Does this mean that from now on, will the work be distributed to all districts to find risk areas? Mr. Chatchat said yes, but understood that this information should be in the Health Bureau. or medical office because of the injury-death information It is kept at the medical office.
