In order to reduce traffic congestion, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA) has urged the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand( MRTA) to speed up the return of roads around the construction sites for the MTTA.
Wisanu Sapsompol, the lieutenant governor of Bangkok, told the BMA on Friday that the transfer of routes around the MRTA’s Pink Line mass transit systems may be finished by March of next year in response.
At a recent BMA meeting, Mr. Wisanu discussed strategies for reducing traffic jams on routes close to the mass transit system.
The 34. 5 km-long Pink Line connects Bangkok’s Min Buri and Nonthaburi and travels along Chaeng Watthana Road and Ram Intra Drive.
According to Mr. Wisanu, Ram Intra Road’s lanes will be reopened for use the following month, while about 97 % of Chaeng Watthana road has been put back into public use. Some areas are still in need of repairs.
In order to better manage traffic, the BMA, according to him, will even mount an dynamic traffic light control system and increase road surfaces.
According to Mr. Wisanu, the BMA is even thinking about adding vehicle parking spaces at the Pink Line channels.
The BMA did collaborate with a number of parties to tackle water leaking from the Pink Line system, according to the sheriff government. He claimed that more than 700 prone areas were discovered by a recent study.
To prevent any annoyance, he advised the general public to keep an eye on the BMA and MRTA’s Facebook sites for updates regarding the development of the mass transit systems. Through the Traffy Fondue portable software, they can also file complaints about flooding and traffic.
