On Friday night, Samut Prakan residents encountered serious traffic congestion on Bang Na-Trat Road, which caused tens of kilometres of stationary cars for several hours after it was continuously raining.
At 5o’clock in the morning, apparently at 5o’clock, near kilometer indicator 19 of the road, which was formerly known as Theparat Road, in the Bang Phli area, the congestion occurred.
A drone-equipped monitoring team discovered tens of kilometers of vehicles on both city-inbound and outgoing sides, including on various minor roads connected to the expressway. Some vehicle riders were seen taking the wrong path instead of getting off.
The jam, according to Bang Phli station’s visitors key Pol Maj Gen Yutthachai Sudsaneh, was brought on by heavy rainfall that continued throughout the day, which caused the region to become flood-prone. The major affected area was between the Megabangna Shopping Center and Ratwinit Bangkaeo School, where many cars apparently broke down, he added.
According to Pol Col Adirek Thongkaemkaew, commander of the Bang Kaew place, customers officers had to guard in vehicles to transport students to the corner entry.
He also demanded that more sends be installed by the Department of Highways to speed up the drainage of rainwater.
