Bangkok: Starting today, motorcycles are prohibited from using 11 main lanes on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. The measure aims to enhance the safety of drivers and road users by restricting motorcycle access to these lanes.
According to Thai News Agency, the prohibition will be effective from June 23, 2025, and involves the installation of signs at 11 key locations. These locations are identified as high-risk areas for improper use by motorcycles on both the inbound and outbound sides of the road. On the inbound side, prohibitions are set at the Monument area, Don Mueang Airport exit at Gate 5, Warehouse intersection, in front of Kasetsart University, in front of Vibhavadi Police Station, and in front of Horwang School. On the outbound side, restrictions apply at points including the skywalk in front of the 1st Infantry Regiment, the Royal Thai Army diversion point, the Thai Rath newspaper diversion point, opposite Vibhavadi Police Station, and in front of the Miracle Grand Hotel.
From June 23, 2025, police officers will strictly enforce these new regulations by setting up checkpoints to ensure compliance and take legal action against violators. This initiative is part of a broader 'Road Safety' measure designed to create orderliness, reduce accidents, and improve safety for all road users. There will be ongoing public relations efforts through a Facebook page and various media channels to inform the public. Motorcyclists are urged to cooperate by wearing helmets, using parallel lanes, and adhering to traffic laws to ensure safety and order on the roads.
