New speed limits get green light
The Cabinet on Tuesday approved in principle new speed limits for Thai roads, citing the need to upgrade traffic conditions to international standards.
In Bangkok, Pattaya City, or community areas the new limits are:
– 60 kilometres per hour for trucks weighing up to 2.2 tonnes, buses with more than 15 passengers, school buses and motorcycles.
– 45kph for vehicles in tow and small four- or three-wheel vehicles.
