In an effort to alleviate traffic congestion and prevent accidents, the use of large vehicles with ten or more wheels has been prohibited on six roads during the Songkran holidays.
The national police chief, Damrongsak Kittiprapas, announced his role as head of the traffic police after it was published in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday, reported The Nation.
The restricted routes are anticipated to experience high traffic volumes due to the influx of people travelling to and from their hometowns for the traditional Thai New Year holiday period, which spans from April 13 to 17.
From April 12 to 14 and April 16 to 18, 10-wheelers and larger vehicles will not be permitted on the designated six routes, both inbound and outbound.
