Deadly roads add to toll 38 Editorial Bangkok Post editorial column published : 6 Mar 2021 at 04:00 38 There is no doubt that reckless driving is a major cause of road accidents, many of them fatal. Yet, two news reports this week have highlighted how poor traffic infrastructure provided by state agencies is contributing to this long-standing problem. The first story came from Buri Ram where a set of traffic lights at a busy intersection all turned green simultaneously on Monday, after having just been fixed by municipality officers. As a result, two pickup trucks collided. It was a matter of luck that there were no fatalities. Proper installation and testing should have been a guarantee that an accident like this could not have happened so soon after engineers were at the junction.
