As many as 15 vehicles were towed away Monday as part of a crackdown on illegal parking and traffic violations, announced Metropolitan Police deputy chief Pol Maj-General Adul Narongsak.
The measure, which was implemented Monday, covers 10 Bangkok routes during rush hour – 6am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm – and replaces the previous wheel-lock practice. The measure will expand to all Bangkok roads from November 1 onwards, he said.
City officials will place clear “no parking” signs and paint prohibited areas in red and white to prevent arguments between motorists and police officers, he added.
