The first day of change of traffic pattern at the notorious Ratchayothin Intersection created a chaos Tuesday morning that also resulted in gridlock on several adjacent roads, traffic radio station Jor Sor 100 reported.

The traffic flow at the intersection was changed to be a circle flow requiring all vehicles to make a circle from the left side instead of going straight. The change was implemented following the start of constructions of an elevated railway and an underground pass at the same time. Traffic police plan to implement the circle-pattern of traffic flow for four months.
