Gaybutton Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 The following appears in PATTAYA ONE: (see http://www.pattayaone.net/news_18_07_51_2.html for photos) _____ New Parking Regulations on Walking Street Angers Business Owners and Confuses Tourists There is controversy on Walking Street at this time and it does not relate to the unfinished Walking Street sign at the Northern Entrance. Recently new road signs were installed along the street following changes to parking regulations along the entire 750 meter stretch of the street. Between the hours of 9am and 7pm parking is not permitted on one side of the street depending if it is an odd or even day. If it is an even day parking is not permitted on the left side of the street as you look down the street from the entrance and on odd days parking is not permitted on the right side. From what we saw, many seem to be disregarding these new parking regulations. We are highlighting this change for the benefit of the foreign residents who may park their vehicles on the street during the day as the signs are in Thai language only. We understand that a petition has been signed by every business owner along the street, who are not happy with these new regulations and want parking on both sides every day. We would also like to confirm that the street is closed to all traffic between the hours of 7pm and 3am. Quote
