Officials examine traffic jam problem

PHUKET TOWN: Residents along Chao Fa West and Chao Fa East Rds have asked local authorities to solve traffic jam problems. Busy “talat nut” markets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are being blamed for delays that affect local and through traffic. Wises Sabaijit, Palad of Wichit Tambon Administration Organization (OrBorTor) met residents at the weekend and said later that the problems were caused by the lack of designated parking, forcing drivers visiting the markets to leave their vehicles along the roadside. The OrBorTor was planning talks with the market owners to come up with possible solutions.
