Thailand initiated a 120 km/hr speed limit on April 1st, beginning on the Bang Pa-in Highway, with a second phase set for August to expand across 260 km of central, north, northeast, and south routes.
Initial observations showed drivers not consistently reaching the new speed, shared lane usage by slower vehicles, and the implementation of safety features like rumble strips and closed U-turns at interchanges.
