Report from Bangkok Post dated 2 January 2012 :-
Bangkok traffic expected to worsen
==========================
Traffic problems in Bangkok and its vicinity are set to worsen this year as car sales continue to rise, the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning said on Monday
Director-general Soithip Trisuddhi said there were more than 6,840,000 motor vehicles registered in the Bangkok area as of October last year, up 6.2 per cent on the 6,444,000 in 2010.
On average, 1,225 new cars were registered in Bangkok every day last year, increasing from 991 in 2010, while the total length of the city road network remained the same at 4,149 km.
Mrs Soithip said the average traffic flow on all major roads except on the Inner Ring Road was measured at 16.3 kph in the morning rush hours or about one kph slower than in 2010. The average speed in the evening peak hours was measured at 23.5kph or about 2.1 kph slower than 2010.
The drop in the traffic flow rate was the result of a massive increase in the number of vehicles on the roads and delays caused by the construction of Bangkok’s extended skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) rail systems.
Considering all these factors, the traffic in Bangkok would unavoidably worsen this year, she said.
Mrs Soithip dismissed speculation that the epic floods last year may reduce the number of cars in the capital, saying people would still buy new cars to replace the flood-damaged ones.
The increasing number of cars has been attributed partially to the government's tax rebate for first-time car buyers.
