The new pedestrian crossing on second road has no traffic lights. However, there are lights at neglected crossings under 100m up the road and 100m down. One of those goes half way across the road and the other has been overpainted with warnings for the new crossing.

Motorists take no notice of the new crossing.

What they need is lights and cameras at every crossing. Fine the owner of every car which doesn't stop.

Incidentally, there is some enforcement of rules on the roads. I saw them taking away a truck load of motorcycles that were parked on a bus stop on beach road. The bus stops that haven't had a bus service in the entire time I've been visiting Pattaya.

Perhaps enforcing something pointless is easier than ensuring the roads are safe?
The paint on these bus stops is in surprisingly good condition, considering their age and comparing with pedestrian crossings.
