Bangkok: The New Year festival marks a period of celebration and travel, with many people journeying back to their hometowns or embarking on trips. However, this festive time coincides with what is known as the "7 Dangerous Days," a period notorious for a spike in road accidents leading to injuries and fatalities.
According to Thai News Agency, authorities have introduced strict measures to mitigate the risks during this critical time. These controls aim to reduce the number of road accidents and enhance public safety. The measures include increased road checkpoints, rigorous enforcement of traffic laws, and heightened public awareness campaigns.
The "7 Dangerous Days" has historically seen the highest number of road incidents each year. By implementing these precautionary steps, authorities hope to lower the accident rates and ensure a safer environment for all travelers during the New Year festivities.
