PLAN
The Transport Ministry’s plan to raise safety levels at railway crossings was approved, as was a proposal to create bypass roads around future Special Economic Zone (SEZ) cities, Sansern said. The plan is expected to be completed by 2017.
The cabinet has assigned the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), the Highways Department and the Rural Roads Department to carry out the crossings projects. It comes after motorists were killed in a spate of accidents at crossings in recent months.
