The Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) is trying to update an old plan to try to cut Bangkok traffic jams by charging drivers to get into the city. Charoen Krung Road had the worst traffic during evening rush hour, followed by Ratchawithi, inner Sukhumvit, Pracha Chuen and inner Rama IV. OTP monitored private cars on six main roads in Bangkok by recording the car plate numbers. The team is considering whether to charge drivers who use their private cars in the designated areas or to increase parking fees, the source added. The study showed Krung Thon Buri Road was the most congested road during morning rush hour, followed by Rama IV, Charoen Krung, Ratchawithi and Sukhumvit roads.
