HE Bans Traffic on Angkor Wat Road
HE Bans Traffic on Angkor Wat Road
BY PHAN SOUMY | MAY 4, 2016
Cars, vans, and other vehicular traffic will be barred from traveling along the stretch of road directly facing Angkor Wat, the country’s most iconic tourist attraction, Prime Minister HE announced on Facebook yesterday.
“From now on, only pedestrians and cyclists will be allowed to enter the road in front of Angkor Wat temple. No any other vehicles will be allowed to pass through the street, but firetrucks and ambulances will be allowed to enter during an emergency,” Mr. HE wrote.
Apsara Authority, which manages the Angkor site, began enforcing the ban at the beginning of the month, according to spokeswoman Chau Sun Kerya.
“The ban…was put in place about five or six years ago, but it wasn’t being enforced,” Ms. Kerya said. “The purpose of the ban is to organize the area in front of Angkor Wat, deal with traffic jams, make sure that the safety of visitors is being taken care of and prevent the destruction of the temple, as many vehicles pass by and park in that area everyday.”
The spokeswoman said the move had been warmly received by tourists, tour guides and tuk-tuk drivers.

the only country in the world where rules are announced directly on social media, what happened if someone hacked his account?

Re: HE Bans Traffic on Angkor Wat Road
What about taking some of the millions and millions of dollars that tourists spend on tickets to see this place and using it to upgrade the infrastructure? Where is the money going? Why is there crappy restaurants/disgusting loos right by a world attraction? Why does everything aimed at tourists look second rate and cheap? Someone is making a lot of money and its not being put back into this world class attraction.
Re: HE Bans Traffic on Angkor Wat Road
They did.
They're blocking the section in front (though HS's 200 vehicle entourage sped straight through on Khmer new year), and they've build a large car park at the top of the loop road in the western side.
