3 Barangs in Wifebeaters Get Motorcycle Confiscated in Phnom Penh for No Helmets & Wrong Way

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Ok, that makes sense. So it's probably wrong. Lol. I just realised that the other side of Shnk there is called Suramarit. :facepalm:
Thanks :thumb:

Just a little bit before that. Be nice if they added a road marking or something.

There is a very clearly displayed no left turn sign on Sihanouk at that point. if you are on sihanouk coming west from diamond island you have to go up to the independence monument, round the roundabout and back. Often in phnom penh these signs are hidden behind trees, but this one slaps you in the face
Can you mark that no left turn sign for me? I can't see it.

The back streets run faster and there are no coppers, usually! :beer3:
