Traveling Province to Province: State of the Roads in Cambodia
Now that travel is possible from province to province, let's check out the state of the roads. This has a big impact on travel time, as you can see here, driving from Sihanoukville to Kampot.
Please share your experiences on the good, the bad, and the ugly stretches of road that you encounter while traveling around at the moment.

Re: Traveling Province to Province: State of the Roads in Cambodia
Road 3 Kampot to PP was great not much traffic and the roads great now it been finished except for last few klm before the airport with all the roadworks.
Nice road for a bike plenty of room on the sides to travel in away from the cars and trucks

You can dodge the airport entirely by heading down HE Blvd and joining Nh3 at Tuuk Thla (I think that's where you join. Perfect road all the way if you go that way. )atst wrote:Road 3 Kampot to PP was great not much traffic and the roads great now it been finished except for last few klm before the airport with all the roadworks.

Nearly there:

The Ministry strongly hopes that the people and traders living along this road will cooperate with the Ministry as well as the competent authorities to improve the living environment, such as planting trees or grass. Improvements, etc., and please call on the people to take care of this road to be beautiful, safe to travel, can be used for a long time and save the national budget as well.
In addition, the road is decorated with plants, flowers and a lawn in the middle of the road with a green landscape that not only reduces the fatigue of the driver, but also brings refreshed and happy feelings for passengers, and it is also equipped with 14 speed cameras along the road to remind drivers to respect traffic rules and together maintain good traffic order and ensure safety.

Can't help but think this might improve the safety on this national road...OTOH it may mean more traffic too??
@Spigzy curious as to whether the above might change your view re PP to Kampot on a moto..

That said, I'd also suggest:
1. Don't ride on national roads at any time if you value your life

Re: Traveling Province to Province: State of the Roads in Cambodia
Most of the national roads are safe enough for a bike
Only 4 is kinda dodgy, but it's fine as long as you get past all the trucks
However 250cc is too slow and too low powered for Cambodia national roads nowdays; they are unsafe by being both too slow to overtake or accelerate on demand with some pep and have poor brakes for their weight

Ha, not at all - the road looks excellent; sadly, excellent for morons to drive even more ridiculously fast & not see a motorbike. I'm just fine driving Miss Daisy around town!clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun May 30, 2021 1:21 pm ^^
