Western road crews would put up barriers on both sides of the road to prevent or at least give a visual clue where the road ends. Cambodia road crews see that as an option, not a requirement.
Please drive safely!

Well, if Cambodia was a developed western country they probably would wouldn't they? But it's not is it? Either developed or Western. And as an underdeveloped country it may not even be an option as you call it.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 8:39 pm Western road crews would put up barriers on both sides of the road to prevent or at least give a visual clue where the road ends.

You like to put Cambodia down don't you? Do you share these thoughts with your missus? I'm sure she'd appreciate your smugness..

I'm gathering that the family of five weren't very good conversationalists

Cambodia News (Battambang Province): At 3:40 am on February 3, 2022, in Kamakor village, Sangkat Svay Por, Battambang city, a pickup truck carrying fish crashed into the Sangke river killing its 34-year-old driver, Vang Sarith, a fish-seller from Watkor village, Sangkat Watkor, Battambang city.
The driver is suspected to have fallen asleep while driving, causing him to lose control of the truck, which left the main road, driving across the park and into the river. RIP.

Drunk man drives a Highlander into a swamp
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): At 1 am on February 27, 2023, in Sangkat Choam Chao II, Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh, local residents were surprised to see a man driving a Highlander car which swerved off the dirt road and plunged into a canal full of water.
The white Highlander car with no license plate, driven by a drunk man, was seen traveling along a dirt road from east to west at a medium speed, when the vehicle abruptly steered to the right into the roadside swamp. The car was submerged in the water, but the driver managed to open the door and make his way to dry land, where he called his family to come to the scene to pick him up.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the accident, and since the local authorities were not present at the scene, the owner of the car contacted the crane to come and lift the car out of the canal to take it away for repairs.
