Traffic restrictions in Phnom Penh next week
Re: Traffic restrictions in Phnom Penh next week
Work? Most people will have the whole week off because of the water festival. Phnom Penh will be very quiet during those days I think.mannanman wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 9:37 amHow do people get to work, walk?Kammekor wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 7:31 amAvoid might be an understatement.

Re: Traffic restrictions in Phnom Penh next week
Guess so, you can probably cross East-West north of Wat Phnom. Norodom probably will be dedicated for the big boys.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 10:12 amI read that as just a location point for the closure of 178. I assume 178 is being closed because of the Hyatt Regency and all the Asean dignitaries who will be staying there.Kammekor wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 10:05 amI think Sisowath is also bank of the Tonle Sap, so closed.....Doc67 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 9:44 amSo, all southbound traffic from Wat Phnom area will be forced onto either Sisowath Quay or Street 19 (that will gridlock quickly) or Monivong, (assuming 110 will be available). As street 63 is northbound only there will be no way to go south between 19 and Monivong.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 9:08 amthe Phnom Penh Capital Administration will avoid traffic for all types of vehicles from the banks of the Tonle Sap along Street 178, Norodom Blvd., Street 214, Street 51, Street 294 and Samdech Sothearos Neak Blvd.
Northbound will have Monivong, 63, and then nothing until 19 (which will be fucked) or Sisowath Quay.
Is that correct or am I missing something?
Looks like a good week to head down to Kampot.
If they close Sisowath quay, then street 19 will be the only north/south road.
Are they going to block the crossing of Norodom and 51 in an east-west direction?

Fuck it, I might as well put my happy cap on and just enjoy the chaos, Cambodian style.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Is this going to effect travel from the airport to st 144? Flying in next Friday at around 8:30 am.

Best tell my sister in law that. She’s working the whole time, and no overtime or double bubble, near Wat Phnom.Kammekor wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 10:16 amWork?

They are slave drivers.
People of the world, spice up your life.
Re: Traffic restrictions in Phnom Penh next week
Yes. You can get from the airport without using Russian Boulevard if you go via street 2004 if RB is restricted. The fun will start getting you into 144, as it runs across street 51 and Norodom, both of which will be restricted or completely blocked. Hopefully you will be able to cross over the road to get into 144.
The drivers will have figured out ways by then (hopefully).
Get yourself a car from the airport (no tuks) as you might want a bit of AC while you pick your way across what might be congested traffic in many places.
Ask us all again on Thursday when we will know the full extent of the shitshow.
