Police Move in to Clear Up Daun Penh Sidewalks

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.

Besides getting away from the traffic, one of the nice things about walking on the sidewalk in an area with high buildings is that you can usually walk in the shade.

What is needed is some organization like this,

https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrOrNr ... LjVQRSeJE-

to publicly say that games like these will be no longer be held in Cambodia as participants in this sports cannot safely move around the city without having to put their lives in danger by using the wheelchairs on the roads.

Must be thousands of tourists in wheelchairs that Cambodia is losing out on because of this problem.

I like the Russian stubborn way against stubborn drivers, polite but firm.

Several shop owners park suv and even pickup trucks head-in blocking entire 'sidewalk' and an entire 'bike' lane of the road.
When one of the concrete trucks goes down the street and a city bus or trash truck is headed the opposite way all traffic is frozen until the impatient shopper finishes comes out and moves their double parked SUV! lol
I’ve walked through a TukTuk and climbed over a Moto that deliberately positioned themselves to impede foot traffic, previously. Maybe it’s time to assume that the footpath continues over an SUV. Irritated footprints on someone’s roof might wake the idiots up.
I'd be worried that it wakes up a gun-toting bodyguard.
They’ll miss.

Aye, but there's always the danger of a ricochet. They seldom miss.
