CORONER’S CONCERNS

During the inquest I heard evidence to suggest that Pe view
of the oncoming traffic to her left was obstructed by a road sign and trees,

itself on a bend, before commenced her right turn from the entrance of
Soi Khuan Yang Charoen. | also heard that the lay out of the road had no
central reservation deep enough to full accommodate a vehicle

The MATTER OF CONCERN is as follows. —

e To review the safety of the road conditions and road lay out at the
location and to consider the appropriateness taking steps to make
the location safer for traffic.

ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I
believe that the Phuket Highway District for the Muang Districts has the
power to take such action.
