‘Shouldn’t have taken this road’ must be one of the most common thoughts that pops up in people’s mind when they get stuck in traffic. Wouldn’t it be nice to know in advance which routes to avoid? With that concept in mind the city of Bangkok is proud to present the Intelligent Traffic Sign (as seen on TV). As it is different form Space Syntax diagram, red colour doesn’t refer to high connectivity but, instead, high density of vehicles. It’s a wonderful attempt to lessen the traffic problem. The graphic design makes it a bit difficult to relate the road’s names to the lines but it’s forgivable given the fact that the jam is so bad that drivers have more than enough time to figure it out.
