Jomtien 2nd Road

Signs setting the demarcation of the new road, Jomtien Second Road are now being erected. The exact translation from Thai the English is "Jomtien Road Sai 2" but is called Jomtien Second Road in English. The existing road was widened from two lanes to six lanes, although street side parking often blocks one lane in each direction. The wide road connecting Jomtien Beach to Central Pattaya runs north to south and is fast becoming one of the most heavily trafficked rods in Pattaya. This has helped alleviate some of the traffic on Sukhumvit Highway now that a shorter, faster route has been built. The continuation of the road required more than 500 property owners to sell parts of their land to the city. In one case a condominium's two towers were split by the new road.
