Layout
Royal City Avenue, or RCA Road, has three overpasses, starting from Rama IX Road at the Phang Muang Intersection. There is one overpass on the public canal when entering the area from the Phang Muang Intersection towards Rama IX Road. Upon entering the area, the road heads southeast and crosses Samsen Canal. It then intersects with Chaturathit Road at the RCA Intersection. At the RCA Intersection, cars coming from the Phang Muang Intersection cannot proceed straight. They must make a U-turn in front of Piyavate Hospital to continue onto RCA Road. From there, they pass Route 66 and pass the headquarters of BangkokInsurance and Asia Cement Public Company Limited. After passing both headquarter buildings, there is another overpass on the public canal in front of the Sichuan Restaurant and opposite the RCA branch of OfficeMate. After crossing the overpass, there is a fork in the road that ends on Phetchaburi Road. The main route ends at Soi Phetchaburi 47 (Soi Soonvijai).
