What are some of the things being done to improve the traffic problem in Bangkok?

Well, the recession is helping reduce the number of cars on the road. People don't have jobs so no need to travel to work. Others have no money to purchase a car or pay for the fuel. The government is in the beginning stages of starting new sky train routes, subway routes, trains and bus routes. However this is going to take years to see any results. Now if someone has an accident the vehicles must stay where they are until the police and insurance agents arrive. A single accident can back up traffic for hours in this city.
