The Bangkok−Ban Chang Motorway (Thai: ทางหลวงพิเศษกรุงเทพมหานคร−บ้านฉาง, RTGS: Thangluang Phiset Krung Thep Maha Nakhon−Ban Chang), designated Motorway Route 7, is a motorway in Thailand, connecting Bangkok to Chonburi, Pattaya, and Map Ta Phut. The country's first intercity motorway, it is part of the Asian Highway Network as AH Route 19 and AH Route 123. The entire length from Bangkok to Pattaya is 125.865 kilometres (78.209 mi) and the posted speed limit is 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph), enforced primarily by speed cameras. An extension between Pong and Map Ta Phut opened in May 2020.[1] It is part of the transport network development project in the eastern seaboard.
