Dozens of taxis blocked the Din Daeng exit of the elevated expressway at 5:30 am Saturday.
The taxi drivers, who support the red-shirt movement, fear that troops would be deployed to crack down on the red-shirt protesters at the Din Daeng Intersection, using the expressway.
Protesters stopped burning tyres at Din Daeng intersection but tension remained high as protesters and troops continued to confront each other there.
Meanwhile, police set up a checkpoint at the Victory Monument.
