The 14th National Party Congress takes place from January 19 to January 25 at the National Convention Center (No. 2 Thang Long Avenue, Tu Liem Ward, Hanoi).
On this occasion, the Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police issued a traffic organization plan, which temporarily prohibits roads on some central streets and diverts vehicles to ensure security, order and traffic safety to serve the Congress.
According to the plan, traffic restriction measures are implemented according to specific daily time frames, including: from 6am to 8:30am; from 10:30am to 12:00pm; from 1pm to 2pm and from 4pm to 7:00pm.
During this time, some roads are prohibited or restricted from traffic for trucks (including specialized trucks) and passenger cars with 16 seats or more.
Note that motorbikes, electric bicycles... circulate normally during these time frames.
Some truck and passenger car drivers from 16 seats have to take roundabouts to avoid temporarily prohibited roads. Therefore, the density of vehicles participating in traffic on some roads far from the center is higher, leading to localized congestion.
To overcome this, people and tourists traveling by motorbike should check traffic density in real time through directional applications, choose to travel earlier or later than the time frames of temporary traffic prohibition to minimize congestion and affect the journey.
Note that when meeting priority convoys performing tasks serving the 14th Party Congress, traffic participants need to quickly slow down and move to the nearest level crossings to give way to priority convoys.
