Along with limiting vehicles, the median strip will be added and installed on the section from house number 88 to house number 132 Kham Thien street, in order to separate the flow of vehicles, limit traffic conflicts and reduce the risk of accidents.
During the pilot period, functional agencies will closely monitor the traffic situation on the route to assess the effectiveness of the plan, promptly adjust if inadequacies arise, and ensure people's travel.
