On July 15, news from Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee said that Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Hong Hai signed a document to the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Construction on handling and overcoming the consequences of the particularly serious accident on the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway that killed 3 people.

To limit accidents on the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway, Lam Dong province proposed that the Ministry of Public Security direct the Traffic Police Department to further strengthen the inspection of vehicle speed on the expressway, especially at night for sleeper buses. The unit must also strengthen the handling of cases of illegal stopping and parking on the expressway.

The province also suggested that the Ministry of Public Security pay attention to investing in camera systems along the entire route to monitor vehicles and propose timely measures to handle incidents.

For the Ministry of Construction, Lam Dong province proposed to pay attention to investing in continuous emergency lanes on the entire 100km Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway.

The Ministry of Construction directs the Department of Roads to inspect and review the traffic safety system and the shortcomings, limitations and inadequacies on the above expressway, and must have timely solutions.
