HCMC officially stops collecting fees for sidewalk and road use
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has just issued a decision to cancel Decision 32/2023/QD-UBND dated July 26, 2023 regulating the management and temporary use of part of roadways and sidewalks in the city. Currently, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction is developing a Project for management and exploitation of sidewalks and roads to apply to the entire city after merging Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau. The goal of the project is to effectively exploit the sidewalk space for activities outside of traffic, while still ensuring safety, order and urban aesthetics.
However, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction said that many practical issues arising in Ho Chi Minh City have not been regulated in Decree 165/2024/ND-CP, such as the temporary use of sidewalks for business services, buying and selling goods or placing temporary works. In addition, Decree 44/2024/ND-CP on management and exploitation of assets of road traffic infrastructure is not in accordance with the characteristics of Ho Chi Minh City after the merger.
