    The closer to noon, the more the traffic increases. Sharing with PV, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Trung (from Nghe An) said that this morning he started going up Ring Road 3 at Khuat Duy Tien section from 7 am to take his family to Nuoc Ngam bus station. However, it took more than 1 hour to reach the way down to Linh Dam Lake due to the large number of vehicles.

    On social networking sites about traffic, drivers also "advise" each other to avoid going up Ring Road 3 at this time, so they should find a more suitable route to avoid affecting their journey.

    In the opposite direction, vehicles move conveniently. Representatives of Highway Traffic Police Team No. 3 (Traffic Police Department) said that traffic volume may continue to increase because the New Year holiday is still 3 days longer.
