According to the assessment of the Hanoi Traffic Police Department, during the 4 days of New Year's Day holiday 2026, the traffic order and safety situation throughout the City was basically ensured.
Along with traffic regulation and diversion, the traffic police force continues to maintain inspection and strictly handle violations of traffic order and safety, focusing on passenger transport, acts that are direct causes of traffic accidents such as using alcohol and beer while driving, carrying more people than prescribed, stopping and parking, picking up and dropping off passengers in the wrong places.
