Recorded on Tung Thien Vuong Street (Phu Dinh Ward), Vo Van Kiet Street (through Cho Lon Ward), traffic volume increased dramatically during rush hour.
At around 7am, Tung Thien Vuong Street was packed with motorbikes and cars, many of which were parents taking their children to school.
Many intersections are affected by traffic conflicts when vehicles from alleys flow onto the main road, making it more difficult for people to move.
Mr. Thanh Son (Binh Dong ward) shared: "These days, I have to leave 10-15 minutes earlier to go to work. Traffic congestion and congestion have occurred on more roads these days, especially in areas with many schools".
On Vo Van Kiet route, congestion also occurs in some sections of the road, just below Cha Va bridge (Cho Lon ward).
According to the Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police, entering the new school year, traffic volume has increased dramatically, especially during rush hour in the morning and afternoon, leading to students violating traffic safety order (TTATGT), posing many potential risks of accidents.
The Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police has directed the Teams/Stations to simultaneously deploy solutions to enhance traffic safety for students.
Units are required to review complex points on traffic safety and order, arrange traffic control forces in areas around schools, and prevent encroachment on the roadside and illegal parking.
Traffic police force coordinates with schools to organize propaganda on traffic safety laws suitable for each age group; encourage teachers and parents to sign a commitment not to hand over vehicles to underage students or students without a driver's license; warn of the risk of accidents in bad weather conditions...
