According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, at the roads and intersections in Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City, traffic participants proactively stopped at red lights, basically moved in the correct lane, and wore helmets...

Previously, when there were about 5-6 seconds left on the red light, many motorcyclists would start moving their vehicles across the line, but now, people only start moving when the light turns from red to green.

According to Mr. Huynh Tan (O Mon District, Can Tho City), with the new regulation, drivers who drive in the wrong direction, on the sidewalk, or run red lights will be fined from 4 to 6 million VND, a fine that will hurt him and many other people if they violate the law.

Mr. Huynh Tan shared that his current income is about 10 million VND/month. If he is fined, he will lose half a month's salary. "Knowing that the new fine is very heavy, I am also worried. But thinking again, obeying traffic laws is to protect myself and others. If everyone is aware, traffic culture will become better and better," said Mr. Huynh Tan.

Having witnessed an accident caused by running a red light, Ms. Le Trinh (28 years old, Binh Thuy district, Can Tho city) said that the new fine is very necessary to deter and replace those who lack awareness in traffic. From there, traffic culture will be put into order. "In the past, the fines for alcohol concentration were quite high, I saw that the cases of drinking alcohol and driving have decreased a lot. I hope that this new Decree will change the awareness of many people", Ms. Le Trinh shared more.
