Right from yesterday, when students returned to school, they saw that the traffic density was much higher than before. Now, to avoid congestion, the only way is to get up and go out earlier," Mr. Hoang Van Nghia (Lao Cai) shared.
Many people also shared that these days, roads passing through school areas often experience localized congestion, especially in the early morning. This situation is common in primary and secondary schools, when many parents use personal vehicles to take their children to school.
