Also according to the representative of the Thanh Hoa Department of Construction, during the review process, inappropriate traffic signs will be adjusted, and locations that lack signs will be supplemented.

"Through a preliminary review, on some inner-city roads of the city, towns and district centers, there was a situation where traffic signs were obstructed from view due to trees or some obstacles. Faced with this situation, the Department has directed the authorities to clear and repair the missing signs, creating favorable conditions for traffic participants," informed a representative of the Thanh Hoa Department of Construction.
Currently, the Thanh Hoa Department of Construction has also issued a document requesting the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities in the area to proactively review and overcome shortcomings in traffic signs. After that, the units will synthesize the results and report to the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province to have a thorough handling plan.
