On May 29, the Traffic Police Department said that on May 28, during the campaign to inspect traffic order and safety at road and railway intersections, functional forces nationwide discovered and recorded 3 cases of intentionally crossing the level crossing when the red light was turned on.
The Traffic Police Department said that on May 28, functional forces deployed a total of 55 working groups with 140 turns of officers and soldiers participating in the task, including 31 camouflaged officers secretly ambushing at hotspots.
The total number of cases handled in the day is 44 cases, of which motorbikes accounted for the overwhelming number with 40 cases, cars with 03 cases and bicycles with 01 case.
The total amount of administrative fines collected and paid to the budget in the day reached 40.95 million VND. In addition, PC08 Hai Phong force also verified and successfully handled 01 violation case from previous days based on reports and images provided by people.
According to local maps, the situation of railway traffic safety and order compliance recorded a clear differentiation between provinces and cities. Ho Chi Minh City is the area with the highest number of violations in the country with 13 cases. Followed by Da Nang and Hanoi with 7 cases each.
Bac Ninh and Khanh Hoa provinces recorded 3 cases each, while Gia Lai, Phu Tho and Quang Ninh had 2 cases each. Localities including Ha Tinh, Ninh Binh, Quang Ngai, Quang Tri and Thanh Hoa had the lowest number of violations with only 1 case in each province. Notably, up to 11 localities, including Dak Lak, Dong Nai, Hai Phong, Nghe An and Hue city, completely did not detect any violations during the day.
According to information from Vietnam Railways Corporation to ensure order and safety and improve the effectiveness of accident prevention, the camera surveillance system at level crossings and railway crossings is currently operating continuously 24/24 hours to record traffic conditions as well as detect violations.
Over the past time, through this automatic monitoring system along with reflections from the people, functional forces have received a total of 181 violations, successfully handled 119 cases and collected a total fine of up to 617.5 million VND.
Vietnam Railways Corporation emphasized that acts such as not complying with level crossing warning signals, overtaking barriers when signals are already working, intentionally crossing the railway when trains are about to arrive, stopping and parking vehicles in a safe area or infringing on the railway traffic safety corridor will be clearly recorded by cameras.
These image data are continuously extracted to serve verification and remote fines in accordance with the law. The railway management agency affirmed that the surveillance camera system operates not for the purpose of punishing, but the core goal is to raise awareness of law compliance, prevent violations and protect human lives.
After a period of time, functional forces resolutely directly punish in combination with modern monitoring technology, the situation of violations at railway level crossings nationwide has decreased significantly.
People's awareness has been clearly raised, contributing to ensuring safety for traffic participants and the community. To maintain this result, functional agencies request traffic participants to continue to raise awareness, absolutely comply with the signal system and guidance of the regulating force, and at the same time actively act as "magic eyes" of the level crossing by recording and taking photos of violations and sending them to the VNeTraffic application to build a civilized and safe traffic environment.
