On April 4, 2026, traffic police forces nationwide simultaneously strengthened inspections and strictly handled violations at intersections between roads and railways.
The results show that the compliance awareness of a part of traffic participants is still very worrying, posing a potential risk of particularly serious accidents.
Accordingly, on April 4, 77 working groups with 228 officers and soldiers were deployed, including 36 officers secretly filming to serve remote fines.
Through this, traffic police discovered and handled 110 violations including 13 cars, 89 motorbikes, 8 bicycles. Total fine amount: 98.85 million VND.
Some localities with high violations: Hanoi 23 cases, Ho Chi Minh City 13 cases, Da Nang, Bac Ninh: 10 cases
Common violations are crossing the level crossing when the red light has been turned on, the barrier has not been lowered: 13 cases. Exceeding when the barrier is lowered: 04 cases. Stopping vehicles within railway safety: 73 cases
These are all extremely dangerous behaviors, which can lead to catastrophic accidents in just a moment.
Traffic police recommend that each subjective, "quick one second" act may cost life. Traffic police will handle it strictly - without exception, and publicly announce violations to increase deterrence. For your own safety and the community's safety, strictly comply with regulations when crossing the railway.
Regarding the handling of railway traffic violations, previously, according to Colonel Nguyen Quang Nhat, Head of the Department of Guidance, Propaganda, Investigation, and Resolution of Traffic Accidents - Traffic Police Department (Ministry of Public Security), the abolition of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP does not mean stopping handling traffic violations, but is implementing separation and adjustment according to each specialized field.
Recently, the Government issued Decree No. 81/2026/ND-CP (Decree 81) regulating penalties for administrative violations in the field of railway traffic, effective from May 15.
Notably, this Decree abolishes the entire Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, the previous document regulating administrative violations in both road and railway traffic.
Immediately after receiving information about the abolition of the entire Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, many people mistakenly thought that some traffic violations would stop being penalized.
However, to help people better understand the new regulations, Colonel Nguyen Quang Nhat affirmed that the abolition of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP does not mean stopping handling traffic violations, but is implementing separation and adjustment according to each specialized field.
Previously, the Government issued Decree 168/2024/ND-CP stipulating penalties for administrative violations of road traffic order and safety, and at the same time applying the mechanism of deducting points and restoring driver's license points, effective from January 1, 2025. This Decree has amended, supplemented and abolished some contents of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP to be consistent with the new regulation system.
On December 22, 2025, the Government issued Decree 336/2025/ND-CP regulating penalties for administrative violations in road activities. This Decree continues to adjust regulations related to penalties in the field of road traffic, and at the same time abolishes some penalties in the field of railways. After many revisions, supplements and separations according to each management field, Decree 100/2019/ND-CP has been officially abolished entirely.
People should note that railway traffic violations under Decree No. 81/2026/ND-CP from May 15 will have higher penalties than the current Decree 100.
