At around 3:00 p.m. on August 30, traffic volume increased on inner-city routes and gateway routes to Hanoi as people moved out of Hanoi to other localities at the beginning of the holiday, leading to prolonged congestion and slow and difficult traffic movement (Phap Van, Thang Long Bridge, Phu Dong Bridge, Co Linh). In particular, traffic volume increased very high in the southern gateway area (Phap Van, Giai Phong).
At the southern gateway, traffic congestion occurred mainly at the Giai Phong - Kim Dong and Giai Phong - Phap Van intersections due to traffic conflicts between roads with high traffic volume and some points under construction and repair of traffic infrastructure.

By 10 p.m., the traffic volume had decreased and traffic returned to normal.
