CLIP: Despite regulations, 4-wheeled motor vehicles still run all over Vung Tau
In Vung Tau, there are currently no roads with speed limit signs below 30 km/h (except for some special locations such as construction sites), so according to this decree, 4-wheeled vehicles with engines must temporarily stop operating.
However, from about 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on March 13, these four-wheeled vehicles still brazenly picked up and dropped off passengers on Thuy Van, Phan Van Tri, Pho Duc Chinh, Hoang Hoa Tham, Le Hong Phong, Thi Sach streets...
Among the vehicles recorded by the reporter, there were many red and white cars with the name of Lika Trading Service Company Limited on them; some cars belonged to other businesses.

The document also clearly states that the provincial People's Committee is responsible for organizing inspections and closely monitoring the schedules, times and scope of operation of four-wheeled motor vehicles in accordance with the provisions of law.
While many businesses have temporarily stopped waiting for instructions, some others still allow four-wheeled vehicles with engines to operate.
The Department also requested units that are piloting the business of transporting by 4-wheeled motor vehicles to comply with traffic organization regulations until further notice.
Not stopping there, on March 10, the Traffic Police Department of Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province invited a number of businesses operating this type of vehicle to work, thereby requiring the businesses to temporarily suspend operations.
Here, some businesses expressed their desire to exploit this type of vehicle in Vung Tau City because this is a locality with a large number of tourists. Besides, the roads are crowded with vehicles so they cannot go over 30 km/h. In addition, many drivers are currently supporting their families with this job.
Enterprises also signed a commitment to comply with regulations to ensure traffic safety and urban order in business activities; in which they committed to strictly comply with relevant legal regulations, not to put into use vehicles that do not ensure technical safety; to operate on the permitted routes...
