On the morning of March 25, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation conducted a thematic supervision of the implementation of policies and laws on ensuring traffic order and safety in the period from 2009 to 2023 at a number of transport enterprises, and at the same time listened to the opinions of enterprises contributing to the draft Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety.
Comrade Tran Nhat Minh - full-time delegate of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation chaired. Also attending were representatives of the committees and the Office of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation and the Provincial People's Council; leaders of the Department of Transport.
The delegation directly supervised at the transport enterprises Vilaconic Joint Stock Company and Van Minh Company Limited; listened to the units report on the results of transport activities associated with the work of ensuring traffic order and safety.

Basically, businesses have paid attention to implementing the law on ensuring traffic safety and order, have a safety monitoring department, regularly check the positioning to promptly warn and remind drivers; coordinate with the Transport Association to periodically train in traffic safety, have a department to check safety before putting the vehicle into operation. From there, reduce drivers violating road traffic and reduce accidents.

Transport businesses also made recommendations to the Supervisory Team about some existing shortcomings that could affect traffic safety and order, such as: The road system in Nghe An, especially some national highways with narrow roads, some sections have degraded, such as National Highway 7 to Nam Can border gate.
National Highway 1A and N5 have too many residential roads crossing them, making it difficult and dangerous to operate vehicles on the road; Vinh City bypass has many sections without a hard median; National Highway 46 down to Cua Lo Port and Nghi Thiet Port is located in residential areas, has many intersections, and limited visibility.

Regulations on the permitted load capacity of foreign-licensed freight vehicles (Lao vehicles) are still inadequate; the handling of Lao-licensed vehicles violating load capacity regulations by authorities is not drastic, leading to unhealthy competition between freight transport businesses using vehicles with Vietnamese license plates and freight transport businesses using vehicles with Lao license plates.

Although there is a common protocol, the application of the Road Traffic Law among ASEAN countries, especially for tractor-trailers, still has many administrative differences, causing congestion of goods at some border gates.
Regarding passenger transport, there are still many passenger transport vehicles that pick up passengers along the way, carry more passengers than the prescribed number, unsafe technical vehicles still circulate on the road, illegal bus stations still exist... causing unhealthy competition, traffic insecurity, and a high risk of traffic accidents.

Clarifying the contents of the monitoring topic, the provincial National Assembly representative acknowledged the serious efforts of the transport enterprises, thanks to which the traffic order and safety situation at the units has been ensured, thereby contributing to helping the enterprises operate stably.

Regarding recommendations and comments from businesses on shortcomings related to ensuring traffic safety and order as well as the Road Traffic Safety Project, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation will collect and synthesize them to report to the National Assembly and relevant ministries and branches for consideration and resolution according to their authority.
