The plan requires the national traffic police force to strengthen inspection and handling of violations of traffic safety and order for middle and high school students, parents, guardians, people who give vehicles to students who are not qualified to drive, vehicle owners and parents who transport students who violate regulations on road, inland waterway, and railway transport.

Inspections and handling of violations are carried out thoroughly and maintained regularly and continuously, creating positive changes in awareness and compliance with traffic safety laws of parents and students, ensuring strict adherence to the law and minimizing traffic accidents involving students.

In the road sector, the traffic police force will patrol and control main traffic routes in urban areas, inter-village and inter-commune routes, district and provincial roads, national highways, areas near schools, and areas where many young people gather to violate traffic safety and order.

Focus on violations such as: Driving without a driver's license, not wearing a helmet, carrying more passengers than the prescribed number, not obeying traffic lights, driving in a row... cases of students and parents stopping or parking illegally on the road, on the sidewalk, at crossroads causing traffic jams, potentially causing traffic accidents.
