Ensure traffic safety corridor

In recent times, the management and protection of road traffic safety corridors has been focused on by relevant sectors, levels and units in the province, creating positive changes. The restoration of order on roads, sidewalks and traffic corridors has contributed to raising awareness and self-consciousness in complying with traffic laws among the people.

Authorities mobilized to ensure traffic safety corridor in Huong Non commune, Tam Nong district.

According to our research, the communes of Huong Non, Van Xuan, Dan Quyen and Hung Hoa town... in Tam Nong district are all located along National Highway 32, 32C, so besides the advantages in socio-economic development, the work of ensuring order and safety of road traffic corridors still has many difficulties. Major Tran Huu Dung - Traffic Police Team, District Police informed: Along with propaganda, through the work of grasping the situation of the route, area and patrolling, controlling to ensure traffic safety, the Traffic Police Team found that on National Highway 32 in Huong Non commune, there are many restaurants, shops, businesses, and goods trading but have not implemented well the guidance, management, and arrangement of parking spots for customers, leading to the situation of vehicles, especially cars stopping and parking in violation of regulations, posing a potential risk of traffic safety. Therefore, the District Police presided over and coordinated with the People's Committee of Huong Non commune to organize a conference to sign a commitment to ensure traffic safety for representatives of 9 shops and restaurants, and at the same time coordinated with localities and related forces to clear the traffic safety corridor on National Highway 32, 32C in Van Xuan commune, Huong Non commune and district roads DH 77, DH 78, Hung Hoa town.

Currently, most of the roads in the province are two-way mixed traffic, making the roads narrow and causing congestion at peak times. Along with that, the awareness of a part of the people is not high, the situation of violating the road traffic safety corridor still occurs, the risk of accidents is possible if there is no reminder, handling and promotion of propaganda work from relevant agencies and units. In 2024, the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee and its member agencies have developed a plan to propagate, disseminate and educate the law on ensuring traffic safety corridors. The Department of Transport directs the Department's Inspectorate, the Project Management Board for Construction and Maintenance of Traffic Works to closely coordinate with local authorities at district and commune levels, and relevant agencies in propaganda, prevention and clearance of violations of encroachment on road traffic safety corridors.

In just 9 months, 115 tents, stalls, canopies, 224 advertising signs were dismantled and moved, ^65m3 of construction materials were cleared, 134 mobile sales stalls were moved, 335 trees that obstructed the view were trimmed; construction was stopped, construction was stopped, and related agencies were closely coordinated to handle cases of illegal connections, site leveling... without construction permits or construction in violation of permits.

With the area having National Highways running through, the number of vehicles participating in road traffic is increasing, especially during holidays and Tet, the local police have stepped up propaganda, mobilizing people and organizations to comply with the provisions of the law on ensuring traffic safety; coordinated with political and social organizations in propaganda, educating awareness of compliance with the law on traffic safety in many forms to build a culture of safe traffic for everyone. Continue to review business establishments and restaurants in the area, coordinate with the District Traffic Safety Committee and the authorities of communes and towns to organize business households to sign a commitment to comply with regulations on ensuring traffic safety; directed the traffic police force and the police of communes and towns to strengthen inspection and strictly handle violations, contributing to ensuring traffic safety.

The Provincial Traffic Safety Committee continues to implement the plan to ensure traffic safety for the period of 2021-2025; improve, innovate, integrate, and specify the content and forms of propaganda to raise people's legal awareness of ensuring traffic safety corridors. Promote the effectiveness of coordination with the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee, sectors, unions, and socio-political organizations in propaganda and mobilizing people to ensure traffic safety, striving to reduce traffic accidents in the province in all three criteria: Number of cases, number of deaths, and number of injuries.
