However, after Decree 168/2024/ND-CP took effect, this situation has decreased significantly. Traffic participants comply with regulations more seriously, contributing to significantly improving traffic order, especially at intersections.
Supporting the fines stipulated in Decree 168/2024/ND-CP, Mr. Nguyen Van Minh in Tien Cat ward, Viet Tri city said: Implementing Decree 168/2024/ND-CP not only helps people increase their awareness of law compliance but also has a high educational value, people raise their awareness when traveling, and must follow the law.
