TPO - To save time when going down the Thanh Xuan tunnel from Nguyen Tuan street (Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi), many people, regardless of the danger, risked their lives by crossing the crowded traffic moving at high speed.

Since July 2023, authorities have installed additional barriers at the Thanh Xuan underpass entrance to divert traffic from Nguyen Tuan so that it does not cut across the flow of vehicles going down the underpass.

This is one of the capital's hot traffic intersections, often experiencing traffic jams, especially during rush hour.

Every day, vehicles still go straight from Nguyen Tuan, cutting across other vehicles and crossing many lanes on Nguyen Trai Street when going down the underpass, posing a potential risk to traffic safety and causing accidents.

According to local residents, traffic accidents often occur at this location, and vehicles traveling on Nguyen Trai Street often have to brake suddenly and stop to let vehicles cross the street.

"Going down Thanh Xuan tunnel is faster and more convenient, so some people just go, especially during rush hour in the morning and afternoon, the road above is often congested and you have to wait for traffic lights. But when the road is empty, collisions are more likely to happen because vehicles are going fast," said Mr. Tung (Thanh Xuan, Hanoi).

Currently there is no sign prohibiting going straight from Nguyen Tuan to the Thanh Xuan underpass exit, there is only a danger sign at this intersection.

According to the reporter, vehicles crossing the road and cutting off other vehicles on Nguyen Trai Street to Thanh Xuan underpass happens frequently, posing a potential risk of traffic accidents when vehicles are traveling at high speed.

Not only motorbikes, cars and large passenger vans often cross multiple lanes to go down the Thanh Xuan underpass.

Vehicles crossing the road make traffic messy and easily congested.

Even many motorbikes recklessly go in the opposite direction.
