TPO - After a heavy rain this afternoon (October 8), many roads were flooded, forcing people in Ho Chi Minh City to constantly change traffic directions to find their way home, leading to traffic jams on all roads.

Many people traveling from the city center to Hoc Mon, Tan Phu, Binh Tan, District 12... have to constantly change directions, choose small roads to go but almost all share the same situation of being stuck, moving step by step.

The sidewalk of Ly Thuong Kiet street welcomes a crowded stream of vehicles avoiding the "backbone" Cach Mang Thang 8 street, turning off through Bac Hai area...

Near Tan Binh market, traffic is chaotic on sidewalks and roads....

In places where sidewalks are encroached, the flow of traffic becomes even more chaotic.

This area has many shops encroaching on the sidewalks, making traffic even more difficult and chaotic.

A man waited for the bus for a long time because of traffic jam.

Some parents pick up their children and go in the opposite direction.

Pham Phu Thu Street (Tan Binh District) is crowded with traffic.

Pham Phu Thu Street is narrow and has a lot of traffic, so sometimes you have to stop for a few minutes at congested intersections.

This sidewalk is narrow so it is quite difficult for people to move.

The civilian forces are working hard to help regulate traffic at intersections.

"Black spot" Nguyen Quy Anh-Tan Ky Tan Quy is jammed because of traffic from Ba Queo market, Au Co, Pham Phu Thu...

Civil defense forces, youth volunteers, union members, police, militia... were all present on the road to regulate traffic and support road users. Many "reluctant knights" were people living in congested areas, motorbike taxi drivers, workers... also joined hands to regulate traffic.
