An Phu Intersection (Thu Duc City) is the intersection of many major roads with heavy traffic.

It is estimated that about 20,000 container trucks pass through here every day. The waiting time for the red light at this intersection is quite long, the red light from the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway to the center of Ho Chi Minh City is prolonged, which is one of the reasons why the exit of this expressway from Dong Nai to Ho Chi Minh City is often congested.
