"Carefree" parking at bus stops in Ha Tinh City

In Ha Tinh City, it is not difficult to see images of cars, motorbikes, and taxis stopping at bus stops to pick up and drop off passengers. This is an illegal act, causing traffic insecurity and needs to be corrected.

Video: Many drivers carelessly stop and park their cars at the bus pick-up and drop-off area.

A bus pick-up and drop-off point on Ham Nghi Street has been stopped and parked illegally by cars. This is not a difficult sight to see because there are many restaurants and cafes in this area, so many drivers have blatantly violated the regulations, "parking wherever is convenient".

Mr. Tran Anh (Ha Huy Tap Ward, Ha Tinh City) shared: "When buses cannot stop at bus stops, we passengers are forced to get on and off on the street, causing a lot of inconvenience and insecurity." Photo: Another pick-up and drop-off point is also often "requisitioned" on Ham Nghi Street.

The bus stopped at the wrong location, while passengers had to get on and off the bus right on the road, causing traffic safety risks. Photo: Cars parked at the pick-up and drop-off point on Nguyen Cong Tru Street.

The pick-up and drop-off area at the bus stop on Tran Phu Street (near the intersection with Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street) is often quite chaotic.

People stop their motorbikes even though the bus stop and parking area has separate yellow lines. Photo at the bus stop on Tran Phu Street.
