Passenger bus going in the wrong direction stuck at Tay Son overpass

A 29-seat passenger bus with license plate 35E-005.xx was traveling in the wrong direction on the Tay Son - Thai Ha overpass, causing traffic jam.

According to the Hanoi Department of Transport, at 8:20 this morning (January 10), a 29-seat passenger bus with license plate 35E-005.xx was traveling up the Tay Son - Thai Ha overpass in Dong Da district. This overpass has been installed with a sign prohibiting passenger buses and a height restriction system. When entering, the bus got stuck at the limit bar, causing traffic congestion.

The driver of a 29-seat passenger bus drove in the wrong direction on the Tay Son - Thai Ha overpass during rush hour, causing outrage.

Immediately after the bus violated the law, the Hanoi Department of Transport's road management unit and Traffic Police Team No. 3 deployed a traffic diversion plan, guiding vehicles through the area, and assisting in "rescuing" the stuck vehicle. After about 15 minutes, traffic on the route returned to normal.

Working with the authorities, Mr. PCĐ (born in 1963 in Tam Diep city, Ninh Binh province), the driver, admitted that he did not pay attention, leading to entering the prohibited road.

The traffic police have drawn up an administrative violation report against Mr. PCĐ for "driving a vehicle onto a road with a sign prohibiting entry for the type of vehicle being driven", and have temporarily confiscated his driver's license for processing.

According to Decree No. 168/2024/ND-CP effective from January 1, 2025, this behavior will be fined from 4 to 6 million VND and have 2 points deducted from the driver's license.
