Cars lined up hundreds of meters on the coastal road at night

TPO - Cars are stuck, following each other slowly. Motorbikes have to climb the curb to escape the traffic jam on the coastal road of Da Nang city.

On the evening of September 2, the coastal road Vo Nguyen Giap at the Nguyen Van Thoai intersection was packed with vehicles, especially when there were many large passenger vans passing by.

Many sections of the road were impassable, especially when there were large passenger vans. These vans picked up and dropped off passengers from hotels around the coastal area. Nguyen Hai Long (41 years old, Thanh Hoa) said he had spent a lot of time waiting. "I had heard that the coastal road was crowded at night, but I didn't think it would be this jammed," he said.

Cars, electric cars, and motorbikes jostle chaotically in the middle of the road. According to records, this route starts to get congested from 7 p.m. onwards. Mr. Hai, an employee at a nearby parking lot, said that this situation happens every evening during the holidays. "They don't just go out to eat and drink, but everyone leaves the hotel to go see the Dragon Bridge breathe fire. This section of the road becomes more open after 9 p.m.," he said.
