On the afternoon of August 29, the last working day before the National Day holiday, many people in Ho Chi Minh City took the opportunity to return to their hometowns and travel with their relatives. The heavy rain made it very difficult for many people to move around.

According to the reporter's records from 4:30 p.m., the number of vehicles moving towards Tan Son Nhat airport and the western provinces increased dramatically. In the area heading towards the west, traffic was moving slowly.

By 5 p.m. the same day, heavy rain poured down on all wards in Ho Chi Minh City. The bad weather made it difficult for people to move around.

Inside the bus station, passengers crowded under the awning to take shelter from the rain, lining up to buy tickets and prepare for departure.

At the western gateway, traffic is congested.

Previously, from 2:00 p.m. on August 29, the entire Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Police force (PC08) was mobilized to work 24/7 at key intersections to regulate traffic, prevent congestion and support people to travel safely and smoothly during the peak holiday of September 2.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Binh, Ho Chi Minh City currently has more than 300 points at risk of congestion. At these locations, the Traffic Police coordinate with local police, youth volunteers and grassroots security forces to regulate and divert traffic, limiting prolonged congestion. At the same time, free water is provided to people on their way home for the September 2 holiday.

In addition to the surveillance camera system directly connected to the center, Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Police also deployed flycams to observe traffic from above. Thanks to that, the authorities can quickly detect arising situations, promptly operate and handle them more effectively during the peak of the September 2nd holiday.
