On the first working day after the 2024 Lunar New Year holiday, many streets in Hanoi returned to their usual busy and bustling pace. However, traffic jams were almost non-existent on the streets, with vehicles easily passing through traffic "black spots" during rush hour.

Recorded at 7:30 a.m. on February 15 at the Cau Giay intersection, traffic density increased compared to the 2024 Lunar New Year holiday.

However, according to observations, if the Cau Giay intersection is normally congested for kilometers during rush hour, on the first working day after Tet holiday, vehicles only need to stop and wait for a traffic light to be able to move.

De La Thanh Street in front of the National Children's Hospital is one of the "black spots" of traffic jams regardless of time, but this morning it became deserted.

7:40 at Dao Tan - Lieu Giai intersection, vehicles move easily after stopping for a traffic light.

The authorities are responsible for regulating and directing traffic at all intersections and traffic "black spots" in Hanoi.

Nguyen Chi Thanh Street at 8am, the right side in the photo is slightly congested at the intersection of Nguyen Chi Thanh - Huynh Thuc Khang, the left side is clear.

Although the traffic density increased at the Tran Duy Hung - Nguyen Chi Thanh overpass. However, there was no prolonged traffic jam as usual.

Although Hanoi students have returned to school, university students are still on Tet holiday, so this is one of the reasons why Hanoi traffic is "easy" on the first working day after Tet. In the photo, the pedestrian overpass in the area with many universities on Nguyen Chi Thanh street is deserted.

At 8:15 a.m. on Huynh Thuc Khang Street, vehicles can move continuously without stopping.

On Lang Street, vehicles only need to stop and wait for 1-2 traffic lights instead of 3-4 as usual.

Thai Ha - Chua Boc intersection is clear during rush hour this morning.

There was no prolonged traffic jam at Nga Tu So area at 8:30.

Vehicles move comfortably on Nguyen Trai Street towards Nga Tu So during rush hour this morning.
