Traffic on Vo Nguyen Giap Street (Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang City) is often chaotic and chaotic. The lack of cameras to issue fines has led to widespread violations.
Tourist vehicles are often found violating the law.
Over the years, Da Nang tourism has developed strongly. On the coastal road Vo Nguyen Giap, the hotel system is dense, and tourists are crowded. Along with that is the rapid increase of service and contract vehicles, so Vo Nguyen Giap Street often faces chaotic traffic situations, especially during rush hour.
Contract vehicles encroaching on lanes and crossing the road carelessly on Vo Nguyen Giap Street.
It is worth mentioning that this section of road is marked with a solid yellow line to separate two separate lanes. However, many contract drivers carelessly encroach on the line and make U-turns where they are not allowed, making the congestion even worse.
At nearly 5:00 p.m. on October 22, while traffic was lining up on Vo Nguyen Giap Street in the direction of Son Tra - Ngu Hanh Son, a 7-seat car with yellow license plate 43E-006.xx from a hotel brazenly crossed the solid line to the opposite lane, even though there was a place to turn around about 50 meters away.
Even though there were cars crossing the road carelessly, the cars still did not stop but crossed the line and encroached into the opposite lane, causing traffic chaos and posing a potential risk to traffic safety.
According to the reporter, at both ends of Vo Nguyen Giap Street at the intersections with Nguyen Van Thoai and Do Ba Streets, there are cameras to handle traffic violations, but there is none in the middle section. Taking advantage of this, drivers often drive over the solid lines to shorten the distance to the point where they can turn around.
Mr. Le Van Minh (residing in Ngu Hanh Son district) said that the right side of Vo Nguyen Giap street, at the intersection with Nguyen Van Thoai street, is often congested during rush hour because of tourist buses going in and out of hotels.
"Driving on this road during the afternoon rush hour is very frustrating. Every time a car crosses the road carelessly, dozens of cars behind have to wait in line to continue. Almost every day on the way home from work, there are cars violating this road but no one seems to handle it," said Mr. Minh.
Research on installing cameras to fine traffic violators
Speaking with Giao thong Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Trung Nghia, Deputy Director of the Department of Transport of Da Nang City, said that the authorities have surveyed the Vo Nguyen Giap route and determined that there are many tourist buses operating, picking up guests at hotels along the way.
Drawing a solid yellow line on this road is appropriate, because when tourist vehicles turn and change direction, it will create traffic conflicts, causing congestion right in front of the hotel gate.
According to Mr. Nghia, in the immediate future, the authorities need to increase patrols, control and handle violations. In the long term, they will study suitable solutions such as installing cameras to impose fines.
Colonel Phan Ngoc Truyen, Head of the Traffic Police Department of Da Nang City Police, informed that the Vo Nguyen Giap route is assigned to the local police for direct management. The Traffic Police Department receives data on violations transmitted from the camera system on the route. The Traffic Police Department records the feedback and will consult with the local police to strictly handle the violations.
Meanwhile, the commander of the Traffic Police - Order Team of Ngu Hanh Son District Police said that the unit has received information and has a plan to inspect and handle violations on Vo Nguyen Giap Street, to be implemented soon in the near future.
According to this person, for cooperatives and transport businesses in the area, the team has invited them to work and asked them to sign a commitment to ensure traffic safety. However, there are many vehicles from transport businesses in other places coming to operate, so it is very difficult to ask them to sign a commitment, mainly to detect violations and handle them there.
"In the long term, it is necessary to soon install more surveillance cameras on the route to increase processing efficiency," he added.
According to the Traffic Safety Committee of Ngu Hanh Son district, from now until the end of 2024, the district's functional forces will focus on patrolling, controlling, regulating, guiding and handling violations of traffic safety order.
In particular, strengthening thematic handling of behaviors with high risk of causing traffic accidents such as: Violating alcohol concentration, speeding, not obeying traffic lights, going against traffic direction, weaving, swerving, stopping and parking in violation of regulations...
