Traffic lights need to be installed.

From National Highway 14, to turn onto Phan Boi Chau Street, Tan Binh Ward, Dong Xoai City, many vehicles have to stop in the middle of the road for a long time before being able to cross.

From 6-7am and from 5-6pm every day, the traffic density at this intersection is high due to workers going to and from Dong Xoai Industrial Parks I, Dong Xoai II, Dong Xoai III and students from Dong Xoai High School going to and from school. Because there is no traffic light system, everyone goes their own way, making the traffic situation complicated and dangerous. Ms. Lo Thi Tinh in Quarter 1, Tien Thanh Ward, Dong Xoai City, who sells bread at the intersection, said: “Accidents and collisions between motorbikes happen frequently. The reason is that students from Dong Xoai High School turn from National Highway 14 onto Phan Boi Chau Street, while workers from Dong Xoai Industrial Parks I, Dong Xoai II go straight, no one gives way to each other, leading to collisions.”

Mr. Dinh Van Bang, resident of Tan Thien ward, Dong Xoai city, who comes to this area early every morning to pump wastewater from Dong Xoai city's drainage system to the company for treatment, said: "This location is very complicated and dangerous because the intersection is as low as a basin, vehicles moving in the direction of Chon Thanh - Dong Xoai to this location always go at high speed because of the steep slope. Especially many heavy trucks and container trucks do not slow down, leading to a very high risk of traffic accidents."

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Danh in Quarter 4, Tien Thanh Ward, who works as a motorbike repairman at the intersection, said: “To move from National Highway 14 to Phan Boi Chau Street, many vehicles have to stop and wait in the middle of the highway for a long time. Some people are subjective, lack of observation, and cross the road carelessly, causing collisions and accidents. In fact, I have witnessed many accidents here that have resulted in death. Therefore, I request that the relevant authorities soon install a traffic light system.”

Faced with the complicated traffic situation at the intersection of National Highway 14 and Phan Boi Chau Street, Tan Binh Ward, the department's leaders directed the Dong Phu Traffic Police Station to regularly patrol, control and handle violations here. At the same time, the Provincial Traffic Police Department issued an official dispatch requesting the Road Management Office IV.2, Road Management Area IV, and Vietnam Road Administration to install a traffic light system. The two units and related agencies have organized a field survey. It is known that the Road Management Office IV.2 has prepared a dossier and plan and will deploy the installation of a traffic light system here in 2025.
