The Coconut Vegetable Market poses a potential traffic accident risk.

The Rau Dua market area in Hung My commune has long been a bustling trading hub, attracting numerous small traders and locals to buy and sell goods every day. However, along with the development of commercial activities, many shortcomings regarding traffic safety and order are emerging, posing a potential risk of accidents.

• Coconut Vegetable Market: Small traders hope for support in overcoming difficulties.
• Street vendors are frustrated by encroachment on public space.

The market is located right on National Highway 1 - a vital transportation artery connecting the provincial center with other localities in the region. Traffic volume is always high, especially during peak hours in the morning and afternoon.

The area around Rau Dua market frequently experiences traffic congestion during peak hours.

Notably, the central area of ​​the market is situated between the two ends of the Rau Dua bridge slope. From both directions of traffic, many vehicles descending the slope often suddenly turn into the market or make U-turns while visibility is limited, posing a potential risk of traffic collisions.

The market center is located right at the bottom of the Rau Dua bridge slope, posing a potential traffic safety risk.

In addition, the practice of people driving motorbikes out of the market against the flow of traffic or cutting across the road to cross the street still occurs, increasing the risk of accidents.

Furthermore, encroachment on traffic safety corridors by vendors is quite common. Many stalls, pushcarts, and vehicles belonging to vendors are concentrated close to the road edge, making the already narrow road even more congested and affecting the flow of traffic.

The encroachment of vendors onto traffic safety corridors remains a common problem.

Local residents say that unsafe traffic situations occur frequently in this area, especially for the elderly and those who are passing through the market for the first time.

Given this situation, residents hope that the relevant authorities will soon survey and reorganize traffic in the Rau Dua market area; strengthen the system of traffic signs and road markings; and rectify the encroachment on the road and sidewalks for trading purposes.

Many have suggested that the market area should be planned and reorganized soon to reduce traffic pressure on National Highway 1.

In the long term, it is necessary to study planning options to expand the market space or arrange suitable business areas to reduce traffic pressure on National Highway 1.

With the ever-increasing volume of traffic, if these shortcomings are not addressed promptly, Rau Dua Market will continue to be one of the potential traffic safety hazards on the province's main thoroughfare.
