Proposal to divert traffic on 8 highways

On the morning of September 20, information from the Traffic Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) said that the unit has just sent a document requesting the Vietnam Road Administration to continue dividing lanes and traffic flows on 8 sections of 4-lane highways with continuous emergency stops.

Specifically, the sections and routes include: Da Nang - Quang Ngai (Km 0 - Km 131+500), Hai Phong - Mong Cai (Km 0 - Km 175), Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay (Km 4 - Km 54+983), Phan Thiet - Dau Giay (Km 0 - Km 99), Cau Gie - Cao Bo (Km 211+260 - Km 259+200), Bac Giang - Lang Son (Km 45+100 - Km 109+660), Hanoi - Lao Cai (Km 0+400 - Km 123), Ho Chi Minh City - Trung Luong (Km 10 - Km 49+800).

Accordingly, speed adjustment will be made in the direction of increasing the minimum speed in lane 1 (lane close to the median strip) from 60km/h to 80km/h.

Traffic lanes on these routes are organized as follows:

Lane 1 (close to the median strip) will have a maximum speed of 120km/h, a minimum speed of 80km/h or a maximum of 100km/h, a minimum of 80km/h for trucks, trucks under 7.5 tons, and passenger cars under 30 seats.

Lane 2 (next to the emergency lane) has a maximum speed of 100km/h, a minimum speed of 60km/h for mixed vehicles. Trucks weighing 7.5 tons or more and passenger vans with more than 30 seats use this lane.

The Traffic Police Department also proposed to organize lane separation at toll stations, separate fixed lanes for priority vehicles, cars, buses, trucks... in accordance with the lane separation on the route. At the same time, add road signs to implement lane separation as above and immediately fix some existing problems and unreasonable traffic organization.

According to the Traffic Police Department, the proposal is based on the initial pilot results on the Phap Van - Cau Gie and Hanoi - Hai Phong expressways, which have shown to be effective, creating more open lanes, receiving the support of the people and reducing traffic accidents.
