Hanoi streets 'empty' of vehicles seen from above

During the holidays of April 30 and May 1, the streets of Hanoi were really deserted as many people had returned to their hometowns and gone on vacation . Looking from above, everywhere you could see a strange "emptiness".

Hanoi streets in a new look. Truong Chinh intersection, one of the traffic jam black spots, is now quite empty of vehicles.

Le Van Luong - To Huu underpass intersection, gateway connecting Ha Dong and Thanh Xuan districts with streets leading to the city center.

Mai Dich intersection, Ho Tung Mau - Pham Van Dong section, has just built two steel overpasses worth more than 340 billion VND and has not yet opened to traffic today.

Pham Van Dong Street, the northern gateway of the capital, is clear.

Hoang Quoc Viet Street is green, peaceful, and no longer has traffic jams.

No more dense traffic waiting at the red light at the intersection of Hoang Quoc Viet - Nguyen Van Huyen.

Le Van Luong Street looking towards Lang Ha intersection - Lang Street.

Le Van Luong Street looking towards the Hoang Minh Giam - Nguyen Tuan intersection. This street is known by many people to have a high population density and frequent traffic jams. The street is 2km long but has 40 apartment buildings on both sides.

During rush hour, vehicles waiting at traffic lights on Lang Road are congested for several kilometers, both from Nga Tu So and from Buoi Street to the intersections with Tran Duy Hung and Le Van Luong.

Vehicles on Buoi Street are free to travel at the permitted speed.

Nguyen Trai Street, the "haunted street" of the people of Thanh Xuan and Ha Dong districts. When it rains, there is no more space on both sides because a series of cars block the way for motorbikes.

Tran Duy Hung Street was known to be more congested the more the median strip was cut and widened, but now it is very clear.

Vo Chi Cong Street with beautiful rows of trees. Starting from Hoang Quoc Viet, heading north, you will meet Xuan La, Nguyen Hoang Ton, Au Co, and An Duong Vuong streets.
