The Hanoi Department of Transport has just announced an adjustment to the pilot traffic organization of a priority road for bicycles from Moc Bridge to Yen Hoa Bridge, starting from February 1.
Accordingly, Hanoi will adjust the traffic organization of the To Lich riverside route from Moc bridge to Yen Hoa bridge from a pedestrian road to a priority road for bicycles and pedestrians (a road for bicycles and pedestrians to travel together).
Specifically, the bicycle lane is organized for two-way traffic, 3.0m wide, arranged on the To Lich River side; the 1.0m wide walking path is arranged on the Lang Street side.
The type of bicycle allowed to participate in traffic on the pilot route is bicycles that move entirely by human power (electric bicycles are not allowed).
In addition, 6 public bicycle stations near bus stops and waiting areas will also be added to the above route; 1 bicycle station at Station S8 of Urban Railway Line No. 3 Nhon - Hanoi Railway Station (there is already 1 public bicycle station at Lang Station).
Bicycles on this route are connected to shared bicycle paths on other routes such as Lang, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Tran Duy Hung, Le Van Luong... through intersections (Moc bridge intersection, Lang - Nguyen Chi Thanh - Tran Duy Hung intersection; Lang - Le Van Luong intersection; 361 bridge intersection; Cot bridge intersection; Yen Hoa bridge intersection).
The first bicycle route will run along the To Lich River, 2.3km long and 4m wide (Photo: Huu Thang).
To facilitate the pilot, the Hanoi Department of Transport assigned the Traffic Infrastructure Maintenance Board to implement construction, adjust, and install the traffic signs and paint lines according to the traffic organization announcement; Coordinate with the Department Inspectorate and units to monitor the traffic situation, report and propose adjustments to any shortcomings.
The Department of Transport Inspectorate is assigned to coordinate with the Traffic Police and relevant units to organize traffic guidance and ensure traffic safety for vehicles traveling through the area during the pilot period. Monitor and evaluate the traffic situation on the route and area to promptly detect, report and propose to the Department of Transport leaders if there are any shortcomings for appropriate adjustment.
The Department of Transport also requested Tri Nam Digital Transport Service Joint Stock Company to paint lines, install signs and arrange enough bicycles at 7 bicycle stations on the route, ensuring good operation during the pilot implementation .
