Ms. Le Thi Cuc, a trader in the market, said that since implementing traffic diversion, arranging one-way streets, prohibiting stopping and parking by the hour, especially prohibiting stopping and parking during rush hours... people and vehicles now move more freely, traffic conflicts and traffic congestion on the streets around Han market have been significantly reduced. In particular, the traffic space for people and tourists walking on the streets is more convenient, airy and safer. Mr. Tran Thai Thuat, a service driver who regularly transports visitors and shoppers at Han market, shared that traffic diversion around Han market is necessary and has brought positive results. In particular, after applying the traffic diversion, the traffic congestion around Han market has been significantly improved. The diversion helps to divide the flow of vehicles, minimizing the risk of traffic accidents. Along with that, the access roads are arranged reasonably, ensuring the safety of pedestrians and vehicles participating in traffic. In addition, the diversion also contributes to creating a beautiful landscape, attracting tourists; people and tourists can move quickly, conveniently, saving time; facilitate business activities... In recent times, the functional sectors have strengthened guidance, propaganda, regulation to ensure traffic safety and order and organized peak periods to restore urban order on the roads around Han market area, especially on the one-way road on Hung Vuong and Nguyen Thai Hoc (Tran Phu - Bach Dang section)... Thanks to that, the situation of drivers violating the rules on the roads around Han market area has decreased significantly, especially contract vehicles and tourist vehicles stopping and parking illegally on Tran Phu street during rush hours has changed significantly. More reasonable traffic organization According to the Department of Transport, in early December 2023, the department issued a document prohibiting parking on Tran Phu street during rush hours, from Phan Dinh Phung street to Nguyen Van Linh street during the hours of 6:30 to 8:30, 11:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 19:00. The application of parking ban on this section is based on the assessment of the current status of vehicle density, traffic situation, parking on Tran Phu Street and the opinions of agencies and units agreeing to ban parking on Tran Phu Street (from Phan Dinh Phung to Nguyen Van Linh) during rush hours from 6:30 to 8:30, 11:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00 (except for sections where parking was previously banned, which are kept in their current state). This is a measure to ensure order and limit traffic congestion on Tran Phu Street. Along with that, the Department organized a pilot plan to organize one-way traffic on Hung Vuong and Nguyen Thai Hoc streets from March 25 to 31, 2024, during 2 rush hours from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 16:30 to 18:00. For Hung Vuong Street, one-way traffic is organized from Bach Dang - Tran Phu; Nguyen Thai Hoc Street organizes one-way traffic from Tran Phu - Bach Dang. Director of the Department of Transport Bui Hong Trung said that after the pilot period, based on the assessment of the traffic situation, receiving opinions from people, local authorities and specialized agencies and units, the department has adjusted the time for stopping and parking bans on Tran Phu Street and organized one-way traffic on more reasonable routes, both to facilitate transportation, pick-up and drop-off of passengers around Han market area, and to ensure traffic safety and urban order. Currently, the parking ban on Tran Phu Street (from Phan Dinh Phung to Nguyen Van Linh) has been adjusted during rush hours from 6:30 to 8:30, 11:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 to 11:00 to 12:00 and 17:00 to 18:30. Hung Vuong Street organizes one-way traffic from Bach Dang - Tran Phu; Nguyen Thai Hoc Street organizes one-way traffic from Tran Phu - Bach Dang and prohibits passenger cars with more than 30 seats from entering these streets during 2 time frames from 10:30 to 12:00 and 16:30 to 19:00. At the same time, bus and tourist bus stops have been arranged on Bach Dang Street and the stopping time, pick-up and drop-off time must not exceed 5 minutes. Traffic diversion around Han Market has brought about positive results. This is an effective solution that needs to be maintained and developed to ensure traffic safety and order in this area.
