Tourists flock to Da Lat for spring travel

From the afternoon and evening of February 12 (the third day of the Lunar New Year), groups of cars carrying tourists lined up to Da Lat for spring travel on the Prenn Pass. There was a lot of traffic but there was no traffic jam like in previous years, thanks to the Prenn Pass being widened to 4 lanes.

Mr. Nguyen Huynh Quoc Trung, Captain of the Traffic Police Team of Da Lat City Police ( Lam Dong ), said that from the 28th of Tet until now, the unit has mobilized 100% of its regular staff to patrol and regulate traffic in the city.

Da Lat City Police also arranged a crane to be on standby to support vehicles having problems on the pass to ensure smooth traffic; Traffic police and Tuan Anh rescue unit also distributed free water to tourists.

The traffic routes in the inner city of Da Lat have been upgraded and expanded, but there is always a traffic police force on duty to regulate, so at peak times, traffic congestion is significantly reduced.
