In Dien Chau district, people use many roads to dry rice. Typically in Dien Nguyen commune (Dien Chau), people dry rice on the main roads of the commune. Tree branches, tires... are used as warning signs but in reality become dangerous obstacles.
At the end of school hours, students passing through these roads have to weave through obstacles. Some people even bring their rice threshing machines out into the middle of the road to work, blocking the inter-commune road from Dien Nguyen to Dien Cat, causing traffic jams.
Similar to many other places, in Do Luong district, people also take advantage of the road to dry rice after harvest. On National Highway 7 - where traffic density is high - people in Dang Son commune dry rice right in the middle of the road.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Kien, a local resident, shared: “Drying rice after the harvest is an essential need, however, people need to choose the right location and time. Instead of occupying the road, we should take advantage of the communal stadium, the meeting hall yard... to ensure traffic safety.”
A similar situation also occurred on National Highway 7C, through Bai Son commune, Do Luong district, when people dried rice along the road, despite the heavy traffic.
At this time, along the road to Thanh Thuy border gate, people dry corn and rice all over the road, affecting traffic. A local farmer shared: "Our family does not have a drying yard, only a roof over the yard. While the weather is always changing erratically, if we do not take advantage of the sunny weather to dry the rice, after just a few days, the rice will become wet and sprout. Therefore, even though we know it is a violation, we still have to put the rice out on the road to dry."
Mr. Tran Van The, a driver in Thanh Chuong district, said: "I often transport goods here and see many roads where people use them to dry rice after the harvest season. This poses a potential risk to traffic safety."
Mr. Ha Hong Thai - Chairman of Thanh Thuy Commune People's Committee said: Before the rice harvest season, the commune government has increased propaganda through the local radio system, aiming to raise people's awareness of not drying straw, rice, or placing rice threshing machines on the roadside or roadside. However, despite propaganda efforts, the situation of drying rice on the road is still unavoidable.
In Yen Thanh district, many roads are used by people to dry rice. A typical example is the road connecting Gam pagoda to Truc Lam Zen Monastery (Xuan Thanh commune), where many households are drying rice right in the middle of the road.
More seriously, some households also use obstacles to block vehicles, preventing them from passing through the rice drying area, seriously hindering traffic and posing a potential risk of accidents.
Mr. Phan Hoang Thu - Chairman of Xuan Thanh Commune People's Committee said that the local government has actively promoted and encouraged people not to dry rice on the roads to ensure traffic safety. However, the implementation is still facing many difficulties, because most of the houses have corrugated iron roofs so they cannot dry rice. Therefore, people have taken the rice out to the road to dry.
Not only in the above districts, along National Highway 46C through Hung Nguyen and Nam Dan districts, people also turn the road surface into a "drying yard" with agricultural products covered in gold on both sides of the road.
To prevent this situation from continuing, in addition to increasing propaganda and mobilizing people to raise awareness, it is time for local authorities to take strict measures to handle violations, to ensure the safety of people and traffic order and safety in the area.
