Many vehicles were fined due to "hidden" signs in Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat

Last month, the Traffic Monitoring Center of Da Lat City (Lam Dong Province) recorded 286 cases of violations of the Road Traffic Law through the surveillance camera system - nearly 3 times higher than the average level of the previous month.

The main violations include: not obeying traffic lights, going the wrong way and turning left where there is a no-entry sign. Notably, there were up to 165 cases (more than 50%) of illegal left turns, most of which were vehicles with license plates from other provinces and cities.

Actual records at the Nguyen Van Cu - Ba Trieu intersection (Xuan Huong Ward - Da Lat), where many violations are concentrated, show that the no left turn sign is obscured by vehicles parked on the side of the road, especially during rush hour. In addition, the sign is installed far from the turning point, making it difficult for drivers to recognize and comply.

For the direction of travel from Ba Trieu Street to Nguyen Van Cu, the no-turn sign is placed far from the intersection with Nguyen Van Cu, leading to misunderstandings about the no-turn direction. Photo: DOAN KIEN

At the Hoang Van Thu – Tran Phu intersection (Xuan Huong Ward – Da Lat), where two-way traffic used to be allowed, there are now “no entry” signs and traffic lights. However, due to changes in traffic flow and lack of clear instructions, many vehicles – especially those from other provinces – still make mistakes and violate the rules.

Previously, many readers had reported the inadequate state of signs at the above intersections to SGGP Newspaper. Although the authorities had conducted a field survey, there has been no effective solution to date.
