In Long Hai commune, from July 1st, 2025 to the present, numerous campaigns have been organized to inspect and address the encroachment and illegal use of roads and sidewalks; as a result, urban order management in the commune has achieved many positive results.

However, encroachment on roads and sidewalks for trading, illegal parking, and unauthorized use of public spaces still recur in some streets and residential areas, affecting urban aesthetics, traffic safety, and people's lives.

Therefore, during this peak period, the Long Hai Commune Traffic Safety Committee organized for 100% of households and businesses encroaching on sidewalks and roadsides to sign commitments not to violate urban order and public order; organized patrols and inspections to strictly handle violations; and intensified propaganda on ensuring security and order in the area, regulations, penalties, and the responsibilities of agencies, organizations, and individuals when participating in public activities.
