To proactively respond and promptly overcome the consequences of storms and floods, ensuring traffic safety for people and vehicles through areas at risk of landslides and floods, the Vietnam Road Administration requests agencies and units to urgently review areas at high risk of flash floods, landslides, and inundation to promptly implement warning solutions such as: installing landslide and flood warning signs; barriers; arranging guards, guides, and traffic regulators through dangerous areas, ensuring safe and smooth traffic.

The Vietnam Road Administration requests the Departments of Construction of the above provinces and cities, based on the situation of storms and floods, the level and risk of landslides and flooding of the routes, to advise the Provincial People's Committee to direct relevant agencies to study and decide to restrict vehicles, especially passenger cars, from traveling at night, when there is a high risk of landslides and flooding... At the same time, develop and implement reasonable traffic diversion plans to ensure smooth and safe traffic.

The Vietnam Road Administration also requested Road Management Zones II and III to urgently guide and support localities in repairing traffic infrastructure damaged by natural disasters, especially in areas that are still isolated and have landslides causing serious consequences.
