Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) and relevant authorities of the five localities were requested to direct the regional road management office as well as related BOT investors to strengthen traffic safety on national highways and roads in the management area connecting with the five expressway projects: Bai Vot - Ham Nghi, Ham Nghi - Vung Ang, Bung - Van Ninh, Van Phong - Nha Trang, Ben Luc - Long Thanh and Rach Mieu 2 Bridge.

Functional units must adjust and supplement the road signaling system; divide traffic and warn, patch potholes, drain the road surface, clear the drainage system and clear the road to ensure visibility.
