Strengthening traffic safety during Tet on highways

Currently, Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC) is managing and operating expressways across the country including: Noi Bai - Lao Cai, Cau Gie - Ninh Binh, Da Nang - Quang Ngai, Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay.

VEC requires the operation management units to closely coordinate with the functional forces on the route and the localities where the expressway passes through to ensure traffic order and safety, quickly handle incidents (if any) to ensure smooth traffic.

Strictly handle vehicles parked illegally, motorbikes, pedestrians entering the highway. Especially the situation of motorbike taxis picking up passengers at the entrances to toll stations.

VEC also requires units to carry out the work of clearing and removing trees along both sides of the highway corridor that are at risk of falling, tree branches that obscure the view of markers, signs, cleaning signs, reflective systems, etc. to ensure safe visibility for vehicles traveling on the route.

Clean the road surface and sidewalks, ensure the road surface positions on the bridge before and after the toll station area are clean and beautiful.

Absolutely comply with traffic safety and labor safety measures when performing tasks on the route.

In addition, VEC also requested the operating unit to stop construction with contractors and units that do not properly implement approved measures to ensure traffic order and safety.

In particular, units need to develop plans to ensure traffic order and safety, prevent traffic congestion, and assign officers to be on-site to handle arising tasks on highways during Tet.
