Chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee Le Tan Toi presented a report explaining, accepting and revising the draft Road Law. Regarding smart traffic, the National Assembly Standing Committee found that this is a new content and has changed and developed rapidly. Therefore, it is proposed to only stipulate general principles and assign the Government to stipulate details.

Regarding the proposal to consider the regulation that "compensation, support and resettlement work is carried out according to the planning scale", the National Assembly Standing Committee found that this regulation is suitable for practice, helps save total investment costs, builds highways and facilitates investment activities, builds technical infrastructure of highways.

At the same time, land recovery, compensation and resettlement are decided by the investment policy decision-making authority, must be determined in the investment policy decision in accordance with land law and can only be carried out when there is a project, not when there is only planning but no project has been established.

Regarding the proposal that the Road Inspectorate be allowed to stop vehicles for handling, the National Assembly Standing Committee noted that the draft Road Law stipulates that the Road Inspectorate shall perform specialized inspection functions, not conduct inspections or handle violations on the road, but only handle responsibilities through “static” traffic points and through the database. Patrolling and handling on the road shall be carried out by the Traffic Police force.

This, according to the National Assembly Standing Committee, is to ensure consistency and avoid overlapping functions and tasks between the Traffic Police force and the Road Inspectorate force; to avoid inconvenience to traffic participants when there are many forces with the authority to handle violations on the road.

The draft Road Law submitted at this 7th session has 86 articles, 6 articles less than the draft submitted by the Government previously. The draft law has received maximum comments from National Assembly deputies. If passed, the Road Law will take effect from October 1, 2024.
