The information "can arbitrarily adjust traffic signals" is fake news

(CLO) Recently, social networks have spread information about a man in black who can interfere with the traffic light system in the Khuat Duy Tien - Thang Long Boulevard area, causing public confusion.

The Hanoi Traffic Police Department confirmed that this is false information, without basis, because: The traffic light system operated by the Traffic Police Department is a closed system, strictly secured. Adjusting the light cycle can only be done through the computer at the Traffic Control Center, and cannot be interfered with by external devices.

Fake news spread online

On the other hand, the technical cabinet of the lighting system is reinforced for safety, and only serves for maintenance, repair, and cannot adjust the lighting cycle. Spreading false information not only causes misunderstanding but also affects the work of ensuring traffic order and safety.

Recently, on social networks, there has been a lot of information "attracting views" or quoting, providing one-sided, incomplete information... therefore, when accessing information on social networks, people need to be alert, verify, not post or share false information and choose and follow information from official news agencies and newspapers.

When discovering information with false content or distortion of the truth, it is necessary to immediately report to the authorities for handling according to the provisions of law.
