At the same time, urge agencies and units, within their scope and responsibility, to review traffic safety infrastructure on national highways and expressways; in case of detecting damage or deterioration that poses a risk to traffic safety, develop a plan and propose to the competent authority to allocate funds for handling the issues in accordance with regulations.
In addition, the Ministry of Transport has also sent a document to the People's Committees of provinces and cities, and the Vietnam Road Administration regarding the comprehensive review of traffic accident hotspots, potential accident locations, and traffic organization irregularities on the road system under their management. Based on this, they will develop plans, schedules, and timelines for addressing and rectifying these issues; and organize the rectification of traffic organization shortcomings upon the recommendation of relevant agencies and organizations.
