This system is installed in the area in front of 18 Ton Duc Thang Street, District 1, to help pedestrians easily recognize the crossing location and stop at the correct location when waiting to cross the street.
The system includes pedestrian signal lights and roadside warning lights, arranged on the sidewalk and parallel to the curb on both sides of the crosswalk. The lamp posts have buttons for pedestrians to actively activate, helping to change the light status from yellow to green for pedestrians and red for vehicles.
The system works as follows: When a pedestrian presses the button, the traffic light changes from yellow to green for about 30 seconds to warn vehicles to prepare to stop, while the pedestrian light turns red. Then, the main vehicle light turns yellow for 3 seconds and then red for about 20 seconds, while the pedestrian light turns green to allow them to cross the road safely. When the cycle ends, the vehicle light turns flashing yellow, and the pedestrian warning light turns off.
In addition, Ho Chi Minh City has also deployed red reflective paint at complex traffic points near schools to increase visibility and safety. More than 70 locations in front of primary and secondary schools have been painted with reflective paint, signs, solar-powered flashing lights, and anti-slip solutions such as self-locking bricks to limit accidents.
The city also focuses on traffic safety at schools, by painting red reflective paint on road markings, installing median barriers and increasing enforcement of illegally parked vehicles to avoid congestion.
