“The pilot traffic organization plan for the Hanoi- Hai Phong and Phap Van-Cau Gie expressways will be implemented for one month, starting August 15,” said a leader of the Vietnam Road Administration.

The Department of Roads requested the Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Finance Investment Corporation (VIDIFI) and the Phap Van-Cau Gie BOT Joint Stock Company to paint information on the maximum permitted speed at a number of suitable and easily observable locations to remind the information of the corresponding maximum permitted speed signs on the route to facilitate traffic participants.

In case of maintenance, renovation, upgrading of some construction items, troubleshooting, ... affecting traffic on the highway, temporary installation of speed limit signs for a certain period of time is possible but must be approved by the road management agency.

The Vietnam Road Administration requires the two units managing the above expressway to review and compare the traffic organization plan in terms of scale, road width, number of lanes for vehicles, emergency lanes; road signaling system, road traffic safety works arranged on the main expressway, at intersections with the expressway; toll stations for road use; intelligent traffic system to make adjustments and additions to road signaling. In case it is necessary to adjust or add one or several contents in the traffic organization plan during operation, report to the Administration for consideration and resolution./.
