From May 25, Di An City prohibits cars from entering the central area.

The proposed alternative route includes: To go from Tan Dong Hiep and Tan Binh wards... to the administrative center of Di An city, cars go from DT743A - Nguyen Trai - Road No. 21 - Road No. 6 (Song Than 1 Industrial Park) - Road No. 9 (Di An administrative center).

Route 2 can be chosen from DT 743A - Nguyen Trai - Ly Thuong Kiet - Nguyen An Ninh - Di An administrative center.

Route 3 is DT 743A - Hai Ba Trung - Vo Thi Sau - GS1 - Nguyen An Ninh - administrative center of Di An city.

Route 4 is DT743A - Hai Ba Trung - Tran Hung Dao - Tran Quoc Toan - Nguyen An Ninh - Di An administrative center.

After one day of implementation, some residents disagreed with the above regulation. Mr. MVH (a resident who often travels through these roads) said that the issuance of this regulation is unreasonable because the traffic density through this area is not as serious as in some other areas in Binh Duong province.

Mr. H. believes that Binh Duong has not yet reached the point where traffic congestion is so severe that it requires a regulation banning cars from entering the central area.

In addition, alternative routes are also not feasible because they have to go around many residential areas and through narrow roads where traffic jams often occur.

Di An Primary School is located on a road where cars are prohibited from traffic.

Meanwhile, Ms. NNL (whose child studies at an elementary school located on the prohibited road) said that this area has a school, market, train station... so during rush hour, traffic density is high, often congested, especially when cars turn around or when trains pass by, there will be a long traffic jam, so the authorities prohibit cars from entering.

According to the reporter's investigation, the issuance of the above regulation was advised by the Urban Management Department to the Traffic Safety Committee of Di An City, and received opinions from the front and people.
