The Traffic Police Department has directed local traffic police to strengthen traffic guidance, regulation,
and inter-provincial coordination to ensure smooth traffic.
In particular, the Traffic Police of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City proactively coordinate with neighboring provinces
to ensure smooth traffic on routes in and out of the city, especially routes from Hanoi to the southern provinces
and from Ho Chi Minh City to the western provinces. Thanks to this effort, despite the increase in traffic volume,
traffic was still orderly, safe and without congestion.
On January 29 and 30 (the first and second days of Tet), the streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City were
deserted and clear, with vehicles moving smoothly. Despite the sparse number of vehicles, road users still
strictly complied with the law on traffic order and safety./.
