The Traffic Safety Year 2017 focuses on building traffic culture among young people. This year’s campaign targets to raise public awareness of safe traffic culture, particularly among young generations, reduce 5-10 percent of road and railway accidents and at least 5 percent of serious accidents on railway, inland waterway and coaches.
The campaign also aims to prevent traffic jams lasting more than 30 minutes in major cities, particularly in Hanoi and HCM City. 
Addressing the ceremony, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Truong Hoa Binh hailed decreases in the number of traffic accidents, deaths and injuries between 2011 and 2016.
The Deputy PM praised the Party Committee, authorities and people of Hanoi for implementing synchronous, drastic and effective measures to curb traffic accidents.
He asked the National Traffic Safety Committee, ministries, agencies, municipal and provincial authorities to improve the Party leadership and Statement management on ensuring traffic safety and order. 
To ensure safe travelling during the upcoming Tet festival, the Deputy PM required ministries, agencies and local authorities seriously abide by the Prime Minister’s urgent notice on traffic safety and social order maintenance. 
He also asked localities to ensure the safety of traffic infrastructure, especially accident-prone areas on national and local highways and intersections. 
Deputy PM Binh asked the Hanoi municipal authorities to accelerate the progress of key infrastructure projects, including elevated railways and subways; use advanced technology to control traffic, and encourage people to use public transport. 
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung called for the participating of agencies, socio-political organisations and local administration in the effort.
