Regarding traffic congestion, in the first two months of 2017, ministries, sectors and localities have concentrated on implementing many solutions to reduce traffic jams on major transport axes, in urban areas, especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Addressing the conference, Vice Chairman of the Viet Nam National Safety Traffic Committee Khuat Viet Hung said that the falling trend was unsustainable and traffic accident losses were still big. Congestion in crowded urban areas and key national roads remained a big problem threatening traffic order and safety, especially in big cities due to there has been no regulation stipulating the leaders’ responsibility and traffic police who are in duty to keep traffic safety. Moreover, some traffic police officers committed corruption to tolerate violations.
