Speaking at the workshop, Vice Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Committee Khuat Viet Hung said that in the past few years, with the efforts of agencies and units throughout the country, Vietnam has witnessed positive changes in traffic order and safety.
It is most noticeable that the number of traffic accidents has decreased in all three categories: the number of accidents, the number of deaths and the number of injured people, Hung added.
However, he affirmed that there has not yet a comprehensive model to develop a traffic safety plan at provincial level, and that is the reason South Korea’s Ministry of Infrastructure, Land and Transport and South Korea’s leading transportation experts want to develop a comprehensive plan to ensure road safety in Hanoi.
Hung noted that after more than a year with numerous efforts, overcoming the challenges, the team of experts have set a target that deaths in traffic accidents in 2022 will decrease by 20% compared to 2016.
Hung said the assessment showed that South Korean experts have thoroughly studied Hanoi’s traffic safety situation.
The research team has identified key groups to ensure Hanoi’s traffic safety such as infrastructure, environment for traffic safety, issues of education, enhancing transport managers’ capability, Hung stressed.
In the framework of the workshop, South Korea’s experts made presentations on road traffic in Vietnam in general and in Hanoi in particular, as well as offered many basic measures to improve management for Hanoi’s road traffic safety.
