Although not located in the center of Vinh city, Quan Bau ward has many black spots of traffic insecurity that cause frustration for residents, including on National Highway 1A.
Below are images of some traffic black spots in Quan Bau ward, Vinh city, recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters on the afternoon of March 10, 2025.
The most pressing traffic congestion problem in Quan Bau ward is at lane 2 Ngo Gia Tu street.

According to residents' feedback (confirmed by the People's Committee of Quan Bau ward), during the planning phase of the apartment building, there will be an additional exit to Phan Boi Chau street. However, when households move into the apartment building, there is only one exit at lane 2, Ngo Gia Tu street.

Ms. Le Thi Suu said: "These two apartment buildings have about 500 households and a kindergarten, so traffic is very complicated. I think if a fire breaks out, what will we do...". Regarding the People's Committee of Quan Bau Ward, it said that in order to reduce congestion in lane 2 on Ngo Gia Tu Street, the ward has proposed to the People's Committee of Vinh City to install traffic lights and ban left turns by the hour.

Due to the large traffic volume but no traffic lights, drivers always face difficulties and risks of unsafety, especially during rush hours. Therefore, the People's Committee of Quan Bau Ward proposed that the People's Committee of Vinh City consider installing a traffic light system at this intersection.

However, these are two level roads, and the traffic lights often malfunction, posing a safety risk to road users.

When the weather is not sunny, they do not operate stably. Therefore, the People's Committee of Quan Bau Ward has requested the City People's Committee to direct the functional units to renovate and repair.

Frustrated with the traffic insecurity situation, voters in the area have repeatedly expressed their opinions at voter contact meetings of People's Councils at all levels; on the side of the Ward People's Committee, they have also reported to Vinh City People's Committee many times. On February 13, 2025, Quan Bau Ward People's Committee also reviewed black spots that cause traffic insecurity, clarified the causes of their existence to propose a number of solutions to Vinh City People's Committee through Report No. 77/BC-UBND.
