Eat and see the pot, sit and see the direction...

Last week, the video clip “Putting up no-parking signs: Many Vinh city residents set their own rules” on Nghe An Newspaper attracted many views. This clip was even widely shared by social network users on their personal Facebook and Zalo pages.

The reason for this is that in recent years, when the "growth" rate of personal and family cars in Nghe An, especially in Vinh city, has reached a very high level, the inner-city traffic routes have become "suffocating and difficult to breathe"; finding parking spots on the streets has therefore become difficult, becoming a difficult problem, leading to frustration.

On social networks, after watching the clip "Putting up no parking signs: Many Vinh city residents set their own rules" recording arguments and all kinds of no parking signs, obstacles that prevent cars from parking in front of houses, business kiosks, trading stores..., many people complained, even expressed anger and frustration. As Facebook account Kim Luu reported: "There was a day when I took my sister to 3/2 street to look at bricks, parked on the street, then her mother yelled at me, and it was unreasonable that from the house to the street, the sidewalk was as wide as a kilometer, did I park right next to their door?" Then, Facebook account Hong Lien responded with no less indignation: “I parked my car in front of the bank on Tran Phu street to have breakfast and was scolded by the security guard to chase me away. Then I asked you to show me where the no stopping and no parking signs were, then I will chase you away, otherwise you will show me the land title for this place, and if you show me the land title, I will take it all the way out to the street, then I will chase you away. Then I cursed your whole family as uneducated. And I was rude to all three of your families.”

Affirming that the arbitrary installation of no-parking signs or placing obstacles on the roadside to prevent parking by some organizations, households, and individuals is a violation of the law. This has also been informed quite specifically in the clip "Erecting no-parking signs: Many Vinh city residents set their own rules". That is, according to the provisions of Article 37 of the Road Traffic Law, only the provincial People's Committee has the authority to organize traffic on the roads under its management. This includes prohibited roads; one-way roads; places where stopping, parking, or U-turns are prohibited; or placing road signs... Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the regulations, and should listen to the recommendations of government representatives, traffic police... in the clip "No Parking Signs: Many Vinh City Residents Set Their Own Rules”.

It is necessary to add that for those who drive cars and need to park on inner-city roads. In urban areas of our country, taking advantage of the frontage for business has brought great contributions to the economy. Vinh City is no exception, the annual budget revenue cannot lack this contribution. In addition, to have a frontage space to organize business, units, enterprises, households and individuals participating in business also have to pay monthly and annual rents with a not small amount of money. For families with houses on the street, even though they may not do business, they have the right according to the law to ensure convenient access. In reality, it is not uncommon to see individuals parking and parking very carelessly. Cars are parked and occupy the entire walkway, parked for a very long time, really affecting the business space, living space of related units, organizations, households and individuals.

Therefore, we should not arbitrarily put up no-parking signs or place obstacles on the roadside, which could lead to violations of the law. However, with the current urban traffic situation, we would like to request that managers pay attention and propose solutions to resolve the issue. In addition, we would like to send a message to those who drive cars to be aware of stopping, parking, and parking their vehicles. It is absolutely not advisable to stop, park, or park a car and have unpleasant events happen. Our ancestors used to say, "When eating, look at the pot, when sitting, look at the direction," which is why!
