Ensuring traffic safety and order in the province during the April 30 holiday

(Baonghean.vn) - On April 8, 2015, Nghe An Provincial People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 04/CD-UBND-NC on serving people's travel needs and ensuring traffic order and safety in the province during the holidays of April 30 and May 0, 2015. The content is as follows:

In recent times, all levels and sectors have made great efforts in directing and implementing synchronous solutions to ensure traffic safety and order, contributing to reducing traffic accidents in all three criteria compared to the same period last year. However, the traffic safety and order situation is still complicated, although traffic accidents have decreased, they are still at a high level.

The main reason is that the leadership and direction of the implementation of the task of ensuring traffic order and safety in some localities and units is not regular, not resolute, and has not mobilized the maximum combined strength of the entire political system in the work of ensuring traffic order and safety; the work of disseminating and popularizing the law has not been implemented synchronously and widely to all classes of people, the awareness of self-consciousness in complying with the law on traffic order and safety of traffic participants is still limited; the work of patrolling, controlling and handling violations has not been focused and determined, not promptly preventing violations, the mobilization of communal police to participate in coordinating the handling of traffic safety violations is not synchronous and limited; violations of the law on traffic order and safety still occur frequently, especially violations in the field of passenger and cargo transportation in the area; vehicles run illegally, not in the right lane, stop, park, pick up and drop off passengers at the wrong places; Oversized and overloaded vehicles, farm vehicles, and homemade motor vehicles still operate on some roads...
