Phase 2 of the campaign to clear traffic safety corridors was launched by the district.Quynh Luufrom October 26 to December 30, 2017.The district will implement the signing of a coordination program between the district, communes, towns and road management units, BOT, with the motto of setting up markers as the clearance is completed, handing over to the authorities to prevent re-encroachment, striving to complete the clearance for traffic safety before December 30, 2017.

National Highway 1A, the section passing through Quynh Hau commune, is nearly 2 km long with more than 125 households, of which about 50% have kiosks and shops with advertising signs. Therefore, the situation of occupying sidewalks and placing advertising signs in violation of regulations occurs frequently.

In the first phase, Quynh Hau did a good job of propaganda so most of the people voluntarily dismantled their constructions and properties to return the corridor to the road. However, there were still some households that deliberately resisted and repeatedly re-encroached.

In the second phase, the commune mobilized a force of nearly 100 people including commune officials, the Fatherland Front, organizations, military police forces, secretaries, hamlet chiefs of 12 hamlets, along with machinery and vehicles to resolutely handle violations of re-encroachment, ensuring clear roads and sidewalks, and traffic safety for people to travel.

To achieve the best results, Quynh Luu district has strengthened the direction of localities to organize inspections and punish violators. In which, the police force of communes plays a core role, directly going to each business household to propagate and seriously handle households that deliberately delay in removing advertising signs.

Implementing the district's plan, 100% of communes and towns have mobilized forces and means to crack down on violations. Some communes have had positive changes such as Quynh Hau, Son Hai, Quynh Giang...

Mr. Nguyen Van Quy - Vice Chairman of Quynh Luu District People's Committee said: "This time, the entire political system is mobilized to focus on propaganda and mobilization to raise awareness, become self-conscious in self-dismantling and not re-encroaching on traffic safety corridors. We will conduct a general inspection and review all violations that have been reviewed in the first round but are still deliberately violating, then handle them thoroughly. The time to concentrate forces and deploy synchronously is from September 5 to December 31, 2017."

Phase 1, districtCon Cuong80% of households along both sides of national highways, provincial roads, and district roads signed a commitment not to re-encroach on traffic corridors. However, the total number of households violating in the area is up to 1,382. Among them, Lang Khe commune has 102 households violating, the town has 130 cases, Chau Khe commune has 72 cases. Most of the cases handled are related to advertising signs, canopies, goods, and trees that obstruct the view. Thanks to good propaganda work, most households voluntarily dismantled without being forced, but after a while, they re-encroached.

Therefore, implementing the second campaign, comrade Vi Van Son - Chairman of the District People's Committee requested the Steering Committee and the interdisciplinary team to focus on directing the drastic handling of cases of encroachment and re-encroachment of traffic safety corridors with the motto of handing over to local authorities at commune and town levels and road management agencies to manage, attaching the responsibility of the heads of local Party committees and authorities in managing traffic safety corridors.

During the first 10 days of implementing propaganda and reminding, if households that have signed a commitment do not voluntarily dismantle their houses and kiosks within the clearance area after 10 days, strict enforcement will be applied to houses and kiosks within the clearance area, and encroaching constructions, billboards, and materials will be recovered.

Implementation method: Take National Highway 7 passing through the town as a point; focus on mobilizing and propagating people to voluntarily dismantle, assigning tasks to each relevant department. Especially for the road management unit (Joint Stock Company 495, Trung Tin Company) provide full documents related to traffic safety corridor management to the District People's Committee, communes and towns as a basis for carrying out clearance.

The peak period of enforcement, handling of violations and clearance of encroachment on traffic safety corridors in the entire Con Cuong district took place from November 6 to December 20, 2017.
