Con Cuong has 45 km of National Highways running through it, of which National Highway 7 has 31 km and National Highway 48C has 14 km. Accordingly, every year the district allocates from 100 to 150 million VND from the district budget to support regular maintenance of district and commune roads, combined with the work of clearing violations of traffic safety corridors.

Since the beginning of the year, the district has simultaneously carried out the clearance, confiscation and destruction of 245 advertising signs of all kinds; rearranged and relocated 14 car and motorbike washing stations; dismantled 12 temporary tents and booths; and handled 17 construction material gathering points on National Highway 7A through the town, Bong Khe and Chi Khe communes. Along with that, the district has organized the signing of a commitment to re-encroach on traffic safety corridors with violators after the clearance.

At the meeting, the working group acknowledged the participation of the Traffic Safety Committee of Con Cuong district in promptly proposing specific solutions, as well as mobilizing forces to participate in the clearance work. However, after the clearance, scattered in a few locations there was still the situation of re-encroachment to place advertising signs, display goods...

The working group believes that, along with overcoming difficulties in terms of manpower to continue implementing the clearance work, the district needs to promote and reward communes and towns that do well to encourage long-term results and create a routine. Accordingly, it is necessary to further promote the participation of all levels and sectors, the pioneering role of cadres and party members. In addition, it is necessary to attach responsibility to local authorities and traffic management units in the area to promptly inspect and remind as soon as re-encroachment cases are detected.

In addition, it is necessary to promote and expand the model of "Model road section, civilized street section" combining flower planting with traffic safety corridor management from the commune level to some villages currently deployed by political and social organizations, contributing to making the route more beautifully managed, the traffic safety corridor management better, especially in areas with many advantages in tourism, sought by many tourists such as Con Cuong.
