On May 28, in Nam Dan district, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union, the National Traffic Safety Committee coordinated with the Provincial Farmers' Union and the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee to organize a dialogue conference on "Strengthening traffic safety and order in rural areas" in 2024.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, comrade Vu Quoc Huy - Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Social Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Farmers' Union stated: Currently, in some rural areas, the awareness of traffic law compliance of some people is still limited, and violations of traffic safety regulations are still common.

Rural traffic accidents are a worrying issue. Violations of road safety corridors, encroachment on sidewalks and roadsides, and the use of road motor vehicles that do not meet traffic conditions are still occurring, posing potential risks to traffic safety.

In Nghe An, in the first 5 months of 2024, there were 174 traffic accidents in the area; killing 101 people and injuring 111 people. Particularly, traffic accidents related to inter-commune and inter-district roads in rural areas, there were 22 cases, killing 15 people and injuring 17 people.

Reality shows that the road traffic infrastructure system is still inadequate, substandard, and cannot really meet the increasing number of vehicles participating in traffic.

In addition, people's awareness when participating in traffic is still limited; propaganda, dissemination and education of laws on traffic safety and order are still heavily formal, mainly calling for, cheering, encouraging and motivating, without paying attention to communication with the goal of changing awareness and behavior in traffic participation.

At the dialogue conference, opinions focused on a group of issues: The current situation of rural traffic, people's concerns in the process of implementing the Party's policies and the State's laws on traffic safety, especially the Road Traffic Law...
