Regarding the Law on Order project,traffic safetyRoad, opinions say that traffic safety, traffic infrastructure and road transport are very large fields, with different regulatory objects, but are regulated in the same law, leading to the inability to fully and clearly regulate many important contents in each field, and many sub-law documents must be issued to guide implementation.

The current Road Traffic Law 2008 regulates two different areas at the same time, including: Traffic safety; traffic infrastructure and road transport. These are two large areas with different objectives, but are regulated in the same law, leading to incomplete and unclear regulations, and many important contents requiring the issuance of many sub-law documents. Through reference, no country has issued a Road Traffic Law that includes the fields of traffic safety, infrastructure and road transport... Therefore, the issuance of the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety is necessary, an inevitable, objective and urgent requirement of practice, in accordance with the law of development.

Accordingly, Major General Pham The Tung stated that, on the basis of fully absorbing and carefully studying the opinions of the delegates at the Workshop, he will synthesize the report and advise the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security to direct the completion of the draft Law on Forces Participating in Protecting Security and Order at the Grassroots Level and the draft Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety to submit to the National Assembly at the next session.
