Only about 1 month to go until Lunar New Year 2020, but along National Highway 1A section through Hoang Mai town, we have recorded that the situation of encroachment on traffic safety corridors is still complicated. Most common at market places right next to the national highway. Photo: PV (photo taken on December 30, 2019). |

In Cau Giat town, the situation of households selling goods openly encroaching on the traffic safety corridor is happening openly. In block 5, motorbikes are arranged on the sidewalk to sell. Or, many advertising signs are also brought out by people in block 7 to place on the traffic corridor. |

There are sections of corridors that are clear and convenient for pedestrians, but the manhole system has collapsed dozens of meters, so people can only walk on the road. Photo taken near Quynh Van gas station (Quynh Luu) on National Highway 1A. Photo: PV |

It is known that Quynh Luu and Hoang Mai town have National Highway 1A passing through 2 localities about 30 km and Provincial Highway 537B and National Highways 48B and 48D... Although in recent times, localities have drastically launched campaigns to clear violations of traffic safety corridors, the handling of violations is still not enough to deter. Photo: PV |
