Through discussion, the representative of the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee said: Following the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, localities have simultaneously launched a campaign to clear traffic safety corridors over the past month, recording many positive results. However, there are still cases of re-occupation when there is no presence of functional forces in some localities. From December 23rd of the lunar calendar to Tet, people's purchasing power is at its highest in the year, so localities continue to maintain forces to conduct inspections and strictly handle acts of re-occupation of sidewalks, affecting traffic and urban aesthetics so that people can celebrate Tet and enjoy Spring safely.
