Nghe An launches campaign to clear traffic safety corridors for Lunar New Year 2019
(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of January 10, the Provincial People's Committee held a launching ceremony to implement the Traffic Safety Year and clear traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks in 2019.
The launching ceremony of the 2019 Traffic Safety Year was held with the theme “Traffic safety for passengers and motorcyclists”. In Nghe An, in recent years, although the number of traffic accidents has continuously decreased, it has not been truly sustainable.

Although the encroachment of traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks has been implemented drastically and strongly, it has not yet met the set requirements; the encroachment and re-encroachment of traffic safety corridors causes congestion, obstructs traffic and spoils the urban beauty.

To establish order and discipline right from the first days of 2019 and create a safe and healthy atmosphere for the people to celebrate Tet, speaking at the launching ceremony, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien requested all levels and sectors to focus on synchronous and drastic direction of solutions to continue striving to reduce traffic accidents on all three criteria: number of cases, number of deaths and number of injuries.
In addition, all levels, sectors, units and localities are determined to effectively implement Resolution No. 56/NQ - Provincial People's Council, Plan No. 136/KH - UBND dated March 17, 2017 of the Provincial People's Committee on clearing violations of traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks right from the beginning of the year and continuously throughout 2019.

Immediately after the ceremony, he also requested all localities to simultaneously mobilize forces to clear traffic safety corridors, and renovate urban areas to ensure clear roads and sidewalks. Patrol and inspection forces must mobilize maximum forces and strictly handle violations of traffic safety laws, especially drivers who violate regulations on alcohol concentration and drivers who use drugs.
