(Baonghean.vn) - This is not a new problem. Every year, during harvest season, people in some localities erect obstacles on the road, posing a potential risk of traffic accidents.

These days, farmers in the province are harvesting spring rice. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, many households have brought rice and corn out to dry on the streets. Photo: Huy Thu

Along with that, people also bring items, firewood, wood, stones... to the road to act as obstacles, to prevent vehicles from entering the corn and rice drying areas. Photo: Huy Thu

Along National Highway 46C along the Lam River, through Nam Dan and Hung Nguyen districts, it is not difficult to see images of agricultural products drying on the road. Photo: Huy Thu

Just by drying a little corn, people can put firewood, rocks, cement roofing sheets... on the road. Photo: Huy Thu

Bringing items, firewood, rocks... onto the road to create boundaries and keep areas for drying rice and corn poses a potential risk of traffic accidents for people and vehicles on the road. Photo: Huy Thu

Going around the Yen Xuan bridge on the Long Xa commune side (Hung Nguyen), people also dry rice and spread wood and car tires around. This is a road section through a roundabout with a lot of vehicles and people passing by, making it very easy for accidents to happen. Photo: Huy Thu

It seems that people only think about preventing rice and corn from being scattered by passing vehicles, but forget to think that bringing obstacles onto the road is a violation of road traffic safety. Photo: Huy Thu

In many localities, people also bring rice threshing machines, rice fans, and corn threshers to work. On a section of Highway 46C through Hung Linh Commune (Hung Nguyen), people are drying, gathering, and packing rice quite busily. Photo: Huy Thu

On this road, on one side, people are drying rice, on the other side, a carpentry workshop near the road also stretches tarps out onto the road to work, making the road even narrower and more difficult to travel. Photo: Huy Thu

Not only national highways, provincial roads, and district roads, but also village roads are used by people as drying yards on this occasion. What is worrying is that people bring items such as chairs, basins, buckets, signs, wood, etc. to the middle of the road to obstruct traffic.
