| Some families even put a no-entry sign on the tree trunk in front of their house. This is completely out of their authority, because according to Article 37 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law, only the People's Committee at the provincial level or higher has the authority to organize traffic on road systems under their management. This includes the authority to regulate prohibited roads, one-way roads, prohibited stopping and parking areas; prohibited U-turns; and installation of road signs. Photo: D.N |

| Even the no parking sign was written on the street by a resident on Xieng Khouang Street, near the Quan Banh overpass. The purpose of this is known to everyone, because they want the front door of their house to be airy, and then they use the excuse of having a business premises, having to rent, having to pay taxes... And in reality, there have been many arguments between the person who parked the car and the homeowner, the person who put up the no parking sign when he stopped and parked his car was quickly reminded, even said unpleasant words, and then chased away because he was thought to not comply with the no parking sign that the resident had arbitrarily placed.

For the purposes mentioned above, many homeowners and shop owners also place obstacles right on the sidewalks and roads. (In the photo: A household on Tong Duy Tan Street, Ha Huy Tap Ward, places rocks to prevent parking). Photo: D.N |

A business on Le Mao Street extended even put potted plants and rotten wood right on the road with the purpose of not allowing parking. A car driver wondered, on a road with no parking lot, no signs prohibiting stopping or parking, if you don't park on the sidewalk or road, then where? If every house on the street arbitrarily puts up signs prohibiting parking, obstacles, and then chases them away, where will car drivers park? Photo: D.N |

Sidewalks and roads are public property managed by the State. People placing signs and obstacles prohibiting parking on their own is wrong, not within their authority, has no legal value, causes loss of urban beauty, and even poses a potential risk to traffic safety... Therefore, functional forces and local authorities need to check, remind, and handle promptly, avoiding cases where they give themselves the right to set rules. (In the photo: People on Le Mao extended street place barricades with cone-shaped markers identical to those of functional forces on duty). Photo: D.N |

However, to avoid unfortunate incidents, drivers should park their vehicles in a way that does not affect the traffic of other vehicles and the travel and business of people near the parking area. If possible, leave a phone number for others to contact when needed, to avoid unnecessary incidents. For homeowners who are obstructed by parked cars, they should tactfully remind them, "choose your words carefully to please each other", or report to the authorities to handle the case if the car is parked illegally. They should not obstruct, insult, or damage the vehicle, leading to violations of the law.
