Similarly, at the school gates of some schools such as: Le Mao Primary School (Dinh Cong Trang Street); Dang Thai Mai Secondary School (Le Hoan Street)..., when the school bell just ended, the whole area in front of the school gate was almost congested. Students riding electric bicycles, electric scooters and even motorbikes rushed out, blocking the road. On both sides of the sidewalk, parents riding motorbikes, along with many cars parked on the road, causing congestion and disorder in traffic safety. |

It can be seen that traffic congestion in front of school gates is primarily due to the limited awareness and traffic culture of students and many parents. “Nowadays, students are exposed to the Road Traffic Law from a very early age, however, they lack awareness when participating in traffic, which leads to knowing the law but not obeying it. They often make mistakes such as: riding side by side, clinging to each other, not controlling their speed, not observing, not obeying traffic lights...” - Mr. Vo Minh Duc - Chief of Office of the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee said. |

To solve the problems of traffic safety at school gates, in addition to the efforts of the school and the authorities, parents need to change the habit of stopping, parking, and turning around in the wrong places and regularly pay attention to and remind their children to comply with traffic rules. Only then can we raise students' awareness when participating in traffic, limit traffic congestion in front of the school gate as well as reduce traffic accidents. |
