Fearful of cyclos carrying goods in Vinh City

(Baonghean.vn) -Going around the major roads in Vinh city, it is not difficult to see people carrying, pulling, and pushing each other when transporting bulky and oversized materials, which is unsightly and potentially dangerous for road users.

Right in front of Vinh Bus Station, where traffic is heavy, a cyclo driver alone struggles with sharp corrugated iron sheets rolled up with thin rubber bands.

Thanks to a man on a motorbike pushing a cyclo carrying all kinds of goods of different lengths, including aluminum bars, iron bars, sharp mica sheets... rushing down Tran Phu street...

... and quickly passed another cyclo, even though there were many other vehicles on the road.

At the QK4 gas station intersection, this man was preparing to cross the street with a bulky ladder on his shoulder and seemed like he could lose his balance at any moment.

At steel material warehouses, there are always cyclos waiting to transport goods when customers call.

They loaded iron and steel bars onto the truck carelessly, without covering the top, and swaggered onto the road without any methods to warn other road users of the oversized cargo.

Not only cyclos and three-wheelers, but also rickshaws pulled by motorbikes carrying iron and steel running at high speed make many road users afraid.

According to Article 8, Decree 46 on administrative sanctions in the field of road and railway traffic, drivers of bicycles, motorbikes, and light vehicles who load goods beyond the prescribed limit without ensuring traffic safety will be fined from 60,000 VND to 80,000 VND. However, it is possible that the authorities have not handled the situation seriously or the fine is not strong enough to deter, so scenes like this in Vinh City are very common.
