(Baonghean.vn) – On the total 95.5km length of the North-South railway running through 7 districts and towns of Nghe An province, there are 233 intersections between roads and railways. Alarmingly, there are still 15/51horizontal linenot yetAutomatic barriers and warning signs,182 residential roadno effective defense measures.
 |
| Hundreds of residential roads in the districts and towns of Vinh, Hoang Mai, Quynh Luu, Dien Chau, Nghi Loc, Vinh, Hung Nguyen and Nam Dan have no protective measures, posing a potential risk of traffic accidents. There are railway sections running through residential areas, without access roads, so people have to participate in traffic while avoiding trains (Photo taken at the railway section running through block 11, Dong Vinh Ward, Vinh City) |
 |
| There are still many intersections between the level crossing and the railway without barriers, the lights and signs are old and blurred; difficult to observe when crossing the road (Photo taken at Hamlet 18B, Nghi Kim, Vinh City) |
 |
| At the My Ly crossroads intersection (Dien An, Dien Chau), although there are barriers and traffic lights, the corridor between the road and the railway is narrow; the height difference between the road and the railway is quite large, so accidents can easily happen to vehicles traveling on National Highway 1A. |
 |
| Most of the road surfaces at intersections between residential roads and railways are still covered with gravel, making them bumpy, causing motorbikes and bicycles to get stuck; many fatal accidents have occurred due to this cause. |
 |
Intersections where the main road is also the entrance to a residential house like this are even scarier...
 | | To get in and out of this house, you have to cross the railway. The intersection between the road and the railway has not been repaired yet, so it is bumpy, difficult to pass, increasing the risk of accidents. (Photo taken at the foot of the overpass in Nghi Kim commune, Vinh city). |

 |
| While waiting for solutions to ensure safety at railway crossings and residential roads from the authorities, the lives of households living next to railways like this still live with potential dangers... |
