According to the City Police Department, during the 3 days from April 17 to April 19, 2017, the City Traffic Police Department and the City Traffic Police Department patrolled all routes and central areas where vehicles often stop and park illegally, causing traffic obstruction.

Accordingly, 153 tickets were issued for illegal parking on the sidewalk with a fine of 700,000 VND/vehicle. Many cases of cars violating the law but the owners were not present when the authorities handled the case were sealed and towed away for processing.

Vinh city authorities also drew up 39 violation records for motorbikes and imposed administrative fines on the spot with a fine of 150,000 VND/motorbike.

According to Mr. Tran Dinh Tuan, Deputy Captain of the Traffic Police of Vinh City, said: "After 3 days of patrolling all the roads and restoring order on the sidewalks, the awareness of the people in the area has changed a lot, but the situation has only improved but not completely. Specifically, on April 19, the police force still discovered and recorded nearly a dozen vehicles parked illegally on Le Nin, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Truong Thi, Phan Dang Luu streets...

Mr. Tuan said that when being handled by the authorities, most people make up excuses for their actions, but when explained, the car owners all comply.
