Regarding the roads within Hung Loc commune, the delegation noted numerous instances of encroachment on traffic safety corridors, detracting from urban aesthetics, especially in areas with businesses. During a meeting with the Hung Loc Commune People's Committee, the inter-agency delegation requested that the commune implement solutions to definitively resolve the encroachments at the intersection of Tran Trung Quang road in front of Coi market. This is a persistent problem of encroachment and re-encroachment on traffic safety corridors that has remained unresolved for a long time.

Mr. Phan Huy Chuong - Head of the delegation - requested the functional forces of the Hung Loc Commune People's Committee to inspect, rectify, and strictly handle organizations and individuals violating regulations by encroaching on sidewalks and traffic safety corridors in the area.

In Hung Dung ward, inspections revealed several areas of encroachment that need to be addressed. Particular attention should be paid to streets such as Nguyen Sy Sach, Tue Tinh, the kiosks and shops in front of Hung Dung market, the intersection of Nguyen Phong Sac, Ngo Quyen, and Tue Tinh streets… where many businesses display goods spilling onto sidewalks and walkways, especially service businesses such as car washes, building materials, and ceramics…

As for Ben Thuy ward, the delegation noted that the handling of violations involving encroachment on traffic safety corridors in the area was carried out well, with many roads free from encroachment.
