After more than a month of implementing Decree 168/ND-CP on administrative sanctions for road traffic violations, traffic order and safety in Nghe An province has had positive changes. People's awareness of obeying traffic laws has been raised, traffic accidents have decreased in all three criteria. This contributes to creating a safer and more civilized traffic environment.
After more than a month of implementing Decree 168/ND-CP of the Government (from January 1, 2025 to present), it is easy to see that people's awareness of obeying traffic laws has been significantly improved. People are increasingly voluntarily complying with regulations, even when there is no presence of traffic police.

They not only strictly follow traffic rules, but also proactively remind and encourage their friends to follow the law, from walking, cycling to using motorbikes.

Mr. Ngo Quang Anh, residing in Le Loi ward, Vinh city, shared: "In the past, when I saw a few seconds left of the green light, I often hastily accelerated to pass. But now I always strictly obey and stop at the right line. Not only me, but people's awareness has also changed significantly. In the past, many drivers were quite subjective, but now everyone is more careful. In my opinion, although the fines of Decree 168 are high, it is necessary to create a safe traffic environment, protecting yourself and everyone around you."

This improvement not only makes travel more convenient but also contributes to reducing stress and time loss for traffic participants.
