Quynh Luu: Resolutely and strictly handle re-encroachment of traffic safety corridors

(Baonghean.vn) - Implementing the telegram No. 35/CD-UBND dated December 25, 2014 of the Provincial People's Committee on strengthening the work of clearing encroachment on traffic safety corridors and urban sidewalks, on January 10, 2015, Quynh Luu district simultaneously launched a campaign to clear traffic safety corridors. However, not long after that, many households living along national and provincial highways re-encroached on traffic safety corridors, causing disorder and disturbing urban beauty.

Authorities are in the process of clearing the area.

During the campaign to clear the traffic safety corridor, the Traffic Safety Committee of Quynh Luu district coordinated with Cau Giat town to inspect and handle cases of encroachment on the traffic safety corridor. On the first day of the campaign, the Traffic Safety Committee of the district discovered and handled many households in Cau Giat town living along National Highway 1A who encroached on the traffic safety corridor. Through the inspection, the participating forces reminded and made records of households violating the law by dumping construction materials and parking vehicles on the roadside, and at the same time removed tents and billboards that obstructed the view of passersby.

For households that have acted in opposition and violated many times, the clearance force has confiscated tents, billboards and made a record of fines. Along with that, Cau Giat town also organized a signing of commitments with 550 households doing business along the two roads. However, the compliance with traffic safety laws of some households living along National Highway 1A is being done in a perfunctory manner, not complying. After a short time, things went back to normal, many households continued to display advertising signs, bring items and vehicles for sale right on the traffic safety corridor, encroaching on the roadway, causing disorder and insecurity. Mr. Dau Van Cuong - Cau Giat town police said: "Currently in Cau Giat town, some households doing business and trading occupy the roadway and sidewalk, encroaching on the traffic safety corridor. The town People's Committee signed commitments several times, but after 1 day, people immediately set up their stalls to do business again. We will resolutely clear the area to facilitate people's travel."

People encroach on the road and sidewalks to do business, causing traffic safety problems.

Quynh Luu has National Highway 1A, National Highway 48B and Provincial Road 537B passing through the area. Taking advantage of this problem, households living along the two routes have arbitrarily hung signs, displayed machinery, equipment, and vehicles right on the traffic safety corridor for trading. When they saw the authorities coming to inspect, some households agreed to dismantle them and promised not to repeat the offense. However, not long after that, people continued to encroach. In order to resolutely handle violations and encroachment on the traffic safety corridor, Quynh Luu District Traffic Police have organized inspections. Coordinated with local authorities with key routes to remind households and sign commitments not to repeat the offense.

Through the above inspection and handling, Quynh Luu District Traffic Police seized 21 billboards, 14 sets of tables and chairs, 6 beds, 3 motorbikes, and demolished 3 barriers. 36 cases of fruit display and sale were warned right at the market area of ​​the town intersection. Major Ho Khac Duong - Deputy Head of the Quynh Luu District Traffic Police Team added: "In response to the year of Traffic Safety, Quynh Luu District Police have simultaneously launched a campaign to inspect and strictly handle households that take advantage of the situation to encroach on the sidewalk traffic corridor. Through the inspection, we have discovered and strictly handled cases of encroachment on the traffic safety corridor and have reminded to withdraw a number of signs and advertisements on the sidewalk that violate traffic order regulations. To ensure traffic safety before, during and after the Lunar New Year, we continue to work with relevant agencies to resolutely handle households that violate the regulations."

To ensure traffic safety for people and vehicles when participating in traffic on the roads safely and conveniently, above all, each resident living along both sides of the road must raise their sense of responsibility and comply with traffic safety laws. There must be no acts of re-occupying traffic safety corridors that cause disorder and disrupt urban beauty./.
