Through the actual inspection, the provincial traffic safety corridor clearance inspection team highly appreciated the implementation of the Traffic Safety Committee of Yen Thanh district. At the same time, it was noted that currently in My Thanh, Tang Thanh communes, towns,... there is still a situation of re-encroachment on traffic corridors to place signs, billboards, fixed roofs, along with gathering goods.

Notably, in My Thanh commune, there is still a situation where a private enterprise is using traffic corridor land to build factories and store machinery. The incident has been going on for a long time but has not been resolved.

In addition, with a length of more than 130 km of national and provincial highways in Yen Thanh district, they have just been upgraded and recognized, so there are currently many cases where land of individuals and organizations is located within the road boundary.

The working group requested that the District Traffic Safety Committee coordinate with local traffic management units such as CTGT Construction and Management Joint Stock Company 487, Road Management Sub-Department II, VHT Construction and Management Company, Nghe An Waterway and Road Traffic Construction and Management Joint Stock Company to inspect and handle after clearance, and prevent re-encroachment.

For cases where there are current housing projects located in traffic corridor land, due to upgrading from district roads to provincial roads (538C, 538, 538D, 538E, 537), provincial roads to national highways (National Highway 7B, National Highway 48E), the district needs to review, count, and determine the boundaries between the land of households, individuals, agencies, units and the land of the road along both sides of the route, to promptly report for handling.
