Clam production encroaches on traffic safety corridor on National Highway 1A

(Baonghean.vn) - The production of dashboard tiles in Quynh Van commune, Quynh Luu district (Nghe An) has developed strongly, creating more jobs and income for many people. However, for nearly 10 years, this activity has encroached on the traffic safety corridor on National Highway 1A but has not been completely resolved.

Many dashboard manufacturers encroach on traffic safety corridors and sidewalks on National Highway 1A.

In this area, every time a car pulls over to buy bricks, dozens of porters scramble to load them onto their vehicles, encroaching on the roadside and obstructing the view of passing vehicles. In addition, every day, thousands of dashboard tiles (shells) are spread out on the roadside, causing a significant impact on traffic participants on National Highway 1A.

In addition to encroaching on traffic corridors, clam production activities also cause noise and dust to surrounding households. Mr. Le Van Thanh - Chief of Quynh Van Commune Police, Quynh Luu District said: "The commune police force regularly coordinates with the village police force to remind business households. But many households deliberately let bricks encroach on corridors and roads, and the force faces many difficulties in clearing them."

Quynh Van commune currently has 174 households participating in the production of clamshell bricks with nearly 1,700 workers, 215 molding machines and cement mixers, mainly concentrated in 5 villages with terrain adjacent to National Highway 1A. Most clamshell fields are large in area, close to the road. Currently, the whole commune has about 26 households producing clamshell bricks along National Highway 1A.

Many workers are still waiting to load clams on National Highway 1A - through Quynh Van commune - Quynh Luu - Nghe An.

With the above shortcomings of clam production, many people have submitted petitions, the Commune People's Committee has gone to the production facilities to inspect and make records to handle violators, but it has not been effective. The above situation continues, there have been many traffic accidents, the main cause of which is the chaos from clam production facilities.

The economic benefits that clam production brings to Quynh Van commune are enormous. However, we cannot just for the benefit of households threaten the environment and general traffic safety. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen drastic, thorough and effective measures to reduce environmental pollution and restore traffic safety corridors according to regulations.
