Traffic density is high, roads are congested at many times, however, at some intersections with traffic lights in Vinh city, even though there are signs indicating right turns, drivers still cannot turn right.
In reality, the traffic system of Vinh city is lacking in uniformity and has shortcomings that need to be overcome.
Below are some images recorded by Nghe An Newspaper reporters, reflecting on these problems.
After a period of upgrading and renovating the traffic system, many roads in Vinh city have been improved, with traffic lights, signs, and painted with no-stopping or parking lines in front of right turns to ensure traffic safety and reduce traffic congestion.

Some intersections have traffic lights but do not have signs or road markings in front of the right turn. This leads to cars parking in long lines in front of the right turn, narrowing the roadway and obstructing traffic. In the photo: Phung Khac Khoan Street seen from Nguyen Phong Sac Street.

The reason is that before this right turn, there is no sign prohibiting stopping or parking, nor is there a lane marking, so there are always many cars stopping and parking.

As in the photo, before the right turn from Tue Tinh street to Nguyen Phong Sac street, there is a no-stopping and parking sign, but there are always cars parked.

This situation shows that a part of traffic participants do not fully understand the legal regulations, or lack awareness of obeying traffic laws; in addition, the inspection and control by the authorities are still inadequate.

However, the handling of the problems is still very slow.
