Strengthening the work of ensuring traffic order and safety in the province

(Baonghean.vn)-On April 25, the Provincial People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 08/CD-UBND-NC to provincial departments, branches, sectors, unions, and People's Committees of districts and cities on strengthening the work of ensuring traffic order and safety in the province.

The telegram contains the following content:

In the first quarter of 2014, all levels and sectors have made great efforts in directing and implementing synchronous and comprehensive solutions to ensure traffic safety and order, contributing to reducing traffic accidents in all three criteria compared to the same period last year. However, the traffic safety and order situation is still complicated, although traffic accidents have decreased, they are still at a high level.

The main reason is that the leadership and direction of the implementation of the task of ensuring traffic order and safety in some localities and units is not regular and resolute, and the combined strength of the entire political system has not been fully mobilized in the work of ensuring traffic order and safety; the dissemination of laws has not been implemented synchronously and widely to all classes of people; the awareness of self-consciousness in complying with traffic order and safety laws of traffic participants is still limited; the patrol, control and handling of violations have not been focused and resolute, and have not been timely in preventing violations; the mobilization of the communal police to participate in coordinating the handling of traffic safety violations has not been consistent and is still limited; violations of traffic order and safety laws still occur frequently, especially violations in the field of passenger and cargo transportation in the area; Vehicles that run illegally, not on the right lane or route, stop and pick up passengers in the wrong places, carry goods, flammable and explosive substances on passenger vehicles; oversized and overloaded vehicles, farm vehicles, and homemade motor vehicles commonly operating on some key routes and areas...
