Encroachment on road corridors in Nam Dan
(Baonghean) -Recently, at important traffic intersections, especially in the central market area, intersections and crossroads on National Highway 46 running through Nam Dan area, the situation of people trading and encroaching on traffic safety corridors, obstructing traffic participants, has become increasingly common.
The Sa Nam market area, located right next to the intersection between Nam Dan Town and Van Dien Commune, is considered a "hot spot" because of the situation where people openly hold markets on the roadside. Especially, on the days before Tet, buyers and sellers are busier, causing obstacles for people and vehicles when participating in traffic. This is also the main cause of frequent collisions and traffic accidents. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, a traffic participant, said: "I see the situation of people trading on the roadside, causing traffic obstruction, affecting people like us when traveling on the road. I hope that the authorities and sectors will soon have a solution to prevent this situation from happening again."
In addition to the phenomenon of people selling small items spilling onto the road, the situation of re-encroachment on the sidewalk corridor such as: hanging advertising signs, setting up canopies, temporary tents for business that obscure the view also has a significant impact on traffic on this route.
Although in the past time, relevant levels, sectors and the town police have stepped up propaganda and dissemination of laws on traffic safety, reviewed, counted and handled households that deliberately violated, and increased patrols to maintain order during rush hours. However, when the authorities turned away, everything went back to normal. Regarding this issue, Mr. Bui Huu Dong - Head of Nam Dan Town Police said: "From the beginning of the year, the town police have increased inspection and handling of violators, especially those who deliberately encroached on the corridor for trading, and at the same time organized propaganda and education, organized campaigns to collect signs, remove canopies that obscure the view, and handled them to deter and educate people not to encroach on the traffic safety corridor, but it only worked for a short time. In the coming time, especially near Tet, we will resolutely take action to eliminate this situation to restore clear roads and sidewalks."
In order to thoroughly resolve the situation of encroachment and traffic safety violations in this area, the Nam Dan Town government and relevant agencies need to actively and regularly coordinate with more synchronous and drastic solutions. Especially, it is necessary to help people improve their understanding of law compliance, gradually forming the concept of "traffic culture" for everyone to hope to restore order and discipline in traffic safety, and return the roads and sidewalks to a clear and airy state.
