(Baonghean.vn) - Every day, in the early morning or late afternoon, the roads around markets in Vinh City turn into bustling buying and selling areas, causing traffic congestion and detracting from urban aesthetics, and this situation continues to occur without being thoroughly addressed by the authorities.
A familiar sight on the streets surrounding markets is vendors encroaching on sidewalks and roads to display their goods, while buyers freely park their vehicles, haggle, and make purchases. The photo was taken on Nguyen Trung Ngan Street, passing through Quan Lau Market, Truong Thi Ward, Vinh City.
People park their vehicles right in the middle of the road to buy goods along Nguyen Trung Ngan Street.
Many vendors even use umbrellas and tarpaulins to encroach on the road and sidewalks for their business.
Pedestrians face significant difficulties when traveling along this route during early morning or late afternoon hours due to the road being encroached upon by vendors.
...and cars often get stuck if they "accidentally" drive in. Some mothers even let their young children sit precariously on motorbikes parked right in the middle of the road while they go into the market to buy groceries.
The road running through the back gate of Hung Dung market is frequently encroached upon during peak hours.
People buy and sell goods along Dinh Le Street behind Hung Dung Market.
Not only do people encroach on the sidewalks to sell their goods, but many also cover the entire road with umbrellas and tarpaulins. This is a common situation at Quang Trung Market.
