Vinh City handles "black spot" at the intersection of Nguyen Sy Sach Street - Lenin Avenue

(Baonghean) - On March 20, the Nghe An newspaper hotline reported that people at the intersection between Lenin Avenue and Nguyen Sy Sach Street (in front of the Veterinary Animal Husbandry Station) were reporting a traffic black spot. In the past 3 months alone, there have been many serious accidents...

In response to the issue raised by the newspaper, on March 22, Vinh City People's Committee issued Document No. 865/UBND-VP assigning the task to the Chief of Vinh City Police to inspect and handle. Based on the results of the inspection and review, Vinh City People's Committee issued Document No. 963/UBND dated March 29 stating the cause of the accident at this black spot and the handling plan as follows:

The intersection between Lenin Avenue and Nguyen Sy Sach Street has a high density of traffic and is complicated. In 2011, there were 3 serious traffic accidents in this area. The cause was due to motorcyclists not complying with traffic laws, not paying attention, and driving in the wrong lane when changing direction. In addition, although there are traffic lights installed at this intersection, the two sides of the median strip near the intersection are planted with tall trees, limiting the visibility of traffic participants.

Identifying this as a complex traffic intersection, in 2012, Vinh City Police deployed forces to guide traffic, inspect and handle violations, and at the same time Vinh City People's Committee directed relevant units to replace trees so as not to limit visibility. Therefore, in recent times, traffic safety at this intersection has improved, traffic accidents have decreased. Vinh City People's Committee directed Vinh City Police in the coming time to continue to maintain guidance to ensure traffic safety; inspect, handle violations and prevent accidents at this intersection.
