Road transport plays an important role in the Vietnamese economy, connecting provinces and regions and promoting socio-economic development. Recently, many prominent issues related to traffic safety, road infrastructure, vehicle management, and transportation policies have been discussed. On March 4, 2025, many important news related to this field were updated.

 

2. Traffic accident situation

2.1. Traffic accident statistics on March 4, 2025

According to the report of the National Traffic Safety Committee, on March 4, 2025, there were 64 traffic accidents nationwide, killing 30 people and injuring 47 people. Compared to the same period last year, the number of accidents tended to decrease slightly, but the number of deaths remained high.

 

2.2. Main causes of accidents

The main causes of traffic accidents include:

 

Violating the prescribed speed, not keeping a safe distance.

Driving under the influence of alcohol.

Running red lights, driving in the wrong lane.

Vehicles not meeting technical safety standards.

2.3. Solutions to reduce traffic accidents

The Ministry of Transport is coordinating with the Traffic Police to:

 

Tighten alcohol testing for drivers.

Deploy traffic safety propaganda campaigns.

Improve the quality of road infrastructure to minimize risks.

3. Changes in driving license issuance policy

3.1. The Ministry of Public Security takes over testing

From March 1, 2025, the Ministry of Public Security officially takes over testing and issuing driving licenses from the Departments of Transport according to Circular No. 12/2025/TT-BCA. This is a step to improve management efficiency and ensure a stricter driving license issuance process.

 

3.2. Notable changes

Improving testing standards: The number of theoretical questions in the test has increased, requiring higher accuracy.

 

Applying technology to testing: Deploying software to simulate real-life situations to assess candidates' ability to handle.

 

International driving license issuance process: The procedure for issuing international driving licenses has been simplified, making it easier for people to use when going abroad.

 

4. Handling of shortcomings in traffic organization

 

4.1. Issues to be overcome

Traffic congestion, encroachment on roads, and shortcomings in traffic flow organization are still common in many localities. Some traffic hotspots such as:

 

The Nguyen Trai - Khuat Duy Tien intersection (Hanoi) often experiences congestion during rush hour.

National Highway 1A through Binh Tan (HCMC) has a high density of container trucks, causing danger to road users.

4.2. Traffic control solutions

Application of AI technology in traffic management: Smart traffic lights, automatic monitoring systems help to warn of congestion early.

Expanding roads, building more overpasses: Major cities are speeding up the construction of overpasses to reduce the load on the road system.

5. Investment and development of traffic infrastructure

5.1. Overview of infrastructure investment

Vietnam is accelerating the construction of expressways to complete the national traffic network. Currently, the total number of kilometers of expressways put into operation is 490 km, accounting for 27% of the total length of the national expressway system.

 

5.2. Key projects

North-South Expressway: The next phase is being implemented with sections from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai.

Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway: Accelerated progress, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Tan Son Nhat Airport Expansion Project: Along with road development, the Government also focuses on projects related to road - air connectivity.

 

6. Control of overloaded and oversized vehicles

6.1. Overloaded vehicles are rampant

Currently, overloaded and oversized vehicles are still a burning issue, especially on national highways. Many transport businesses still deliberately violate to reduce transportation costs.

 

6.2. Handling measures

Increase inspections at automatic weighing stations.

Fine fines through camera surveillance systems.

Confiscate driving licenses for drivers who repeatedly violate.

7. Applying technology in road transport

7.1. Developing smart transport systems

Application of artificial intelligence (AI): Support monitoring, analyzing and regulating traffic.

Deploying a non-stop toll collection system: Helps reduce congestion at toll stations.

Applying Big Data: Forecasting transport demand and optimizing traffic flow.

8. Conclusion

In general, road transport in Vietnam on March 4, 2025 has many highlights, including efforts to improve infrastructure, change management policies, and apply modern technology to improve operational efficiency. However, there are still many challenges, especially in reducing traffic accidents and controlling overloaded vehicles. Continued investment in infrastructure and tighter management will help improve the quality of transport in the future.
