Analysis & evaluation
The application of new regulations for large passenger vehicles and heavy trucks not to use lanes close to the median strip on expressways is an important step to streamline traffic, reduce congestion and the risk of accidents. However, this change requires time for drivers to get used to, and there must be clear announcements and signs.
Incidents of motorbikes overtaking and going in the opposite direction are signs that traffic awareness is still limited, especially during rush hour or on roads with many types of mixed vehicles.
The weather this afternoon (sunny, thunderstorms) can reduce traffic safety, especially on wet roads, poor visibility; if not careful, the risk of slipping and colliding will be higher.
Conclusion & recommendations
Hanoi on September 18, 2025 is making positive adjustments in highway traffic management, but problems such as reckless overtaking, mixed roads, etc. still exist. Unpredictable weather can increase risks if people are not careful.
Recommendations:
If driving a large passenger car or heavy truck, you should be careful not to enter lane 1 on the highway if you are subject to regulation.
Motorcyclists and cyclists should avoid reckless overtaking, observe carefully before changing direction or overtaking other vehicles, especially when it is raining or in slippery road conditions.
When participating in traffic in thunderstorms, reduce speed, increase safe distance, turn on headlights to increase visibility.
Authorities should continue to monitor the implementation of new regulations and ensure that people are fully informed, before imposing formal penalties to avoid misunderstandings and protests.
