Analysis & Comments
• Serious accidents in Ho Chi Minh City and Lao Cai remind us that poor road conditions, bad weather or driving violations are still major causes.
• Rain and local flooding in Hanoi expose weaknesses in the urban drainage system and immediately affect traffic on small roads or high traffic density.
• Using traffic cameras + broadcasting during rush hour is a very good support measure for people to proactively choose routes when traffic fluctuates.

Conclusion & Recommendations
On October 14, 2025, road traffic nationwide recorded serious accidents, along with local congestion in major cities due to thunderstorms. Traffic regulation, incident handling and warning work has become especially important.
Recommendations for road users:
• When traveling in thunderstorms, reduce speed, turn on headlights, and keep a safe distance.
• Avoid going through low-lying or flooded roads when there are warnings.
• If possible, follow online traffic maps or “rush hour” programs to choose routes to avoid congestion.
• In the provinces, when traveling on highways or mountain passes, especially in rainy conditions, check brakes and tires for safety, and avoid going over mountain passes when it is dark or visibility is poor.
