On October 15, 2025, Hanoi began implementing temporary measures to ban and restrict vehicles on a number of key routes to serve the 18th Congress of the City Party Committee. This is a peak period of traffic arrangement combined with security, so people and drivers need to pay special attention to the new routes and regulations.
Highlights
1. Hanoi traffic diversion for Party Congress
From October 15 to 17, 2025, in the area of the National Convention Center (Capital), Hanoi will temporarily ban and restrict many types of vehicles to ensure security and traffic order. 
• Affected routes include: Duy Tan, Pham Van Bach, Tran Thai Tong, Duong Dinh Nghe, Pham Hung (from Me Tri to Thang Long Boulevard), Tran Duy Hung, Do Duc Duc, Mieu Dam and Thang Long Boulevard service road (from Pham Hung to Provincial Road 70 overpass). 
• Restricted time: on October 15, trucks with a capacity of ≥ 1.5 tons and passenger vehicles with 16 seats or more (except for priority vehicles) will be banned/restricted from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. for trucks with a capacity of ≥ 1.5 tons and passenger vehicles with 16 seats or more (except for priority vehicles). 
2. Adjusting road bans / traffic restrictions on key routes
Hanoi City Police have announced a route plan for vehicles to avoid the temporarily banned area, ensuring smooth traffic for vehicles that are still allowed to travel. 
This requires drivers to follow notifications from the authorities to choose a reasonable route.

Analysis & comments
• Traffic diversion and temporary bans during the Congress are necessary to ensure safety, order and avoid complicated congestion.
• However, people – especially truck and bus drivers – will be directly affected if they do not update information. There needs to be a wide and clear announcement about alternative routes and restricted times.
• The affected routes are all vital routes, and if there is no effective alternative plan, it is easy to cause widespread congestion.

Conclusion & Recommendations
October 15, 2025 is special in the Hanoi traffic calendar when the city applies strong measures to serve the 18th Party Congress. People and drivers should proactively monitor traffic flow information and limit the use of key routes during the prohibited hours.
Recommendations:
• Truck or passenger car drivers should avoid prohibited or restricted routes during the above mentioned time.
• Should choose routes that avoid the center, roundabouts or service roads.
• Monitor information from the traffic police and city traffic bulletins for timely updates.
• If there is no urgent matter, it is advisable to postpone travel between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in the afternoon to avoid traffic congestion.
