On October 30, 2025, road traffic in many places across the country recorded remarkable developments: from the serious accident in Ho Chi Minh City, landslides and flooding on the Central Expressways, to the adjustment of traffic organization on the Southern Expressway. These events pose both great challenges and requirements for traffic safety and traffic management.
Highlights
1. Multiple accidents in Ho Chi Minh City: homemade motorbike collides with 2 cars, one person dies
At noon on October 30, on Dang Thuc Vinh Street (Dong Thanh Commune, Ho Chi Minh City), a 23-year-old man driving a homemade motorbike carrying garbage collided with a 5-seat car and was then hit and dragged by a truck, causing him to die on the spot. 
2. Landslides and flooding on Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway due to prolonged heavy rain
Prolonged heavy rain caused landslides and flooding on the section from Km 215+300 to Km 215+700 on Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet Expressway. Rocks and soil from the slope flowed onto the road, affecting traffic. 
3. Adjusting speed and lane division on the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway
According to the new plan, from November 10, 2025 on the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway: lane 1 will be prohibited for trucks over 7.5 tons and passenger cars over 29 seats; the minimum speed will be raised to 80 km/h; the changes are aimed at reducing congestion and improving operational efficiency. 
4. Traffic organization and violations in Dong Nai
In Dong Nai province, on October 30, the traffic police force made a record to handle a case of a car driving in the wrong lane (double solid yellow line) on DT.759B road – showing that people and authorities are in dialogue about traffic organization. 
5. Hanoi Traffic on the morning of October 30: Live reporting, surveillance cameras
On the morning of October 30, the program "Rush Hour: Hanoi Traffic" reported live from traffic cameras so that people could choose the best route. At the same time, Hanoi plans to deploy more than 1,873 AI cameras to monitor traffic violations remotely.

Analysis & Evaluation
• The accident in Ho Chi Minh City shows that the risk is very high when small vehicles (motorcycles) travel in the same direction or near large cars and trucks — especially when the vehicle is not up to standard, the road conditions or lighting are poor.
• Landslides and flooding on the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway remind that the infrastructure system is under pressure from natural disasters and prolonged heavy rains — the expressway, which is considered modern, is not immune to natural impacts.
• Adjusting traffic organization and lane division on the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway is a step towards in-depth traffic management — not only handling incidents but also reorganizing traffic to prevent congestion and accidents.
• In Dong Nai and Hanoi, increased monitoring, alarms, the use of AI cameras and traffic TV channels show a trend of shifting from only “handling when there are violations” to “monitoring and prevention”.
• However, there is still much work to be done in warning people, processing information at the scene, and coordinating between units (traffic police, road management, local authorities) — especially in areas that often experience heavy rain, landslides, or routes where accidents often occur.

Conclusion & recommendations
On October 30, 2025, road traffic in Vietnam will experience many diverse situations: fatal accidents, landslides, flooding, major traffic adjustments, and increased monitoring. This is an opportunity to remind traffic participants and traffic management to be more flexible and proactive.
Recommendations for traffic participants:
• When traveling on highways or major roads, especially sections with trucks/passenger buses or areas under repair, keep a large distance, reduce speed, and observe warning signs.
• If going through areas with heavy rain or landslides (such as the Central region, Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet highway), prioritize other routes if there is a notice or wait for the road to be cleared.
• Motorbike or small vehicle drivers when traveling near large vehicles or vehicles carrying goods need to be absolutely vigilant; avoid traveling in large lanes if safety conditions are not met.
• In urban areas like Hanoi, people should follow traffic news, use applications/websites that provide road conditions & traffic cameras to choose a safe route.

• Traffic management agencies need to step up early notification of landslide/flooded sections, clearly assign alternative routes, and use AI cameras in combination with on-site forces to monitor and handle quickly.
