2. Clarifying the reasons why the Phap Van – Cau Gie Expressway has not yet implemented a 120 km/h speed limit
Despite being expanded to 6 lanes and being one of the expressways with the highest traffic volume in the North, the Phap Van – Cau Gie Expressway currently operates at a maximum speed of 100 km/h instead of 120 km/h.
According to the analysis of the management agency, the very high traffic volume, the characteristics of connecting with many interchanges, and the high density of trucks are factors that need to be considered to ensure traffic safety before adjusting the operating speed.
