On October 22, 2026, the road traffic sector continued to record a lot of remarkable information related to traffic organization on highways, perfecting the sign system to improve traffic safety, along with the orientation of long-term traffic infrastructure development in Hanoi. These are all moves to reduce congestion, limit accidents and improve the efficiency of road network exploitation across the country.
1. Seven highways must complete the addition of safe distance signs before October 31
The Vietnam Department of Roads requires management units to urgently review and supplement signs and road markings guiding the safe distance on 7 highways before October 31, 2026.
The routes include:
* Hai Phong - Mong Cai.
* Hanoi - Hai Phong.
* Phap Van - Cau Gie.
* HCMC - Trung Luong.
* Trung Luong - My Thuan.
* My Thuan - Can Tho.
* Dien Chau - Bai Vot.
The addition of signs aims to help vehicle drivers keep a safe distance, reduce the risk of continuous collisions, especially at sections with heavy traffic.
2. Promosing a new traffic organization plan on Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway
The Vietnam Department of Roads has approved the plan to organize traffic in the period of exploiting the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet route.
According to the new plan:
* Cars, trucks under 3.5 tons and passenger cars with less than 29 seats are allowed to run at a maximum of 90 km/h.
* Sleeper buses and other vehicles are exploited at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.
* Vehicle drivers must comply with regulations on safe distance according to the sign system on the route.
This plan is expected to contribute to ensuring safety during the period when the expressway continues to be completed and exploited stably.
3. Hanoi builds a traffic planning with a 100-year vision
Hanoi Department of Construction has completed the appraisal of the Capital's transport planning task with a 100-year vision.
According to the orientation, the urban railway network will play a central role, connecting synchronously with buses and other modes of transport to:
* Reduce traffic jams.
* Improve public transport capacity.
* Urban development in a sustainable direction.
This is considered an important preparation step for the Capital's long-term traffic development strategy.
4. Continue to improve traffic organization on highways
In parallel with the adjustment of exploitation speed on some routes, the Vietnam Road Department continues to request management units to:
* Review the signboard and road marking system.
* Monitor vehicle traffic to promptly adjust the traffic organization plan.
* Coordinate with the Traffic Police force in inspecting, guiding and handling violations.
These solutions aim to improve the efficiency of expressway exploitation and reduce traffic accidents in the near future.
Conclusion
In general, on October 22, 2026, there were not many major fluctuations in road traffic, but management agencies continued to focus on improving infrastructure and organizing traffic on key highways. The addition of safety distance signs, adjusting the speed of exploitation and the development of long-term plans are expected to contribute to improving traffic safety, reducing congestion and meeting the increasing demand for travel in the near future.
