On November 6, 2026, road traffic across the country stood out with the directives of the Vietnam Department of Roads on strengthening traffic safety in the last months of the year, promoting the application of technology in infrastructure management and continuing to implement many key traffic projects in localities. Besides, some serious traffic accidents still occur, showing that the requirement to raise awareness of law enforcement of traffic participants is still an urgent task.
1. The Department of Roads requests to strengthen traffic security at the end of the year
In the face of the complicated development of natural disasters in the last months of the year, the Vietnam Department of Roads requires Road Management Zones, Department of Construction, Project Management Board and road management enterprises:
* Review the natural disaster response plan.
* Prepare enough manpower, supplies and means.
* Check locations at risk of landslides, waterlogging and weak bridges and roads.
* Urgently fix problems to ensure smooth and safe traffic.
This directive aims to minimize damage caused by storms and ensure transportation activities at the end of the year.
2. Collecting more than 3,500 billion VND of fees on 15 North - South expressways
The Ministry of Construction said that after 8 months of implementing tolls for 15 North-South expressways in the East invested by the State:
* Serving more than 37.5 million vehicles.
* Total revenue reaches over 3,500 billion VND.
* In October 2026 alone, revenue reached nearly 549 billion VND.
This revenue will be used to serve the management, maintenance and reinvestment of road transport infrastructure.
3. Promote the application of UAV in road maintenance
The road industry is expanding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV/Flycam) in the inspection of bridges, roads and highways.
The application of UAV helps:
* Check hard-to-reach locations, especially high-altitude bridges.
* Early detection of damage to infrastructure.
* Reduce risks for maintenance forces and improve management efficiency.
This is considered an important step in the digital transformation of the road transport industry.
4. Some serious traffic accidents continue to occur
During the day, the authorities continued to provide information about a number of notable accidents:
* In Khanh Hoa, a car carrying four people collided with a concrete pump truck, causing the vehicle to be severely damaged and many people were injured.
* In Bac Ninh, a woman walking across the street without observation was hit by a motorbike and died.
* Functional forces are investigating, clarifying the causes of the incidents and advising people to be vigilant when participating in traffic.
5. Localities continue to strengthen traffic order and safety
Many localities continue to implement measures to ensure traffic order and safety:
* Strengthen patrol, control and handling of violations.
* Promote the propaganda of safe driving skills for people.
* Review and complete the infrastructure system and potential accident risk points.
These activities contribute to raising awareness of law enforcement and reducing the risk of traffic accidents.
Conclusion
In general, on November 6, 2026, the road transport sector continued to focus on two key tasks: ensuring traffic safety during the rainy and stormy season at the end of the year and improving the efficiency of infrastructure management through digital transformation and the application of modern technology. Along with that, maintaining patrolling, handling violations and propagating the law continues to play an important role in reducing traffic accidents, ensuring safe and smooth travel for people across the country.
