The plan aims to implement Prime Minister's Directive No.11/CT-TTg dated April 21, 2025 on the same issue by setting out clear tasks and responsibilities for relevant departments, agencies, and organizations to ensure strict, effective implementation of the directive.
It seeks to create a strong shift in leadership, direction, and execution at all levels, while raising awareness of the law and promoting a sense of responsibility among government bodies and citizens.
The plan emphasizes that public safety and security must always be the top priority. It directs continued, determined implementation of the law and its guiding documents, with a focus on ensuring compliance by all public employees and workers across the city.
Hanoi will also intensify legal education and communication campaigns to promote road safety and deepen public understanding of the law.
These communication efforts will target behavioral change, aiming to influence the attitudes, habits, and awareness of road users, with the goal of fostering a modern and civilized traffic culture across the population.
The city will increase patrols, inspections, and strict enforcement of penalties for traffic violations. Special attention will be paid to violations such as illegal street parking, encroachment on roadways, and other actions that cause congestion or disorder.
Authorities will also review and upgrade the city's traffic infrastructure where needed, and develop a comprehensive traffic flow management plan to avoid temporary fixes that lead to new problems elsewhere.
The plan also outlines the implementation of regulations regarding the timeframes and zones for the operation of four-wheeled motorized passenger and cargo transport vehicles within city limits.
Hanoi will allocate local budget resources in accordance with current State regulations and mobilize additional lawful funding to invest in the construction of an intelligent traffic control center.
This includes installing surveillance cameras and violation monitoring systems along key national highways, major traffic arteries, and city gateways, integrated with the Ministry of Public Security's traffic command center.
The Hanoi Police Department is tasked with leading patrols, directing traffic, and strictly handling violations related to road safety and urban order.
The police will crack down on illegal vehicle parking and sidewalk encroachments, and begin applying a demerit point system for driver's licenses to raise public awareness and compliance.
Modernization efforts will continue to enhance the capabilities of the city's traffic police force, including greater use of technology to reduce direct interactions with the public and improve efficiency.
Science and technology will also be applied to streamline administrative procedures related to driver's license issuance, renewal, and revocation, vehicle registration, permits for priority vehicle signal equipment, and the processing of administrative violations.
These reforms aim to save time and make services more accessible for residents and businesses.
In coordination with the education sector, police will also provide safe motorbike driving training for students.
The city will take over management of the traffic light system and work with the Department of Construction to quickly repair or replace malfunctioning or poorly placed signals to ensure they are clearly visible and help road users comply with traffic rules.
The Hanoi People's Committee emphasized the need for unified leadership, consistent coordination, and effective collaboration among city departments, agencies, district- and commune-level authorities, and related organizations to ensure full and sustained implementation of Directive No.11/CT-TTg.
The city has identified the enforcement of this directive as an urgent and ongoing priority task that must be addressed continuously and constantly.
