Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan signed Official Dispatch No. 384/QD-UBND on February 7, 2025, approving a pilot plan to restrict vehicles with more than 16 seats from operating on streets within the Old Quarter and around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Accordingly, the city government has agreed to implement the pilot restriction based on proposals and recommendations from the Department of Transport outlined in Official Documents No. 7283/SGTVT-QLKCHTGT dated November 8, 2024, and No. 584/SGTVT-QLKCHTGT dated January 23, 2025.

Thí điểm hạn chế xe ô tô trên 16 chỗ hoạt động trong khu vực phố cổ và khu vực xung quanh hồ Hoàn Kiếm

The area surrounding Hoan Kiem Lake.

The Hanoi People's Committee has assigned the Department of Transport to take the lead, in coordination with the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee and the Hanoi Police Department, in organizing public awareness campaigns and implementing the vehicle restriction plan. 

The department is also responsible for developing traffic management solutions and arranging transit points and shuttle services to minimize the impact on tourism activities. Additionally, authorities will closely monitor traffic conditions to promptly identify and address any issues that may arise, ensuring road safety and reducing congestion in the district.

Following the trial period, the city will conduct an assessment of the plan's effectiveness and overall impact before submitting a report to the Hanoi People's Committee for review and further direction.
