Many streets in Hanoi have faced serious congestion on Monday morning when a new cold spell with rains hit the city with temperatures falling to between 14-17 degrees.
On Tran Phu Street in Ha Dong District, people faced difficulties moving in heavy traffic.
The same situation occurred at the intersection of Nguyen Xien and Khuat Duy Tien.
On Nguyen Trai Street, cars dominated all seven lanes and many people drove motorbikes on the pavements.
Pedestrians also faced difficulties walking on the pavements.
The rainy cold weather is said to have caused serious congestion as more people travelled by car.
The coming Lunar New Year was also one of the causes for the heavy traffic jams.
