Residents who live on these streets will still have vehicle access to these areas.
Under the instruction of Hoan Kiem District’s authorities, the flower markets have to ensure traffic safety and environmental hygiene. Flower sellers will have to ensure pedestrians have at least 1.5 metres of pavement.
