Hanoi has set a goal to reduce the number of traffic deaths and injuries by half by 2030 compared to 2020.
This is part of the city’s traffic safety and traffic congestion plans for the 2022-2025 period.
Under the plan, the city will address eight to 10 frequent traffic-congested spots and prevent traffic jams longer than 30 minutes.
Municipal authorities have asked concerned agencies to arrange parking spots within inner city areas as well as lanes for bikes only. It is also necessary to develop disabled and elderly transport options in urban areas.
The city will tighten control over licensing apartment buildings and commercial centres to ensure they have the required parking lots and transport infrastructure.
Hanoi will continue expanding and improving the public transport network to help ease traffic congestion and protect the environment. The city’s public passenger transport system is expected to meet around 30-35 percent of travel demand by 2025.
Hanoi authorities have also identified better pavement management to deal with encroachments.
