According to HCM City, Truong Sa and Hoang Sa streets which travel along Nhieu Loc-Thi Nghe Canal are key roads linking the districts of Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan and Tan Binh and districts 1 and 3. The two help to ease traffic pressure on other local roads.

A vehicle ban would interrupt links for the city’s main roads but Phu Nhuan District authorities have suggested a solution to replace the banned section on Truong Sa Street.

The plan to open Phan Xich Long food street submitted to the department earlier did not mention Truong Sa Street. It only included an area stretching from Phan Xich Long Street to Rach Mieu residential areas, running through Nguyen Cong Hoang and Cu Lao streets.
