(HBO) - According to Dinh Duy Khai, head of Tan Lac district’s Economic and Infrastructure Office, public awareness and law observance on urban order in communes and towns have improved following various campaigns on restoring urban order. However, violation fines are not strict enough, thus some people continue to occupy sidewalks and roads for personal use.


In the old Lo Market on the National Highway 6 in Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac), the problem of wet markets occupying thepavement and roadhas beengradually reduced.

In order to improve and restore the urban order, Tan Lac district prioritises  communication measures.It also sent working teams to persuade people to voluntarily dismantle encroachments and cuts down trees that pose high risks of causing traffic accidents.In 2018, the district’s traffic safety board organised education activities on traffic rules for100 residentsaged between18 and 55 in Dong Lai commune. It also worked with thepolice, the local radio and television station, and youth union to report on violationsof the safety corridor along roads and their consequences. The district’s police also held 11 training sessions for more than 5,300 teachers, students and residents. A joint project between the authorities and13 schools across the district saw 3,732 students signing commitments to comply with the Law on Road Traffic.

 A campaign to clear up illegal occupation of sidewalks and roads has been recently completed, with relevant forces organising 60 patrols and fining 28 cases of traffic violation. The patrols found 17 individuals encroaching on the safety corridors along roads by illegal building temporary and even permanent houses. The district has so far issued decisions imposing fines in six violation cases and given warning to 122 others. The determination to crack down on violations has helped to ensure safe and convenient transport and gradually eliminate illegal sidewalk-road encroachment./.
