Police adjusted traffic on Cao Bo - Dai Xuyen highway to free vehicles to return to Hanoi at the end of the National Day holiday

On the 48km Cao Bo - Dai Xuyen section, vehicles from Hanoi going south were transferred to Highway 1, giving way to vehicles returning to the capital on the afternoon of September 1.

Highway Traffic Police Team No. 3, Traffic Police Department applied a plan to organize both directions of the Cao Bo - Dai Xuyen highway for vehicles from the South to Hanoi, to avoid congestion at the end of the National Day holiday.

According to this plan, part of the vehicle still travels on the normal road. Vehicles going straight to Hanoi are transferred to the other side of the road at Km259, circulate to the Dai Xuyen intersection at Km211 and then return to the old road.

Vehicles need to leave the expressway at Liem Son, Liem Tuyen, Phu Thu or Vuc Vong intersections and continue traveling in the normal direction, using lane number 2 or 3.

To avoid confrontation between two lines of traffic, vehicles from Hanoi entering the southern provinces must leave the highway at the Dai Xuyen intersection and move to Highway 1. Authorities also temporarily prevent vehicles from entering the highway going south at Vuc Vong, Phu Thu, Liem Tuyen and Liem Son intersections.

The plan may continue to be applied on September 2 if the number of vehicles returning to Hanoi increases. The police require drivers to stay on the right side of the road as directed, not to arbitrarily change lanes, turn around or leave the traffic flow; Also reduce speed, keep distance and obey temporary signs.

This year's National Day holiday lasts 5 days, from August 29 to September 2. The flow of vehicles returning to Hanoi began to increase from the afternoon of September 1 and is expected to peak on the last day of the holiday.

Previously, on August 29, 15 sections of the North-South Expressway recorded 321,776 vehicles, an increase of 57.4% compared to August 27. Vietnam Road Administration said traffic on the routes is still basically smooth.
