HÀ NỘI — Traffic police nationwide will conduct mass traffic inspections from December 15 till February 14, 2025 as part of a plan to ensure traffic safety and order during the New Year holidays (Jan 1, 2025) and traditional Lunar new year festivals.
According to the Traffic Police Department, under the Ministry of Public Security, inspections will be made on roads, railways, and waterways.
Drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be subject to random testing and if they fail, officers will notify the drivers' work place if they are working in the armed forces, or as civil servants, or public employees.
Inspections will also be strengthened on speeding, driving in the wrong lane, and illegal parking.
Police will clamp down on commercial transport businesses with outdated vehicles, those without journey monitoring devices or others with non-functional devices.
Police will also impose strict penalties on students who violate traffic laws and adults who give motorbikes to underage students to drive.
On waterways, the police will look for instances of overloading and check passenger transportation and spots that offer tourism activities, festivals, entertainment, recreation and overnight accommodation on inland waterways.
Police and local authorities are determined to suspend operations of stations and vehicles that do not ensure safe conditions, especially those that do not comply with regulations on safety equipment for people and vehicles travelling on waterways.
Violations that cause unsafe railway traffic, especially at level crossings and self-opened paths, will also face inspections. — VNS
