Ensuring traffic safety during major events

From August 1 to September 15, the Dong Nai Provincial Police has launched a peak campaign to ensure traffic order and safety, contributing to absolutely protecting the security and safety of Party congresses at all levels, in preparation for the 14th National Party Congress, as well as activities marking the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, National Day (September 2), and the 80th anniversary of the People's Public Security Force's traditional day.

With the motto "no restricted zones, no exceptions", the traffic police force has been fully mobilized, equipped with modern technology to patrol and monitor national highways and expressways. Focus is placed on routes with high traffic volume, including National Highway 1, National Highway 13, National Highway 14, National Highway 20, and National Highway 51. The core objective of this campaign is to identify and strictly handle violations that pose an immediate risk of traffic accidents.

The traffic police have deployed round-the-clock task forces to set up checkpoints, conduct mobile patrols, and manage traffic remotely. Each patrol unit is equipped with speed detectors, breathalyzers, drug-testing devices, and surveillance cameras to ensure timely enforcement of violations and effectively prevent congestion and illegal street racing.

Senior Lieutenant Colonel Tran Trong Thuy, Head of the Traffic Police Division under Dong Nai Provincial Police, emphasized that enforcement efforts are not only focused on traffic "hotspots" but also on roads leading into residential areas, restaurants, and tourist destinations, where drivers are more likely to have consumed alcohol or beer before getting behind the wheel. Alcohol and drug testing is conducted rigorously at strategic checkpoints, with no exceptions for anyone.

The peak campaign aims to address major violations, such as driving under the influence of alcohol, beer, or drugs, speeding, reckless overtaking, wrong-lane driving, and failure to wear helmets. It also targets trucks and passenger cars that violate load and technical conditions. Additionally, the authorities also focus on checking drivers' licenses, passenger capacity, and other safety measures to ensure public security on every journey.

Alongside inspections and enforcement, Dong Nai Provincial Police have ramped up public awareness campaigns to promote voluntary compliance with traffic regulations. In addition to patrolling and monitoring, traffic police officers have actively assisted residents in handling incidents, provided guidance at congestion points, and worked to build a responsible and approachable image, contributing to the spread of traffic safety messages.
