Such violation of traffic laws exacerbates heavy traffic congestion on Giai Phong, a gateway to the city center. (Source: VOV)

To help ease congestion, police officers have been dispatched to regulate traffic at intersections, especially the key Giai Phong-Ring Road 3 intersection leading to Hanoi – Ninh Binh Expressway. (Source: VOV)

Traffic becomes heavy as of 4:00 p.m. on major roads in the city center such as Nguyen Trai, Tay Son, Tran Duy Hung, and Nguyen Chi Thanh. (Source: VOV)

At gateways into the city center, traffic officers have been mobilized to regulate traffic in an attempt to ease congestion. (Source: VOV)

Despite the efforts, such crowding has not improved much due to a large number of people traveling home, even when it is getting dark. (Source: VOV)
