According to reports from the Project Management Boards (PMUs) and thedepartments of transport managing the expressways, after a period of exploitationand monitoring, traffic is initially stable.
To ensure uniformity, DRVN proposed the Ministry of Transport allow the 4-lanelimited access highways with a hard median divider to have maximum operatingspeed of 90km per hour.
The Ministry of Transport requested investors and PMUs to continue monitoringtraffic organisation and safety on the route to promptly detect any problemsand shortcomings so as to report to competent authorities to adjust the speedof operation and traffic organisation plans to ensure safe and smooth traffic.
PMUs, departments and investors of highways need to complete additionalinvestments to enhance the work of ensuring traffic order and safety, includingintelligent transportation systems (ITS) for the project of managing, operatingand maintaining the transportation infrastructure.
