Ha Noi, |
The survey, completed by Ha Noi Transport Department and the Ministry of Transport's
Strategy Institute at a number of major traffic points in Ha Noi, was pointed
out at the meeting between the department representatives and local police to
review the city's traffic problems.
Traffic flow into the city is now 15 minutes faster than it
was eight months ago, said the department.
Earlier this year, to reduce the number of traffic jams, the
Ha Noi Government directed students at higher education, high school, and
vocational training levels to start their school day before 7:00am and end it
at no later than 7:00pm.
Previously, these students began school at 7:00am or 7:30am
and finished around 5:30pm.
The survey found that traffic flow at several major points
had improved during rush hour periods (7.30-9.30am and 4.30-7.00pm) while the
number of vehicles on the roads during these hours had reduced from 5-15 per
cent.
The survey also said that the average travelling time had
now reduced by 10-15 minutes while traffic accidents in the city had also
declined.
Furthermore, the time adjustments had helped public buses to
operate better with more commuters and less missed journeys.

After the meeting, the department urged Ha Noi to continue
finding solutions to reduce traffic jams such as limiting the number of trucks,
tourist buses and taxis on the road during several daytime periods, and install
more light bridges to ease congestion in the city.
