End of Tết holiday marked by high traffic congestion around major cities

HÀ NỘI — As the week-long Tết (Lunar New Year) holiday comes to an end, routes leading to major cities have become congested as workers return from their hometowns. There were also traffic jams on roads surrounding the capital city's two major coach stations, Nước Ngầm and Giáp Bát. Traffic police will also be present at gateways to the capital city to handle congestion and accidents. Hà Nội's Traffic Police Department has directed its teams to coordinate with district and town police forces to ensure smooth traffic movement and security. More vessels have been mobilised to the temporary ferry terminal of Rạch Liễu to meet increasing demand over the holiday season.
