City leader wants traffic problems fixed before Tet
=================================
Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Chairman Le Hoang Quan has ordered authorized agencies to keep a close eye on the city’s traffic problems and fix them immediately in the lead-up to Tet.
Quan said the agencies must curb traffic problems in their areas from now until the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, which falls on January 26.
They should prevent traffic jams and quickly clear them if they occur, and severely penalize people violating traffic rules, he said.
The committee has already told contractors to ensure safety and smooth flow of traffic at places where they are carrying out road work by having workers on three shifts and tarmacking the road immediately after finishing work.
It has also entrusted the Department of Transport with providing up-to-date traffic information to the media.
