Ho Chi Minh City to inspect traffic signals, signs, and road markings

Ho Chi Minh City authorities are launching a comprehensive review of traffic infrastructure in the final months of 2026, focusing on traffic signals, road signs, and lane markings. The initiative, led by the city's police department in coordination with the Department of Construction and local authorities, aims to improve traffic safety and reduce congestion.

The inspection will specifically target potential accident hotspots and areas prone to traffic jams. Special attention will be paid to intersections and roads with heavy vehicle density, as well as construction zones. This effort is part of a broader strategy to ensure traffic order and safety during the year's remaining months.

Beyond infrastructure checks, police will intensify the analysis of traffic accident data. This includes identifying specific routes, times of day, vehicle types, and driver demographics that pose the highest risk. The goal is to develop targeted solutions to mitigate these risks effectively.

Furthermore, the city will enhance its use of surveillance cameras and technical equipment to detect and process traffic violations. Artificial intelligence is also being explored to analyze camera data, predict traffic flow, and assist in traffic management. Enforcement will focus on critical violations such as drunk driving, speeding, and ignoring traffic signals, alongside addressing illegal transport operations and unsafe modified vehicles.
