Speed Limit Signs Removed Near Former Toll Stations on National Highway 51 in Dong Nai

In a move aimed at improving traffic flow and safety, authorities in Dong Nai city have taken down the 50 km/h speed limit signs that were previously posted around the old toll collection points on National Highway 51. This decision comes after the physical dismantling of two toll stations in the area during April 2026, which has effectively cleared the roadway and restored its original capacity.

These speed restrictions were initially put in place in 2023 as a precautionary measure to ensure safety in the vicinity of the now-defunct toll plazas. With the removal of the physical structures, the need for such a low speed limit has diminished. The decision to remove the signs reflects a response to the changing conditions on the highway, prioritizing smoother traffic movement while still ensuring safety for motorists.

National Highway 51, a vital artery connecting Dong Nai province and Ho Chi Minh City, has undergone significant development. The highway, originally featuring three BOT toll stations operated by BVEC, has seen its toll collection temporarily suspended since 2023. The recent dismantling of the T3 toll station in April 2026, following persistent requests, marks a further step in the highway's transition. The removal of the speed limit signs is a practical consequence of these infrastructure changes, aimed at optimizing the use of the improved road network for the benefit of commuters in the region.
