On June 23, the department said it wants to make a transport system that is safer, smoother, and more civilized.

They are working on post-construction road operations.

The Traffic Police Department's deputy director, Colonel Pham Quang Huy, said current laws focus on building roads but not on how to manage traffic.

Huy said there are no unified standards for traffic flow, which leads to safety risks.

The current laws do not fully address how to manage roads after they are built.

Huy noted that traffic accidents are caused by driver behavior and incomplete infrastructure.

To reduce accidents, authorities must plan and develop infrastructure, protect traffic safety corridors, and improve traffic organization.

These measures will create safer and more convenient urban roads.

The new plan aims to create unified standards for traffic management that can be applied nationwide. Authorities will test these standards in selected locations before implementing them widely.

A pilot project is planned for Phu Quoc.

The draft plan has received input from experts and researchers from various institutions.

Establishing a standardized traffic management framework is urgent and will provide a consistent technical foundation for traffic authorities.

The drafting committee will incorporate expert feedback to ensure the final framework is simple, practical, and effective.

Once completed, the proposal will be submitted for approval and implementation.

The first pilot project will take place in Phu Quoc Special Zone.

Traffic police leaders hope the initiative will improve traffic management and create safer urban roads.

The draft framework consists of five chapters and 18 sections, covering areas such as planning and technical design.

Several key principles are proposed, including safety as the top priority.

The framework prioritizes safety and requires every traffic management measure to protect road users first.

The framework also seeks to eliminate mixed traffic by separating cars from motorcycles and non-motorized vehicles.

Another proposal would change how drivers approach intersections, requiring vehicles to stop and assess conditions before proceeding.

The draft introduces technical measures such as underground utility infrastructure installation and sidewalk redesign.
