Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has praised authorities of 22 provinces and cities nationwide, including Bac Giang and Ninh Thuan, for taking effective measures to ensure traffic safety and reduce more than 20 percent of road deaths in the first quarter of this year.
According to the Traffic Safety Board of northern Bac Giang province, in the January-March period, 83 traffic accidents happened across the locality, killing 25 people and injuring 65 others.
Compared to the same period last year, declines were seen in the number of cases (33 percent), deaths (40.4 percent) and injuries (48.4 percent).
In the central province of Ninh Thuan, local authorities have also bettered their management of traffic situation.
It also enjoyed decreases in the number of accidents (66 cases), fatalities (19 people) and injuries (95).
In efforts to ensure traffic order, from the beginning of 2014 the two localities have carried out a number of drastic measures, including intensifying patrols on key roads, tightening the management of transportation services and vehicle capacity as well as strictly punishing traffic violators.
Activities to publicise laws on traffic safety and order have been organised regularly in order to raise locals’ awareness.
According to the National Committee for Traffic Safety, more than 6,500 traffic accidents have occurred across Vietnam so far this year, resulting in 2,427 deaths and leaving 6,427 people injured.
Traffic police have handled nearly 998,000 violation cases, collecting total administrative fines of 577 billion VND (27.1 million USD) and detaining 6,300 cars and nearly 115,000 motorbikes.-VNA
