For roads leading to Me Linh Square, including Phan Van Dat, Ho Huan Nghiep, and Ngo Duc Ke, traffic will only be allowed toward the square and not into Dong Khoi Street, particularly for vehicles remaining within the restricted zone after isolation measures are in place.

Authorities also prohibit stopping, parking, or gathering to watch fireworks on bridges such as Thu Thiem, Mong, Calmette, Ong Lanh, the Hang Xanh overpass, Phu My, Nguyen Huu Canh overpass, Saigon Bridge, and Rach Dia Bridge.

In Area 1, located in the new city center of Binh Duong Ward, roads including Hung Vuong Street and Huynh Thuc Khang Street (from Truong Sa to Le Loi) will be closed from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm.
