The new law will go into effect on March 1 this year.
Accordingly, the maximum speed in residential areas will be divided across two road categories, as seen in the table below:
Types of roads |
Maximum speed (Km/h) |
Two-way roads with a center divider or one-way roads with at least two lanes for motor vehicles |
60 |
Two-way roads without a center divider or one-way roads with only one lane for motor vehicles. |
50 |
The maximum speed outside residential areas is 80km/h on two-way roads without a center divider or one-way roads with only one lane for motor vehicles, which is similar to the current laws.
However, for two-way roads with a center divider or one-way roads with at least two lanes for motor vehicles, the maximum speed will increase by 10km/h to 90km/h.
More detailed information can be found in Circular 91/2015/TT-BGTVT.
