A representative from the Traffic Police Department under the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said the department is collecting images and data to train AI systems to detect traffic violations.

Hanoi expands AI traffic monitoring with cameras detecting 29 BRT lane violations in just 24 hours.

From 2026, traffic police will only handle violations if image or video evidence is available, a move to enhance transparency in law enforcement.

As cars dominate the streets and motorbikes weave through gaps, who’s really to blame for Hanoi’s chaotic traffic?

According to Major General Do Thanh Binh, Director of the Traffic Police Department, Hanoi’s Nguyen Trai Street can be restructured into six lanes with separated traffic flows for cars and motorbikes to improve safety and reduce congestion.

The Ministry of Public Security plans to expand traffic monitoring with over 5,000 new surveillance cameras across expressways, highways, and cities.

The Ministry of Public Security is drafting a new circular to financially support individuals and organizations that report administrative violations related to traffic order and safety.

To prevent fatal accidents on two-lane expressways, immediate measures such as installing rigid medians, emergency lanes, rest stops, and lighting systems are essential for traffic safety.

Narrow roads, no emergency stopping lanes, and the absence of rest stations are common issues plaguing Vietnam’s two-lane expressways, which have become high-risk zones for traffic accidents.

Vietnam is set to put the brakes on traffic offences by introducing community service as a supplementary penalty, aiming to ease mounting road safety concerns.

Lack of barriers and emergency lanes have turned major routes into accident zones.

Hundreds of AI-powered cameras with advanced traffic management and enforcement capabilities are being deployed across Hanoi, aiming to replace traffic police on the streets by December 18.

Major General Do Thanh Binh, Head of the Traffic Police Department, stated that his agency is moving toward a new era by optimizing technology and gradually reducing human presence on roads.

The police have announced a plan to intensify camera-based enforcement and notify vehicle owners of violations in no more than two hours. While applauding the decision, many drivers are concerned about technical errors and lack of feedback channels.

Smart monitoring system to notify violators within 2 hours, streamlining enforcement.

Without installing physical lane dividers - such as on Vo Chi Cong and Pham Van Dong - Hanoi's traffic will remain chaotic and dangerous, say authorities.

Three months into its implementation, Decree 168 has significantly reduced traffic violations and accidents, as drivers begin to fear high fines.

The Traffic Police Department is deploying more cameras and smart systems to monitor road violence and detect illegal street activity in real time.

The city’s new AI-powered camera system will enhance traffic control, facial recognition, and real-time threat detection.

A recent review by the Ministry of Construction revealed 586 malfunctioning or problematic traffic signal clusters across Vietnam’s road network in 50 provinces and cities.
