Recently, DRVN has reported to the Ministry of Transport on the work of postingmaximum speed limit signs on limited access highways with four motor vehiclelanes.
Since late December last year, there have been four sections of the four-lanelimited access highway being permitted a maximum speed from 80km to 90km perhour, including My Thuan Bridge 2, My Thuan-Can Tho, Trung Luong-My Thuan andTuyen Quang-Phu Tho expressways, said DRVN.
According to reports from the Project Management Boards (PMUs) and thedepartments of transport managing the expressways, after a period of exploitationand monitoring, traffic is initially stable.
To ensure uniformity, DRVN proposed the Ministry of Transport allow the 4-lanelimited access highways with a hard median divider to have maximum operatingspeed of 90km per hour.
The Ministry of Transport requested investors and PMUs to continue monitoringtraffic organisation and safety on the route to promptly detect any problemsand shortcomings so as to report to competent authorities to adjust the speedof operation and traffic organisation plans to ensure safe and smooth traffic.
PMUs, departments and investors of highways need to complete additionalinvestments to enhance the work of ensuring traffic order and safety, includingintelligent transportation systems (ITS) for the project of managing, operatingand maintaining the transportation infrastructure.
Previously, DRVN also proposed the Ministry of Transport increasethe maximum speed from 80km to 90km per hour for vehicles up to 30 passengersand trucks up to 3.5 tonnes on nine 4-lane expressways including Lao Cai-Kim Thanh,Cao Bo-Mai Son, Mai Son-Highway 45, Nghi Sơn-Highway 45, Nghi Son-Dien Chau,Nha Trang-Cam Lam, Cam Lam-Vinh Hao, Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet, and My Thuan-Can Tho./.
