Hanoi City Speed Limits: Essential Information for Drivers

My friend Tuan, who lives in Cau Giay, Hanoi, transports construction materials using his Dongfeng truck. The other day, he complained about receiving a speeding ticket caught on camera. It turned out he was driving too fast for the city speed limit, distracted by the cityscape.

Tuan’s story serves as a reminder for all of us, especially drivers, about the importance of obeying speed limits within the city. Let’s explore this topic further with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!

City Speed Limits: Regulations and Reality

Speed Regulations

According to current traffic laws, the maximum speed limits for vehicles within urban areas are as follows:

• Roads in densely populated areas: 50 km/h (31 mph).
• City streets and urban roads: 40 km/h (25 mph).
• Narrow roads, roads with heavy traffic, and limited visibility: 30 km/h (19 mph).

Note: These speeds may vary depending on the specific route. Speed limit signs are posted along the roads to inform drivers.

Current Situation and Issues

Despite clear regulations, compliance with speed limits by drivers, especially truck drivers, remains a significant challenge.

Nguyen Van A, a traffic expert at the Institute of Transport Research, stated: “Many drivers lack awareness and regularly exceed speed limits, especially at night or on empty roads. This poses a high risk of traffic accidents.” (Hypothetical quote)
