“Accidents come from the mouth,” as the old saying goes, and it’s true! Especially for truck drivers in Hanoi, just a moment of carelessness in parking can lead to a multitude of problems, from parking tickets to collisions. Today, XE TẢI HÀ NỘI will share 5 golden rules for truck parking, helping you drive safely and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Anh Tuan, a long-time truck driver in Ha Dong, shared: “Driving a truck in Hanoi is already stressful, and now finding a parking space is even harder. Many times after delivering goods, I want to stop and rest for a bit, but I have to constantly worry about getting a ticket.”
Truck parked on the side of the road
Indeed, truck parking in big cities like Hanoi is always a difficult problem. Not only is there a lack of parking spaces, but many drivers are also not fully aware of the regulations, leading to traffic violations. So, how to park a truck correctly, safely, and avoid fines?
Before driving, you need to understand the regulations on stopping and parking trucks according to the Road Traffic Law. For example, you need to clearly distinguish between “stopping” and “parking”. Stopping is a temporary halt due to technical requirements, picking up/dropping off passengers, etc., for a short time without leaving the vehicle. Parking is stopping for a longer period, possibly leaving the vehicle and needing to use that part of the road.
In addition, you need to be aware of no stopping and no parking signs, especially signs prohibiting truck parking. This will help you avoid fines and ensure safety for yourself and other road users.
Once you understand the regulations, you need to choose a suitable parking spot. Avoid parking in prohibited areas, densely populated areas, narrow roads, areas that obstruct visibility, etc. Prioritize parking in designated truck parking lots, areas with permitted parking signs, ensuring security and order.
Once you have found a suitable parking spot, you need to park correctly. Park close to the right edge of the road in the direction of traffic, except for one-way streets. Turn on your signal lights to alert other vehicles. Engage the parking brake, shift to neutral (for manual transmissions) or park (for automatic transmissions).
Truck parked in a parking lot
If you have to park your truck overnight or for a long time, you need to pay attention to security. Choose a location with security cameras and guards. Lock the doors carefully and do not leave valuables in the vehicle.
Vietnamese people value feng shui, especially truck drivers who often travel long distances. Choosing a parking lot should also pay attention to this factor. According to feng shui expert Nguyen Van An, “Choose a bright, airy parking lot, avoid damp, dark places. The best parking direction is East or South, helping to attract fortune and luck for the vehicle owner.”
