Hanoi Truck Driving: Road Marking Violations and Safety

“A stitch in time saves nine” applies to many things, but with vehicles, it’s more like “Good Truck – Safe Driving.” Even the best truck can’t prevent accidents if the driver ignores traffic laws, lacks experience, or worse, disregards road safety. Today, XE TẢI HÀ NỘI (Hanoi Trucks) discusses a common yet dangerous violation: ignoring road markings.

What is a Road Marking Violation?

Decree 100/2019/NĐ-CP defines road marking violations as failing to comply with traffic signs and road markings indicating direction, lanes, and permitted stopping or parking areas. Common examples include:

• Improper lane changes without signaling.
• Overtaking where continuous lines prohibit it.
• Illegal parking or stopping.
• Driving against traffic on divided roads.

The Dangers of Ignoring Road Markings

Many drivers, especially truck drivers in Hanoi, underestimate the seriousness of road marking violations. However, they are a leading cause of accidents, particularly on congested roads like Giải Phóng, Trường Chinh, and Nguyễn Trãi.

Loss of Control and Collisions

Sudden lane changes, illegal overtaking, or driving in the wrong lane prevent other vehicles from reacting in time, leading to collisions. Mr. Nguyen Van A, a traffic expert at the University of Transport and Communications, states: “Trucks have significant weight and inertia, resulting in severe consequences upon impact.”

Traffic Congestion

Illegal parking, especially on narrow streets and in densely populated areas like phố Huế, Hàng Bài, and Bà Triệu, obstructs traffic flow and increases congestion.

Preventing Road Marking Violations: Prioritizing Awareness

To avoid violations and ensure road safety, truck drivers should:

• Thoroughly understand traffic laws, especially those concerning road markings.
• Maintain focus while driving, observing signs and markings.
• Use turn signals when changing lanes or direction.
• Avoid parking in prohibited areas.
