On November 3rd, Hanoi’s Traffic Police collaborated with Dinh Cong Ward Police to survey and install a camera system for automated traffic fines on Nghiem Xuan Yem Street (near the Kim Van – Kim Lu urban area). This street has long been plagued by overnight parking, causing significant traffic congestion for years.
However, as reported by Tien Phong on November 16th, nearly two weeks after the surveillance technology was implemented, the 120-meter stretch remains frequently occupied by vehicles and pedestrians, blocking both the road and sidewalk.
Despite clear no-parking signs, many drivers continue to park overnight, with some vehicles even blocking the road horizontally.
Four rows of parked vehicles occupy most of the road, severely limiting space for moving traffic.
Surrounding the apartment buildings in the Kim Van – Kim Lu urban area, cars are parked haphazardly, tail-to-tail. This not only reduces space for other vehicles but also poses risks and difficulties for pedestrians, especially children and the elderly.
According to Dinh Cong Ward Police, the issue stems from three apartment buildings (CT12A, CT12B, CT12C) lacking car parking basements, and the surrounding area has no designated parking facilities.
Mr. Hoang Van Bien, Head of the Management Board for CT12B, stated: “A decade ago, when residents purchased their homes, few considered owning cars. Now, with improved living standards, car ownership is justified, but the infrastructure hasn’t kept pace. Fines alone, without accompanying infrastructure solutions, will not resolve the issue.”
The Kim Van – Kim Lu urban area houses approximately 4,000 residents, primarily in the CT11 – CT12 cluster. Despite its size, none of the buildings have car parking basements, only a single basement for motorcycles. The surrounding area lacks large-scale parking facilities, leaving residents no choice but to park on the road.
Hanoi’s Department of Construction and the Ward People’s Committee are currently reviewing land availability for parking solutions, but no specific timeline has been set.
Meanwhile, the increasing number of vehicles makes it challenging to permanently address the issue of roads turning into massive parking lots.
