The Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Police Department recently released a list of over 100 motorbikes caught riding on sidewalks by the Hang Xanh Traffic Police Team. These violations were recorded and penalized on roads within Go Vap District.
In recent times, traffic police have intensified their efforts to address the issue of motorbikes and motorcycles riding on sidewalks. This behavior not only detracts from the urban aesthetic but also poses a direct threat to the safety and well-being of pedestrians and vulnerable road users.
To rigorously enforce the law and promote a culture of safe and civilized traffic participation, the Hang Xanh Traffic Police Team has consistently increased their efforts in recording and penalizing sidewalk violations. Their focus has been on complex roads with frequent violations, such as Quang Trung and Nguyen Oanh streets in Go Vap District.
According to authorities, every road user must understand that saving a few minutes is not worth compromising the safety of others. A seemingly minor action like riding on the sidewalk can lead to significant consequences in the event of a collision. Traffic culture is not just about adhering to laws but also about respecting the community and demonstrating social responsibility.
In just two mornings, the Hang Xanh Traffic Police Team recorded and notified 107 cases of sidewalk violations on Quang Trung and Nguyen Oanh streets in Go Vap District.
The detailed list of violations is as follows:

Through this announcement, the police authorities request vehicle owners to visit the Hang Xanh Traffic Police Team to cooperate in handling the violations. They also urge everyone to cease such violations, uphold traffic laws, and restore sidewalks for pedestrian use.
According to Clause 7a of Article 7 in Decree 168/2024/NĐ-CP, effective from January 1, 2025, motorcyclists riding on sidewalks will face a fine ranging from 4 to 6 million VND. Additionally, violators will have 2 points deducted from their driver’s license, as per Clause 13a of Article 7.
Authorities emphasize that the traffic police’s recording and penalizing of common violations send a clear message: all violations will be detected and addressed, whether directly or through surveillance systems. They also encourage the public to share information about traffic order, safety, and violations in the area via the hotline 028.3726.3803. This will enable timely intervention and ensure traffic order within their jurisdiction.
