In Hanoi, police are focusing on illegal parking near school gates to reduce congestion, utilizing AI cameras and direct patrols. Meanwhile, in Dong Nai, two drivers were fined 19 million VND each for crossing railway tracks while red lights were active.

Other notable enforcement actions include the penalization of a container driver in Dong Thap for carrying over 80 tons of steel, exceeding weight limits by 150%, and the processing of two bus drivers for using mobile phones while driving. Authorities are also utilizing digital systems to issue 'cold fines' (fines via camera footage) in provinces like Bac Ninh and Thanh Hoa, urging vehicle owners to comply with regulations.
