Vietnam traffic enforcement and National Day holiday results
Overview
The nationwide traffic-safety campaign under Decree 168/2024 continued through the National Day holiday period (August 29 to September 2, 2026), marked by intensive management and a reported decline in casualties.
To manage the surge of travelers, authorities implemented contingency plans, such as the potential conversion of the Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway to one-way traffic toward Ho Chi Minh City. In Hanoi, police deployed 100% of personnel and utilized AI camera systems to monitor high-pressure junctions and expressways. Enforcement focused heavily on electronic evidence, specifically targeting intentional violations of safe following distances on highways. Other notable infractions during the period included a bus driver penalized for reckless overtaking on a mountain pass and a female driver fined for allowing children to lean out of a sunroof on a highway.
According to the Traffic Police Department, the five-day holiday saw 192 road accidents, resulting in 93 deaths and 134 injuries. This represents a decrease compared to the same period in 2025, with a 26.15% drop in accidents, a 36.73% decrease in deaths, and a 16.25% decrease in injuries. No accidents were reported on railways or waterways.
Nationwide, police recorded 97,621 traffic violations, including 11,621 alcohol-related offenses and 17,074 speeding violations. Additional infractions involved overloading, exceeding passenger limits, drug use, and the use of electronic devices while driving. Authorities also took action against 11 cases of failing to maintain safe following distances involving buses, cars, and trucks.
