Causes of traffic jams in Hanoi
The increase of personal vehicles and poor transport infrastructure are the major reasons for traffic congestion in Hanoi and other big cities in Vietnam.
 |
| While motorcyclists blame automobiles for causing traffic congestion, car drivers complained about the poor awareness of motorcyclists of traffic laws. |
 |
| Poor transport infrastructure, unsynchronized planning, and poor awareness of traffic law have been problems for Hanoi traffic for years. |
 |
| The rapid increase of private cars is another reason. |
 |
| The development of new residential areas is part of the cause. |
 |
|
According to the Hanoi Traffic Police, by September 2015, the city had 535,000 cars. |
 |
| Many universities and hospitals are still located inside the city. |
 |
| Traffic in Hanoi and HCM City is a nightmare for foreign tourists. |
 |
| Poor awareness of traffic rules is a big problem. |
