Infrastructure or consciousness

TQO - In recent years, many expressways have been inaugurated and put into use, not only shortening travel time but also creating favorable conditions for localities where the expressways pass to promote economic-socio development, exploiting the potential for tourism development and cultural exchange between regions.

However, recent tragic traffic accidents have shown that some highways have many potential risks of accidents. In addition to the lack of synchronization of infrastructure and inadequate traffic arrangements, the awareness of traffic participants is an issue that needs to be improved.

Currently, there are still many traffic participants who have poor traffic awareness when traveling on the highway. Many drivers, just because they want to be a little faster, violate traffic laws such as speeding, entering emergency lanes, sudden lane changes, going in the opposite direction, going backwards on the highway, etc. These errors have led to many traffic accidents.

According to traffic experts, standard highways always have 2 lanes or more. And when traveling on the highway, it is completely different from the roads in the inner city. From understanding the speed of each lane, from high speed lane, minimum speed lane to emergency lane. Especially asking to pass or change lanes. This is also one of the basic things that every driver needs to understand. But reality shows that there are many cases where people still move according to their own ego. Therefore, it is necessary to build awareness of traffic culture.

To create a traffic culture cannot be done in a day or two, but requires perseverance from both sides, the management agency as well as the traffic participants themselves. However, there also needs to be strict handling of cases of disregarding the law and disregarding the lives of others.

Highways are modern transportation infrastructure systems, bringing many socio-economic benefits to each country. But if we do not simultaneously improve infrastructure, build a legal corridor, and build a culture of traffic safety on highways, the consequences will be unpredictable. High speed but safety must still be priority.
