  • Designed Speed regulated by Road Type
  • Speed Limits regulated by Vehicle Type
  • e.g., car and bus are allowed to run at higher speeds 

more serious or fatal accidents with motorcycle

  • Lack of signs and facilities to support safe
  • vertaking on highways, particularly for MC drivers

Regulatory and legal instruments

Speed Regulation

Regulatory and legal instruments

Road Signs and Marking

03.2015 | Motorcycle Accidents in Vietnam | Dr.-Eng. Vu Anh Tuan | 16

  • Standards & guidline for road signs and

markings are generally existed.

  • Road users find it difficult to recognize traffic

sign boards (small and inappropriately located).

  • For motorcycle/scooter users, sign boards need

to be easily recognizable and understandable

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Regulatory and legal instruments

Engineering & Enforcement Solutions

03.2015 | Motorcycle Accidents in Vietnam | Dr.-Eng. Vu Anh Tuan | 17

  • Lack of standards nor guidances for designing motorcycle

lanes, sign boards/marking & traffic signal systems for the mixed traffic.

  • Weak enforcements on major national highways and at night.
  • Lack of routine enforcements for traffic violations (e.g.,

speeding, wrong lane use, dangerous overtaking, illegal parking, red light running, and no helmet wearing, etc.)

Recommendations

Research Need for Vietnam

03.2015 | Motorcycle Accidents in Vietnam | Dr.-Eng. Vu Anh Tuan | 18

  • Need to support scientific research
  • To deeply undertand the local traffic behaviors, particularly

motorcycle behaviors, and

  • To develope infrastructural engineering solutions, including

road signs/markings and traffic signal system for motorcycles.
