Vietnamese traffic police cited P.T Company after roadworks on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway were carried out without staff to warn and direct traffic.
On November 6, the traffic police unit responsible for expressways said it had issued an administrative violation record against a company working on the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway. The company had not assigned staff to warn drivers and direct traffic, although the approved traffic organization plan required it.
The violation was detected at 4:12 p.m. on November 4 during a patrol. Officers recorded it at kilometre 6 plus 334 metres on the route from Ho Chi Minh City toward Dong Nai Province.
P.T Company was carrying out construction but had not assigned a specialist to warn, guide and regulate traffic at an access opening. The approved traffic organization plan included this requirement.
Traffic police said the absence of staff to warn and guide vehicles near the work site created a safety risk. Vehicles travel at high speeds on expressways, so a crash could occur if drivers are not warned and directed in time when approaching the work area.
Police issued the record against P.T Company for failing to assign staff to warn and regulate traffic while work was being carried out on a road open to traffic. The violation falls under Point b, Clause 3, Article 8 of Government Decree 336/2025. The fine ranges from VND10 million to VND14 million.
Police also ordered the project investor and supervising organization to strengthen inspections and ensure that the approved traffic organization plan was followed.
Traffic police reminded contractors that work on roads open to traffic, especially expressways, requires enough staff to warn, guide and regulate vehicles, helping protect people and traffic passing through the work area.
