HCMC to install cameras at 1,400 crossroads - Vietnam

Cameras will be installed to monitor traffic and record violations at about 1,400 crossroads in Ho Chi Minh City, as part of a project to build a €131 million traffic control network in the city.
The city traffic department yesterday said it is selecting an investor suitable for the project, the largest-ever in Vietnam.
Those cameras will help supervise drivers’ compliance of road traffic regulations, including the respect for traffic signals at crossroads, the department said.
The project’s capital investment is estimated to cost about €131 million, which will be sourced from ODA aid of the French Government.
A modern traffic control center will facilitate the monitoring of the traffic situation at crossroads and thereby help improve the arrangement of traffic routes and ease traffic congestion, the department said.
Currently, a French company is working with the Department’s Urban Traffic Management Zone No. 1 to finalize a detailed plan on the project and submit it to the Ministry of Planning and Investment to include it in the city’s list of projects calling for ODA, said the department.
The project is expected to be completed in four years.
