On November 5, the People's Committee of Quang Tri province issued a document agreeing to assign the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee to establish an investment policy for projects to overcome a number of potential traffic accident black spots in the province, with an implementation period from 2024 to 2026.

According to the report of the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee, based on the feedback from the localities, the unit established an inspection team and found that at some intersections, due to the increasing density of vehicles participating in traffic, the organization of traffic by painted lines, signs... is no longer suitable, causing insecurity, traffic congestion and many unfortunate accidents.

Of which, Dong Ha proposed to install at 3 locations: the intersection of Le Loi Street - Dai Co Viet Street - Nguyen Huu Khieu Street, the intersection of Dang Dung Street - Ngo Sy Lien Street, the intersection of Le Thanh Tong Street - Tran Binh Trong Street.

In Quang Tri town, it is proposed to install at 2 locations: the intersection of Hai Ba Trung Street - Le Hong Phong Street, the intersection of Tran Hung Dao Street - Le Hong Phong Street.
