At noon on April 29, on Ha Long Street (Bai Chay Ward, Ha Long City), Ha Long City Traffic Police had to spread out their forces along this street to regulate traffic.

Because at this time there are so many cars on the road causing traffic jams, motorbikes have to climb onto the sidewalk to move. The most serious traffic jams are the turnoff to Ha Long International Passenger Port and the beginning of Vuon Dao Street.

The turn to Ha Long International Passenger Port was jammed for hours.

"My family left the hotel to go eat at 12 noon, but by 1 pm we still hadn't reached the restaurant. The car was moving forward by the meter. Knowing that, I booked a table at a restaurant near the hotel so we could walk there," said Tran Dinh Long (32 years old, a tourist from Hanoi).
