Reduce Maximum Speed Tender

📄 Tender ID: 528855396 📅 Published: 13 Feb 2026

📋 Tender Overview

On highways with divergent investments, sleeper buses and trucks over 3.5 tons are only allowed to run at a maximum speed of 80 km/h instead of 90 km/h as currently. Download Sleeper buses and other vehicles allowed to participate in traffic on highways: maximum allowable operating speed is 80 km/h News from the Vietnam Road Administration (Ministry of Construction), this unit has just allowed Road Management Zones to adjust the maximum allowable speed for some expressway sections on the North - South Eastern route in the period of 2017 - 2020. Accordingly, Vietnam Road Administration assigned Road Management Zone II to organize a pilot (from 3 - 6 months) adjust the maximum operating speed to suit each type of vehicle on investment-phased expressways with 4 lanes, intermittent emergency stopping lanes, which have been put into operation and exploitation and are regulating the maximum operating speed of 90 km/h. Reduce the maximum speed on limited expressway sections. At the same time, review and reduce the maximum speed applied to all vehicles participating in traffic on high-speed sections. Investment divergence speed has limited technical factors (long, large longitudinal slope, rutted and degraded road surface), the route section passes through areas with frequent fog and limited visibility. Specifically: For normal sections: Cars, passenger cars <= 29 seats; Trucks <= 3.5 tons will maintain the maximum allowed operating speed of 90km/h. Sleeper buses and other vehicles are allowed to participate in traffic on the highway: the maximum allowed operating speed is 80 km/h. Expressway routes will be piloted with speed adjustments in the area of Road Management Zone II including: Nghi Son - Dien Chau, Dien Chau - Bai Vot, Bai Vot - Ham Nghi, Ham Nghi - Vung Ang, Vung Ang - Bung, Bung - Van Ninh, Van Ninh - Cam Lo. Similarly, in the area of Road Management Zone I, expressways will have maximum speeds adjusted for sleeper buses and trucks over 3.5 tons including: Mai Son - National Highway 45, National Highway 45 - Nghi Son, Nghi Son - Dien Chau. According to the Vietnam Road Department, the whole country has now completed and put into operation above. 3,345 km of highway. In particular, many divergent investment projects according to TCCS Standard 42:2022/TCDBVN have the scale of flat curves, vertical curves, longitudinal slopes and a number of criteria that have met complete expressway standards; 4-lane width, safety strips are arranged to suit the diverging scale; Intermittent emergency stops on each direction of the road. The maximum operating speed of 90 km/h is applied to divergent investment highways with 4 lanes, with intermittent emergency stops in accordance with the provisions of TCCS 42:2022/TCDBVN. This speed is consistent with the experience of many countries around the world. The width of highway lanes in the US is 3.6 m, Japan is 3.5 m, but it can be operated at speeds up to 100 km/h and in some cases higher. However, in recent times, there have been a number of traffic accidents on some divergent highway routes, mainly related to trucks and passenger cars, in which the vehicles do not ensure the distance in traffic, stop, park incorrectly, lack of warning, failure to control speed and some other violations. To enhance traffic safety, for routes currently operating with a maximum speed of 90 km/h, adjust the maximum speed to 80 km/h for passenger cars, buses with over 29 seats (small passenger cars), double-decker sleeper buses and trucks of 3.5 tons or more, and organize monitoring for 3-6 months to evaluate this adjustment. Vietnam Road Administration has directed the applications. Highway managers arrange traffic safety cones and parking signs at emergency stops and other necessary locations for drivers to use to warn vehicles to pay attention and avoid when vehicles are forced to stop or park on the highway. Add reflective spikes, reflective eyes, yellow flashing lights using solar energy or other types of traffic warning lights using batteries, electricity or solar energy to increase awareness of locations with emergency stopping lanes. in conditions of limited natural light. Regarding the issue of traffic on the highway during Tet, Traffic Police Team No. 4 (Traffic Police Department) also recommends that vehicle owners when traveling on the highway strictly comply with regulations on speed and safe distance. During Tet days, vehicle traffic on National Highway 1A is less than on the highway, vehicle owners should choose appropriate roads and traffic routes to reduce congestion.
