The approach to traffic congestion (TC) from the different perspectives of countries around the world helps Vietnamese experts to better understand and come up with a consensus on how to understand the problem. this topic. Since then, in the management of traffic safety and control, to curb traffic congestion, traffic police and other departments have the basis to perform the work, properly assess the level of traffic safety to implement the task; doing well the reporting, statistics, building databases on TC; create integration in the context of international cooperation with other countries. Solving the problem of traffic congestion in large cities in Vietnam is a problem that cannot be solved overnight. This problem requires the synchronous participation of many ministries, branches and people in traffic. All measures need to get feedback from the people, thoroughly resolve the critic before implementation.
