Please explain a little more about the traffic rules for riding motorbikes in Vietnam: Here, at the intersection of streets, motorbikes are allowed to turn right when the traffic light is red. Thus, when you see a green light allowing you to walk across the street, you just need to pay attention to motorbikes turning right.
Unfortunately, the constant flow of motorbikes never allow you to actually start crossing safely, even when you see an opening, it closes very quickly due to the oncoming rush of scooters. The red traffic light for right turns should be interpreted as a stop sign in this situation, and give right of way to pedestrians, however, that is absolutely never the case.
@@fulltimeabroad You are absolutely right. Actually, everyone in Vietnam knows this problem from traffic policemen to motorbike owners, but it has not been completely resolved for nearly 30 years. Local media also raised this topic many times, but the bad habits of Vietnamese when riding motorbikes have broken the rules. The problem now is that a series of measures need to be taken to solve it. For example: increasing fines and collecting driver's licenses, educating traffic laws from a young age right at kindergartens and elementary schools, strongly developing public transportation (E-buses & Metro system) and upgrade traffic infrastructure at intersections.
Good tips. Thanks
