Vietnam to increase speed limit in residential areas in March
The speed limit in urban areas in Vietnam will be increased by 10kph from the current level in March, when a Ministry of Transport circular takes effect.
Besides the speed increase, the circular, released on December 31, 2015, also stipulates that speed limits will vary based on the types of road, rather than vehicle like the present.
Specifically, the 60kph limit will be applicable to roadways with median strips and one-way two-lane roads, whereas the restriction for two-way roads without median strips and one-way one-lane roads will be 50kph.
Both of the new limits are 10kph faster than current levels.
As per current regulations, speed limits are different between trucks, cars and motorbikes even though they travel on the same road.
