A driver, traveling in the lane closest to the median strip on the Hanoi-Thai Nguyen expressway near the Bac Phu overpass on 5/7, encountered a startling situation. The driver, whose car was equipped with a dashcam, was driving at approximately 60 mph in a 60 mph zone when they were suddenly surprised by a man sitting on the median in the shade with his legs extending into the roadway. The video shows the driver's momentary surprise and reaction to the unexpected presence of the pedestrian.

High-speed traffic on expressways presents significant dangers. The presence of pedestrians puts both the individual and other drivers at risk. Pedestrians are prohibited from entering expressways, except for authorized personnel performing maintenance or management duties. Walking on an expressway is a violation of Decree 168/2024, punishable by a fine of 400,000 to 600,000 VND.
