Switching to the left lane to pass, then returning to the appropriate lane helps create clear space, reduce congestion, and increase safety on expressways.
The Traffic Police Department requested the Vietnam Road Administration to install solid lines at the center line on narrow, curved road sections, to prevent using the oncoming lane for overtaking.
Germany, the US, and Australia all penalize drivers who occupy the passing lane to maintain smooth traffic flow, reduce aggressive driving, and lower collision risks.
According to the plan researched by the agency, vehicles would only be allowed to move into the lane adjacent to the median strip when needing to overtake a vehicle ahead.
