Accordingly, the Vietnam Road Administration requests units, investors, and project enterprises to consider and direct toll stations to exempt road use fees for vehicles transporting relief goods when passing through toll stations until new guidance documents are available.

The units coordinate with the Regional Road Management Area and relevant local agencies to organize lane division, traffic flow, and traffic guidance so that the above vehicles can pass through the toll station as quickly as possible.

The Vietnam Road Administration also noted that all toll suspensions and fee exemptions for the above vehicles must be recorded and toll collection records and data must be fully archived in accordance with regulations.

Previously, storm No. 10 caused heavy rain, storms, and serious landslides in many localities in the Northern and North Central regions, causing many deaths and missing people, thousands of houses had their roofs blown off and were damaged; hundreds of kilometers of national and provincial highways were eroded, flooded, and traffic was cut off. Natural disasters have left material and spiritual losses for people and forces working in road management, maintenance, and repair in the affected areas.

On the side of the Vietnam Road Administration, a launching ceremony was also held to support the people of the Northern and North Central provinces affected by storm No. 10. All money and donations will be collected and transferred to localities, units and individuals in the road sector that suffered heavy damage caused by the storm, ensuring proper use, publicity, transparency and timeliness.
