National Highway 10, the section passing through Ninh Binh province, was continuously congested on January 30 and 31 (the 2nd and 3rd days of Tet) due to increased traffic volume, especially traffic leading to the Cau Gie - Ninh Binh and Cao Bo - Mai Son expressways.

Cars lined up in long lines, blocking Highway 10, causing local traffic jams for several hours on the second day of Tet. On the morning of January 31, the traffic jams continued, with vehicles having to move slowly to get onto the highway.

Cars line up at the temporary rest stops that have just been put into use along the highway in the Central region. On the North-South highway from Ninh Binh to Ha Tinh, which is more than 250 km long, people can now access 3 temporary rest stops along the route, limiting the situation of cars having to run all the way, or stopping right on the road.
