Quy Nhon beach town limits speed to 30 km/h to develop tourism

Many coastal roads in Quy Nhon have signs limiting the speed to 30 km/h to ensure traffic safety and serve sustainable tourism development.

Over the past few days, residents and tourists in Quy Nhon Ward, Gia Lai Province (formerly part of Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh Province) have been surprised to see a series of 30 km/h speed limit signs installed on central coastal roads.

The routes with speed limits include: Xuan Dieu, Nguyen Trung Tin, An Duong Vuong, Nguyen Tat Thanh. In addition, some sections of Le Loi, Nguyen Hue, Le Hong Phong, Phan Dinh Phung, Le Duc Tho... also have similar signs.

Some routes apply speed limits all the time, some only apply them on a timed basis. On busy routes such as Nguyen Tat Thanh and An Duong Vuong, the 30 km/h sign only applies to the two outer lanes, while the middle lanes continue to operate normally.

Immediately after the sign was installed, there was a lot of controversy on social media. Many people said that the speed limit of 30 km/h was too low, causing inconvenience to motorbike and car drivers, especially during rush hour.

However, many people support the need to reduce speed on tourist routes because of the large volume of traffic, including many tourists unfamiliar with the terrain. Limiting speed will reduce accidents, especially at intersections, near residential areas, schools, and places where pedestrians cross the road.

Not only does it ensure safety, driving slowly also provides a better experience for tourists. At a moderate speed, tourists can easily enjoy the scenery, stop to take pictures or stop at check-in points and roadside restaurants. This contributes to extending the length of stay and increasing local spending.

According to a leader of the Gia Lai Department of Construction, the installation of speed limit signs on the above routes is in line with the tourism development orientation, while ensuring safety and convenience for residents and visitors.

In addition, this move also aims to bring the operation of tourist electric vehicles into order. Previously, this type of vehicle operated quite chaotically, with many potential risks of accidents. From February 15, 2025, according to Decree 165/2024 of the Government , tourist electric vehicles are only allowed to operate on routes with a speed limit of 30 km/h and are not allowed to stop, park, or pick up or drop off passengers in unregulated places.

Limiting speed is not simply a technical traffic solution, but also a strategic step in building a safer, more civilized and attractive tourism environment in the coastal city of Quy Nhon.
