The outcome was attributed to measures local authorities deployed to prevent traffic jams and accidents.
However, there was a rise in railway accidents in the first three months of 2017, with seven accidents claiming seven lives, an increase of three cases year-on-year.
In the first quarter of 2017, the city traffic police handled more than 11,700 cases of traffic violations, with total fines of about VND22.3 billion (US$981,000). Nearly 160 vehicles were seized and 1,587 drivers had their driving licences revoked.
