On the East-West axis (coinciding with provincial road 396) from Cong Me, Ninh Giang town to Hong Du commune (Ninh Giang), there is a section about 500 m long with a sign indicating a densely populated area.
However, this road has only a few houses on the left side of the road right after the sign of the residential area and the Vocational Education - Continuing Education Center. On the right side of the road is an irrigation canal, on the left side is a field.
According to Decree 168/2024/ND-CP, the penalty for speeding cars is up to 14 million VND and 6 points are deducted from the driver's license; for motorbikes, it is up to 8 million VND. The road with the above sign is not suitable.
According to the National Regulation on Road Signs, for road sections outside urban areas, a road section is determined to be through a densely populated area when it is 500 m or more in length, the distance from the house to the edge of the road (vehicle carriageway) is 6 m or less and the average density of entrances and exits to houses is less than 10 m; in addition, in other special cases such as at intersections where speed must be limited and short interspersed with residential areas, residential areas can also be extended through intersections.
