Can Tho removes traffic police effigies after one yearThe Can Tho City Traffic Safety Committee last week destroyed several traffic police effigies because it did not have money to fix them. The Thot Not District Police installed 12 traffic police effigies on May 20, 2015 at a cost of VNĐ40 million (US$1,700). But just like real traffic police, effigies too can become worn out and need to retire. The effigies, made from plastic and sponge, were seriously downgraded and dirty after being installed along Highway 91 in Thot Not District for a year. At that time, captain Le Viet Trung, director of the Thot Not District Police, told media they were aimed at raising people’s awareness of traffic laws.
