Ring Road 2, one of Hanoi’s key arterial routes, is a typical example. If Ring Road 2 is completed in coordination with Ring Road 1, Ring Road 2.5, and radial axes such as Le Duan – Giai Phong, Hanoi could form a relatively complete ring-and-radial network in the inner city. Le Van Luong Road lessonRoad expansion, if not accompanied by strict control over construction density and residential planning, can quickly become a magnet for high-rise developments. Traffic congestion in Hanoi is no longer confined to the urban core area; it has spilled over to Ring Roads 2 and 3, even extending toward Ring Road 3.5. With one lane reserved for BRT, mixed traffic space narrowed further, making congestion an almost daily occurrence.
