Hanoi police propose to move inter-provincial rail tracks out of inner cityVietNamNet Bridge – The Ha Noi Police Department has proposed to move the Ha Noi Railway Station and all the inter-provincial rail tracks to the suburbs to avoid traffic congestion and fatal accidents in the inner city. Currently, there are about 10 kilometres of rail tracks in the inner city, which lead to traffic congestion and pose potential risks of accidents. Thus, it was necessary to move the Ha Noi Railway Station and its rail tracks out of the inner city, he said. Binh said it would help eliminate traffic conflicts between railways and roads, ease traffic pressure in the inner city, and reduce accidents. Vu Van Vien, director of the city’s Department of Transport said that rail accidents tend to increase in provinces where illegal crossings are installed.
