Many bikers hold their breath whenever they travel on a road section spanning three districts in Ho Chi Minh City, where they have no choice but to share lanes with cars, trucks, and buses due to a serious overload in their lanes.
In recent times, many bikers have complained of the worrying overloading of motorbike lanes on a section of Truong Chinh Street which stretches from the An Suong Flyover to Cong Hoa T-junction in District 12, Tan Binh District, and Tan Phu District.
The street has among the highest traffic volume in the city. Some hundreds of motorcyclists resort to encroaching on the car and truck lanes and risking their own lives on a daily basis.
