Cars will be able to move in both directions at night on a number of streets in Ho Chi Minh City that currently allow only one-way car traffic, according to the municipal Department of Transport.

The department on Tuesday announced the new rule will be applied on nine streets in District 1 and District 10 from 10:00 pm until 6:00 am the next morning every day, starting from May 10.

The nine streets include:

— Bui Thi Xuan Street in District 1, between intersections with Cach Mang Thang Tam Street and Alley 150 of Nguyen Trai Street.

— Nguyen Huu Cau Street in District 1, between intersections with Tran Quang Khai Street and Hai Ba Trung Street.
