Among the problems of society, traffic safety is one of the big issues that ring the alarm because it is directly related to human life. Traffic safety is a concept indicating the safety for people involved in traffic on roads, waterways, airways, and a sense of good observance of traffic laws and appropriate behavior when traveling on Street. Accordingly, the reality of traffic safety is assessed in three main aspects, namely traffic accidents, violations of traffic laws and transport infrastructure. The cause of the above situation comes mainly from the people's awareness of participating in traffic, besides there are also negative things in the transport industry when traffic officers and police show signs of corruption and self-interest. . Therefore, to ensure traffic safety, we need to improve people's awareness, improve the responsibility and the spirit of serious work of officials, constantly upgrading infrastructure to ensure People participate in safe traffic.

As a developing country, Vietnam is enjoying rapid economic growth, the evidence of which can be seen in all major cities whose streets are teaming with thousands of vehicles of all kinds. Unfortunately, traffic problems invariably ensue. This essay will present these problems and some solutions.

Practically, city dwellers are most vexed by traffic congestion. One can be stuck in the traffic for hours during rush hours in Ho Chi Minh City where I live. Cars and buses often advance at a snail pace even off rush hours because there are always some cars ignoring traffic rules, holding up hundreds of cars. Worse still, accidents are increasing daily. With more cars on road, it becomes harder to navigate our vehicle out of a collision course with other cars, bikes, or people. Each year, thousands die or get injured in traffic accidents, not to mention the incalculable property damage.

However, traffic accidents and congesion need not to be a necessary evil. Something can be done to reduce them. To begin with, measures should be taken to reduce private car ownership. Increased taxes in gasoline will do well to dampen many people’s enthusiasm for buying a car. In addition, most traffic wardens need to be posted in busy intersections to regulate the flow of traffic. Most accidents occur because people start to take chances when there is no policeman around. Accidents can be vastly reduced if all of us abide by traffic rules. A well-developed public transport system is the ultimate solution. Cheap and reliable, public transport offers comfortable rides to everyone. It is the most energy and space-efficient way to travel in cities unless all people choose to walk or ride bikes, which seems unlikely.

All in all, progress often has its casualities and prices to pay. The promise of speed and safety offered by private cars is becoming harder to fulfill each day. Sound planning and measures are required to tackle traffic problems.
