Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi Department of Public Security has proactively implemented a comprehensive security and traffic management plan to ensure public safety and smooth traffic flows for the Glorious Spring Fair 2026, held from February 2 to 13 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Dong Anh commune.

The fair has drawn tens of thousands of visitors each day during the peak pre-Tet shopping season, highlighting its stature as a major national cultural and commercial event.

Traffic police forces have been deployed at maximum capacity during peak hours at key intersections surrounding the exhibition centre, including Truong Sa and Vo Nguyen Giap streets, Nhat Tan Bridge, the new National Highway 3 and the extended National Highway 5. Officers are on duty to regulate traffic and guide vehicles from the city centre and neighbouring provinces.

Road Traffic Police Team No. 15, responsible for Dong Anh commune, has played a central role in traffic diversion, regulation and order maintenance. The unit has coordinated closely with communal police and other competent forces, proactively surveying traffic conditions, forecasting congestion risks and deploying officers at critical junctions to promptly handle emerging situations. The use of AI-based traffic camera systems has further supported real-time monitoring and flexible traffic control, including temporary restrictions on heavy vehicles when necessary.

Security at the fairgrounds has been maintained at the highest level through close coordination among various units. A multi-layered security system has been established, with inner and outer security rings, plainclothes officers in crowded areas and standby teams for medical services and fire prevention and fighting. As of the first days of the fair, no incidents related to security or public order have been reported.

Organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade under Government direction, the Spring Fair 2026 brings together more than 2,500 enterprises with around 3,000 booths. Beyond promoting Vietnamese products and brands, the fair offers a vibrant cultural space ahead of the Lunar New Year, while reinforcing Hanoi’s image as a safe, friendly and attractive destination./.
