km, there are 10 stations, passing through 20 communes and
wards.
According to statistics, until 15 April, the province has
three railway accidents killed 1 person; injured 2 people.

7, when the cargo train 3702 Lao Cai - Hanoi passed a cross
way made by locals hit and killed a person across the
railroad. Another case on 13 April Mrs. Hang Thi Sao (1932,
H'Mong ethnic living in Van Yen district) walking across the
railway at Km227 + 200 at Lang Thip station, she did not
hear the whistle sound of the train 2601, pulling 20 coaches

railway line Hanoi - Lao Cai through Yen Bai province has 25
guarded crossroads, 262 self-open paths; Of which 121/122
self-open walkways were marked with "Watch out for trains".
"Most of the railway accidents happened in the past time due
to lack of attention by traffic participants as many of the
accidents occurred at the intersections of roads and
railroads which have been marked as "Attention to the train"
said Tran Xuan Quyet, chief of the traffic police office in
Yen Bai province. From 2016, the People's Committee of Yen
Bai province and the provincial Department of Transportation
have directed the localities to strengthen the work of
ensuring the quality of traffic at roads and railways;
Request the People's Committees of districts, towns and
cities to mobilize resources from localities and people to
carry out the construction of the deceleration ramp,
organize the guards at the crossroads, roads with the
railway. "So far, nothing has been done due to lack of
funding. In the coming time, to promote railway traffic
safety in the area, the Provincial Traffic Safety Board will
promote the propaganda of the Railways Law to all classes of
people. At the same time, it is expected that the
Government, ministries and agencies to provide funding for
the construction of a road to remove dangerous
intersections; renovation of road surface, construction of
speed reducer, signage and automatic warning system in
dangerous locations, "he added. |
