Traffic jams in Viet Nam usually take place in big cities, such as Ha Noi and Ho Chi
Minh City. There is no rule for the time when a traffic jam happens. But it is the worst during
the rush hour when everyone is in a hurry to get to work or come back home. Apart from peak
hours, the time between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and between 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. also witnesses long
lines of vehicles, mainly motorbikes. When it rains, the traffic jam gets more terrible. Taxis are
extremely hard to catch or wave during this time.
However, the most annoying thing about the traffic jam is the way people react to it.
Most road users ride their motorbikes on the pavement. Moreover, they constantly use their
horns to hasten riders in the front, even shouting at them from time to time.
