Expressway is
rather a new concept for Vietnamese, traffic is growing rapidly but the major
roads are dangerous due to inappropriate design and an inappropriate traffic
mix. Expressways would solve these problems along the key corridors, by
separating high speed traffic from slower, local traffic.
Vietnam currently recognizes two classes of expressway. Both have a minimum of
two lanes in each direction, but Class A has grade separated interchanges, while
Class B has at-grade intersections. There are 4 design-speed categories: 60, 80,
100 and 120 Km/h. Generally all cars, buses and trucks are permitted on the
expressway but motorcycles of less than 70cm³ engine
capacity are not.
Road finance comes
from a number of sources including the government, overseas donors such as the
ADB, WB, JBIC and business organizations. Road investment recovery is mainly
through tolls collected on bridges and roads, in accordance with laws mentioned
above.
