Is parking in front of the hospital gate subject to a fine?

The vehicle transported the patient to the emergency department of the Trauma and Orthopedics Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. The driver got off the vehicle to move the patient into the emergency room and then returned to the vehicle, only to be fined by traffic police for parking in a no stopping no parking zone. Is this fine justified?

Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 18 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law:

"Parking is the state of a vehicle standing still without a time limit."

At the same time, according to the provisions at Point h, Clause 4, Article 18, it is also specified:

  1. The operator of a vehicle shall not stop or park the vehicle in front of or within 5 meters of either side of the gates of the headquarters of an agency or organization.

Thus, according to this provision, parking in front of a hospital gate is also considered as parking in front of the headquarter gate of an agency or organization. Therefore, the act of the driver being fined for parking in a prohibited area is entirely appropriate.

Specifically, according to the provisions at Point d, Clause 1, Article 5 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP:

"The act of parking a car at a designated location where parking is allowed shall be fined from VND 200,000 to VND 400,000."

Sincerely!
