How much is the fine for stopping, parking motorbikes at bus stops in Vietnam?
I was fined last week by the traffic police for parking motorcycles at the bus stop. I want to ask it is true that the traffic police sanctioned me for parking motorcycles at the bus stop. If true, what is the penalty in Vietnam? Thank you!
Pursuant to Clause g, Point 4, Article 18 of the 2008 Law on Road Traffic stipulates that it is forbidden to stand or park a vehicle at the bus stops.
According to Point h, Clause 2, Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP stipulates as follows:
2. A fine ranging from VND 200,000 to VND 300,000 shall be imposed upon a vehicle operator who commits any of the following violations:
h) Stopping, parking on the tramway, at the bus stop, at an intersection, at a crosswalk; stopping where a “Cấm dừng xe và đỗ xe” (No stopping and parking) sign is erected, parking where a “Cấm đỗ xe” (No parking) sign or “Cấm dừng xe và đỗ xe” (No stopping and parking) sign is erected; breaking the rules on stopping and parking at intersection with the railway; stopping or parking within the railway safety perimeter, except for the violations specified in Point b Clause 2, Point b Clause 3 Article 49 of this Decree;
Thus, based on the above regulations, the traffic police's punishment for stopping and parking at the bus stop is in accordance with the provisions of law. The fine for this act is from VND 200,000 to VND 300,000 in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
