This 1934 map, titled "Un Nouvel Hanoi," shows a radical French colonial blueprint by architect Léo Craste that was ultimately cut short by World War II and the September revolution. Designed as a budget-friendly alternative after the Great Depression, the plan attempted to impose massive, geometric spiderweb radials and roundabouts over modern-day Ba Dinh and Hai Ba Trung. It also strategically placed military zones near the Hanoi station for colonial defense. Because the war halted construction, these grand European grids were never finished, allowing areas like Dong Da to develop into the bustling, chaotic yet orgranic local neighborhoods we navigate today.

Simple traffic fines won't make a dent in these people's pockets either

Ha Noi - Hai Phong highway: Two girls and a parent were fined 16.5 million VND (626.2 USD) by traffic police for violations including: Riding a motorcycle in the opposite direction onto a highway; riding without helmets, license and unlawfully giving a motorcycle above 50cc to a minor (specifically for the mother of the rider).

I can not emphasize how it important it is for traffic laws to be taught in all schools and the kids should be exposed to consequences of not following the law
