Barriers on pavements along some streets in the city centre to prevent motorists from encroaching upon them. Nguyen Van Dung, deputy director of the department’s Urban Transport Management Board No 1, told HCM City Law newspaper the barriers were built on pavements along streets, including Pasteur, Ly Tu Trong and Nguyen Binh Khiem. Dung said the barriers were high enough to prevent motorbikes from encroaching upon the pavement, but would not trouble pedestrians much.
