The Ho Chi Minh City's authorities will consider this month a ban on using motorcycles on some streets in District 1.
In the scheme, the designated streets are Dong Khoi, Nguyen Hue, Le Loi, Phan Boi Chau, Phan Chau Trinh, Nguyen An Ninh, and Luu Van Lang.
The urban transport management zone will divide lanes and enforce the ban on motorcycles after its scheme is approved.
To avoid traffic congestions stemming from the division of lanes, motorcycle prohibition will be initially enacted on weekends.
In preparation for carrying out the pedestrians' quarter project in the downtown area, the zone will also propose another scheme to forbid automobile-use on the aforementioned streets.
