VietNamNet Bridge – Many people sell small things near the rails. Whenever trains pass, they have to stick to the handrail. Violations of railway safety is witnessed often in many road-railway intersections in HCM City.
From the Saigon Railway Station, the North-South railway passes through several districts in the north of the city such as District 3, Phu Nhuan and Go Vap. In particular, the railway goes through many arteries which connect the city center to the airport and other districts.
In many inner-city areas, despite warnings of danger at railways, many people still cross the rail. When a train comes, they have to stand close to the wall.
This scene is very common in many areas in Phu Nhuan and Go Vap districts. At intersections between small roads and the railway, people casually walk on the track.
For the rails with fences, people take advantage of the railway corridor to keep their things.

Intersections between roads and
railways are always very dangerous but many points do not have barriers,
