    Never ever run when crossing a street in Saigon. Just step out in the road, walk slowly but firmly. They do know how to avoid you!!

    Personally, the traffic in Saigon leaves little to be desired. Motorcycles are the kings of roads and you will see hundreds of them at one time. When the traffic lights go red, some motorcyclists will even go on the pedestrian walkway just to get through!! Crossing the roads is also a big challenge because the traffic will keep going but somehow they sort of manage to avoid the pedestrians.

    The traffic in Ho Chi Minh is very bad... very messy... very chaotic!! Take my words, it really is. It consists mainly of motorcycles, and drivers tend to ignore the traffic rules there. Crossing roads is therefore a challenge for people like us used to traffic lights. The trick is to follow the Vietnamese - step confidently out into the road and cross at a slow but steady pace. The traffic will just flow miraculously around you.... somehow. :)

    Traffic: Pedestrian signals

  • This last time in HCMC I noticed more new pedestrian signals being installed for "walk" / "dont walk" Remember that such traffic controls dont really apply to motorbikes. Be careful not to focus on the "walk" signal and step out as even if most traffic stops, there is the typical errant or wrong way motorbike that is often coming - sometimes on the sidewalk and sometimes at fast speed.
