Abstract

This study has the aim to research on global tendency of road traffic safety development in the whole history of about 2 decades of Vietnam. For the great deficiency in the related traffic accidents data, it carries out a comparative analysis based on important relevant official legal documents which had great impact on the social life. Together with the more and more serious development of traffic accidents, it seems that there exists a hidden "5- years rule," by which for each 5 years, the traffic accidents become so critical that the authorities should re-intensify their efforts at a higher level in an attempt to control this big social problem, while the announced main approaches for traffic safety of Vietnam as "All people" and "Comprehensiveness" are basically not different with international well-known "4-E (Engineering, Enforcement, Education and Emergency)" and "Traffic Safety Stakeholders".
