HCMC is expected to make 22 downtown streets off-limits to vehicles in the next three years to make them pedestrian-friendly and promote tourism.

The city Department of Transport has proposed to the people’s committee that the Cong Truong Quoc Te Roundabout in District 1 and sections of Pham Ngoc Thach, Cong xa Paris, Dong Khoi, Phan Chu Trinh, and Phan Boi Chau should be made pedestrians-only streets by 2023.

Access to Nguyen An Ninh and Luu Van Lang streets is soon set to be limited for vehicles.
