Small truck selling fruits on the street in Hanoi during rush hour
The phenomenon of small trucks selling goods, especially fruits, is becoming increasingly common on many streets in Hanoi. During rush hour, it’s easy to spot these small trucks parked on the side of the road, displaying a variety of fruits, attracting a large number of buyers. However, this activity also causes many problems related to traffic and urban order.
Small Truck Street Vendors: Convenient But Risky

Congested street with parked trucks selling goods, posing a traffic hazard
The appearance of small trucks selling goods on the streets brings convenience to buyers, with affordable prices and no need to travel to the market. Buyers can simply stop their vehicles on the side of the road to choose and buy goods. For sellers, doing business on small trucks helps save on rental costs for premises and kiosks.
However, parking small trucks on main roads, especially during peak hours, causes serious traffic jams. The concentration of buyers on the side of the road also poses a risk of traffic accidents. Furthermore, this activity also detracts from the urban landscape and affects social order and safety.
What Solutions for Small Truck Street Vending?
The authorities have increased patrols and handled violations. In just 5 days, 18 cases were fined with a total amount of 15.4 million VND. However, due to the mobile nature of this type of business, handling it is difficult. When law enforcement is absent, the small trucks continue to operate.
To thoroughly solve this problem, close coordination between functional agencies, local authorities, and the people is needed. It is necessary to strengthen propaganda, raise awareness of traffic participants, and not buy or sell goods on the streets. At the same time, there is a need for planning solutions to arrange reasonable business locations to meet the needs of the people, while ensuring urban order and creating favorable conditions for business activities to take place smoothly. Searching for and buying small trucks for sale around Hanoi to serve business purposes must comply with the provisions of the law.
Conclusion
The problem of small trucks selling goods on the streets in Hanoi needs to be thoroughly resolved to ensure traffic safety, urban aesthetics, and social security. In addition to handling violations, there need to be synchronous and long-term solutions, aimed at creating conditions for people to do business legally and civilly.
