HO CHI MINH City, Vietnam - January 29, 2015

To support the implementation of the new Road Traffic Law, which was officially promulgated on 9 January, 2015, traffic police attended a workshop in Phnom Penh on 29 January to develop a nationwide action plan for the enforcement of the passenger helmet law. Last month, 2 senior traffic police visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Singapore in order to hear experiences and lessons learned from Vietnamese and Singaporean traffic police on the subject of passenger helmet use enforcement. Traffic police who participated in the study tour, organized by the AIP Foundation, shared their experiences at the workshop, along with police from national and provincial levels to discuss how these best practices can be developed into an action plan that will be applied across Cambodia.
