Recently, the use of pavements and roadbeds has become a habit, becoming the main source of income for many households and individuals. Therefore, in today’s topic, let’s find out how to legally use pavements in Da Nang city.
The law provisions on the use of streets and other activities on the streets.
Pursuant to Article 36 of the Law on Road Traffic in 2008, which provides for the use of street and other activities on the streets:
“Article 36. Use of streets and other activities on streets
- Roadbeds and pavements are used only for traffic purposes;
- Other activities on streets must comply with Clause 1, Article 35 of this Law; in special cases, temporary use of parts of roadbeds and pavements for other purposes is subject to regulations of provincial-level People’s Committees, but must not affect traffic order and safety.”

Accordingly, the law provisions on the management and temporary use of pavements for purposes other than traffic on roads in Da Nang city are prescribed as follows:
