On December 22, 2021, the Government issues the Decree No. 117/2021/ND-CP amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Government's Decree No. 11/2010/ND-CP dated February 24, 2010, prescribing the management and protection of road infrastructure facilities.
As in previous regulations, roads to be connected to national highways include: Provincial, district, commune and urban roads; Special-use roads; Collector roads. According to the new regulations, roads from areas and works serving national defense and security and socio-economic development shall also be connected to national highways.
Also in accordance with this Decree, roads from houses can only be connected to the national highway through feeder roads and collector roads. When forming or expanding the administrative boundary of an urban area, the provincial-level People's Committees must use the existing local road system or build a collector road along the national highway in order to minimize the direct connection to the national highway.
This Decree takes effect on February 15, 2022.
