There is a distinguishing characteristic between traffic flow in Vietnam (and in many other Asian countries) and those in developed countries: two-wheeled vehicles (so-called motorcycles) consist a high percentage in the road traffic system. Motorcycles, for their special advantages, play a dominant role in the traffic flow in Vietnam cities, leading to the context of traffic depending on motorcycle (so-called motorcycle dependent cities- MDCs). The transportation system in MDCs is facing with a lot of chaotics and problems, such as congestion, pollution and traffic accidents. Recently, there have been a lot of traffic control measurements conducted in the effort of solving the problems. Unfortunately, there is still very little that cities know about managing this mode. This article describes work undertaken to provide a better understanding of motos and what might be done to better position their role in providing urban mobility. Lessons learned and potential solutions for Vietnam could be widely informative across East Asia and other regions where developing cities are facing similar challenges.
