Crossing the street in Vietnam is easier than you think. One special thing about Vietnam is that we always care about those around us. Therefore, when you cross the street, give them a signal that you will go, and just go straight ahead, don’t hesitate. People will look at you and try to guess your path to avoid you. And never back away; that’s the only thing that will endanger you.

Eye contact is everything.
You always know it’s a tourist when they stop at a crossing and wait for the traffic to stop…it doesn’t…..just walk at a constant speed and direction and the traffic will just go around you…pretty simple really…..
Wow this is a very good joke

It’s real easy. Official statistics from Vietnam’s National Traffic Safety Committee (and reports citing it) indicate that total road traffic deaths average around 17–30 per day in recent years, depending on the period and source:
This scares me and gives me anxiety before I even go 😩. If I carry a big stick, will that scare them🤭
We managed to make it across the street in the cities, including Hanoi and Saigon. We looked for a narrow break, put our hand up and crossed in a determined and steady pace. Oh, yes, we said a little prayer before we started 😊
Realy easy!
And if you have a suit of armor available, that’s the time for it
Things may look at bit busier than this in HCMC, but the same rules apply. 👏👏
