Jaywalking in Hanoi Traffic, Vietnam

In the dense, bustling streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the constant, flowing river of scooters presents a unique hazard for uncertain tourists. The key to navigating this traffic is a steady, predictable pace, allowing riders to anticipate and flow around pedestrians. However, when visitors panic and freeze mid-crossing, they break this critical rhythm. This sudden stop causes immediate chaos, leading to swerving pile-ups or direct, high-speed impacts. These collisions can launch a pedestrian with fatal force. The tragedy underscores that in Hanoi’s vibrant chaos, hesitation is more dangerous than confidently moving with the traffic’s disorganized but consistent flow.
