Major roads across the capital have been left clogged with traffic as vehicles crawl along at a snail's pace on the final working days before the Lunar New Year festival, known locally as Tet.

Travel demand increases in the days leading up to Tet holiday, resulting in rising numbers of private vehicles hitting the roads, thereby leading to greater congestion at rush hour.
