(Dan Tri) - Social networks are buzzing with an article about a man who can adjust the traffic lights at the Khuat Duy Tien - Thang Long Avenue intersection. The Hanoi Traffic Police Department has spoken out about this information.
On the evening of February 14, the Hanoi Traffic Police Department said that social media had just spread information that a man could interfere with the traffic light system in the Khuat Duy Tien - Thang Long Avenue area, causing public confusion. The Hanoi Traffic Police Department affirmed that this was false information with no basis.
Authorities explained that the traffic light system operated by the Hanoi Traffic Police Department is a closed system, strictly confidential. Adjusting the light cycle can only be done through the computer at the traffic control center, and cannot be interfered with by external devices.

On the other hand, the technical cabinet of the lighting system is reinforced for safety and only serves maintenance, repair and repair work; the lighting cycle cannot be adjusted.
"Spreading false information not only causes misunderstandings but also affects the work of ensuring traffic order and safety," a representative of the Hanoi Traffic Police Department emphasized.
According to the Hanoi Traffic Police Department, recently, there has been a lot of sensational information, clickbait or quoting, providing one-sided and incomplete information on social networks. When accessing information on social networks, people need to be alert to verify, not post or share false information; choose to follow information from official news agencies and newspapers.
When discovering information with false content or distortion of the truth, people need to immediately report it to the authorities for handling according to the provisions of the law.
