2 Road Area & Traffic Index Traffic inefficiency Index One-way traffic Time (minutes)-lhs Traffic Inefficiency Index-RHS HCMC traffic index is still the best among its peers. One-way traffic time is relatively low in HCMC (3 mins) while much higher in Ha Noi (45 mins). HCMC and Hanoi have similar land portions for transport to emerging regional cities but much lower than developed cities.
