Many shops and eateries in Ho Chi Minh City put various items, including traffic cones, plastic chairs, and even dustbins on the streets to save space for customer parking.
These makeshift space savers can be seen on the roadways across the city.
Traffic cones, plastic chairs, and styrofoam boxes meant to reserve parking spaces typically form long lines about one meter from the sidewalk in front of restaurants and eateries. They are then moved onto the sidewalk once customers show up.
In the meantime, commuters are forced to drive in the wrong lane to avoid these makeshift space savers, creating serious risks for themselves and others.
