His party also instructed them not to play with or protect certain groups or mass organizations that manage illegal parking on some roads.

Therefore, he called on residents to comply with traffic signs by not parking motorcycles on the road, causing traffic jams.

"We also put up socialization banners to urge residents not to park carelessly," he closed.
