TL;DR
Reports suggest there is no reliable schedule for traffic police checks in Nha Trang: patrols may appear in different parts of the city, including the north, central area and the Cam Ranh road. Carry valid driving licences and vehicle documents whenever riding or driving.
The newest report mentions checks in several areas of Nha Trang: the northern part of the city, the centre and the road towards Cam Ranh. It stresses that patrol locations and days vary, so travellers should not rely on a fixed timetable.
One report specifically warns against riding without a licence. If renting a scooter or car, carry the appropriate valid driving licence and the vehicle paperwork.
Earlier observations likewise describe checks as unpredictable: patrols may be seen several times on some days and rarely on others. The practical approach is to follow traffic rules on every trip rather than choosing routes based on checkpoint rumours.
