Relevant institutions have analyzed and predicted that the public has a strong desire to travel during the Qingming Festival this year, and the number of people going out to pay homage and go out to enjoy flowers will increase significantly. So what are the characteristics of roads and waterways when traveling on Qingming Festival this year?
CCTV reporter Chen Qiao: Qingming Festival is the solar term for worshiping and outings and enjoying flowers. People traveling will bring considerable pressure to road traffic.
This year's Qingming Festival holiday, passenger cars with seven seats and less than seven seats will continue to enjoy the free access policy.
The characteristics of traveling during this year's Qingming Festival holiday are first of all, there are many cars and people, which is the primary feature of this year's Qingming Festival holiday. Analysis and judgment of the Ministry of Transport Road Network Center shows that this year's Qingming Festival holiday is expected to hit a record high in the same period. Among them, self-driving passenger cars account for a high proportion, and the flow of new energy vehicles will increase significantly.
The second feature is the obvious tide characteristics of road trips. The third feature is the high traffic pressure around famous attractions. During the Qingming Festival holiday, public worship, outings and other activities were superimposed, and passenger flow in parks, suburban tourist attractions, cemeteries and other areas increased, and traffic pressure on surrounding roads increased.
The fourth feature is that the road sections are prone to congestion and busy service areas are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Toll stations across the country are currently ready. In order to ensure smooth green travel, the local transportation and power supply departments have carried out a "dragnet-style" hidden danger inspection on charging facilities in key areas such as highway service areas under management. Ensure the stable operation of the core components of the charging pile, guide the car owners to standardize the operation of equipment, and shorten the single charging time.
In terms of waterways, from March 21 to 23, the water passenger transport volume of Putuo Mountain Scenic Area in Zhoushan, Zhejiang alone reached 370,000. It is estimated that the number of passengers on Putuo Mountain on the water during the Qingming Festival this year will reach 400,000.
