Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 31 (Reporter Ren Qinqin) Qingming Festival is approaching, and the Ministry of Public Security issued a traffic safety reminder for the 2025 Qingming Festival holiday on the 31st. Long and short-distance traffic is intertwined and superimposed, and the risk of temperatures is prominent. Driving requires great attention to road traffic safety.

The Ministry of Public Security has analyzed and judged the characteristics of traffic accidents during the Qingming Festival holiday in recent years. During the Qingming Festival holiday in 2025, the traffic flow of roads in 2025 was intertwined and superimposed. The temperature turned warmer in early April, and the flow of worship, outings, and working and agricultural flows were intertwined and superimposed. The road traffic environment of expressways, main passages in the city, and main and secondary roads in the suburbs will be more complex, and the traffic safety risks will be high. Road accidents around the cemetery are prone to occur, and road conditions in suburban and mountainous areas are poor. Some people choose to travel during the morning hours to avoid peaks, and there is a risk of vehicles falling into the water or falling over. The risk of highway traffic accidents has increased, and logistics freight is currently busy. The probability of slowing down in some highway exits is high, and the risk of rear-end collisions and scratch accidents has increased. Rural collective work and agricultural travel are prominent, and passenger cars and vans are illegally overloaded, and light trucks, tricycles and tractors are in danger of causing accidents. The safety risks of traveling in local rainy days are increasing, which is prone to rear-end collisions and side-sliding accidents.

The Ministry of Public Security reminds that when traveling by yourself during the holiday, you should pay attention to local weather and road conditions in advance, plan your travel time and route reasonably, and try to travel off-peak hours; when driving, you should concentrate, drive without being distracted, drive at speed, and drive without fatigue; remember that "don't drive after drinking, and don't drink when driving", and do not drive drunk. When driving on highways, you must always maintain a safe distance. When encountering congestion or slow-moving sections, do not intersperse at will, and do not occupy emergency lanes; if a traffic accident or failure occurs, "the car is pulled back, the person is evacuated, and the alarm is called"; do not brake suddenly, stop suddenly, change lanes, or reversing risk at the exit. When driving to the cemetery, when encountering sharp bends, long downhills, or roads near water and cliffs, you must always maintain a safe distance and slow down; pay attention to avoid pedestrians and park properly to avoid causing man-made congestion. When traveling on a bus during the holiday, do not take "black cars" outside the station to solicit passengers and group purchases, overloaded passenger cars or non-passenger vehicles. Fasten your seat belt when riding, and take the initiative to report illegal behaviors.
