Starting from the afternoon of the 28th, the first wave of passenger flow will be welcomed
According to the analysis of Hubei Provincial Public Security Traffic Management Bureau, it is expected that during the "May Day" holiday this year, the average daily traffic of roads in the province will show a "blowout" growth, an increase of about 7%~9% over the usual day, reaching 830~8.5 million units. On April 28 (the day before the holiday), traffic will peak at about 9.2 million units; Among them, the daily average traffic of expressways increased by about 70%~80% compared with weekdays, reaching 121~1.28 million units. On April 29 (the first day of the holiday), traffic will peak at about 1.5 million units.
There will be a small peak of the first wave of departures from 4 pm to 21 pm on April 28 (the day before the holiday), a travel peak from 9 to 11 am on April 29 (the first day of the holiday), and a return peak from 16 to 21 pm on May 3 (the last day of the holiday).
According to the passenger flow judgment, it is expected that this year's "May Day" holiday, April 28 from 16 to 20 o'clock, April 29 from 8 to 12 o'clock congestion degree is the highest, April 30 to May 3 congestion period is mainly concentrated from 9 to 11 o'clock and 15 to 18 o'clock.
Wuhan, Yichang, Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Enshi, Shiyan and other key tourist cities have concentrated traffic.
Passages in and out of the city, roads around scenic spots, as well as toll stations, service areas, interchange interchanges, bridges, tunnels, construction sections and other nodes, are prone to queue and slow down and even local serious traffic congestion, especially the risk of high-speed congestion around Wuhan such as Hurong, Shanghai-Chongqing, Fuyin, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, Daihuang, Wu'e and other high-speed congestion risks are high.
So, during this year's "May Day" holiday, which sections of Hubei are prone to slow traffic or congestion? Traffic management department forecast:
Holiday travel, these dangers to pay attention to
1. Fatigue driving is harmful, rest well and then go on the road.
At about 8 o'clock on December 5, 2019, a heavy goods vehicle crashed into the central isolation belt in the Huanggang section of Hubei Expressway of Daguang Expressway.
Fortunately, the car did not rush into the opposite lane, did not collide with other vehicles, and there were no casualties. After investigation, it was learned that the driver, Hao, drove alone on the road at 2 a.m. that day, and had been driving continuously for nearly 6 hours at the time of the incident. In the end, the driver was fined 200 yuan and 6 points on the driver's license.
When it comes to safety accidents caused by drowsy driving, there are countless accidents. Can getting enough sleep to avoid drowsy driving? This is a misunderstanding, driving itself is a state of maintaining a fixed posture for a long time, poor blood circulation must cause limb fatigue, and driving on the highway, a single environment, unchanged scenery, driving noise and vibration frequency are a kind of hypnosis, no matter how much sleep is, can not resist the attack of sleepiness, which is the normal physiological response of the human body.
Fatigue-prone periods
Therefore, to avoid fatigue driving, on the basis of ensuring sufficient sleep time and good sleep effect, it is also necessary to develop good eating habits to improve physical fitness. In addition, it is necessary to scientifically arrange the driving time, do not drive for more than 4 hours continuously, and stop and rest for more than 20 minutes; It is best to have more than 2 people driving in turn; Even if you are in a hurry, it is best not to drive more than 8 hours a day. When driving on the highway, you can observe more changes in the surrounding environment, adjust your sitting posture appropriately, and open the windows or sunroof to allow air to circulate, so as to relieve fatigue.
2. Easy violation of the hidden danger, be careful to be punished
On the highway, the speed of the car is fast, and a casual kick of the brake may bring unexpected safety hazards, and it is even more undesirable to stop at will.
Wang Jun, a member of the Hubei High Police Xingshan Brigade Branch, said that stopping on the highway in a non-emergency situation is a serious violation of the traffic order, which is reflected in the relevant regulations of the newly implemented "Measures for the Management of Road Traffic Safety Violations Scores" from April 1. Article 82 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles driving on highways shall not engage in these acts, including reversing, driving in the wrong direction, crossing the central divider and making a U-turn or stopping in the lane; Drive or stop in the emergency lane in non-emergency situations. Anyone who drives a motor vehicle to illegally stop on the highway shall be fined 200 yuan and 9 points on the driver's license according to relevant laws and regulations.
So, it's not an emergency, but don't stop on the highway.
3. The mountain road is rough and complicated, these tips should be kept in mind
Hubei not only has the vast Jianghan Plain, but also has many hills and mountains, Yichang, Enshi, Shennongjia forest areas to the west, Shiyan to the north, Huanggang City in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains to the east, and Wuling Mountain District to the south, so there are many detours, bridges and tunnels on the Hubei Expressway.
Yao Jun, a police officer from the command center of the Xingshan Brigade of Hubei High Police, said that although highways in mountainous areas are heavy and beautiful, they are often due to long tunnels, long slopes and many curves, and once neglected, they will lead to traffic accidents; Moreover, the space in the tunnel is relatively small, the environmental noise is large, the difference between the brightness inside and outside the hole objectively exists, and the vehicle will produce a "black hole" phenomenon after entering the tunnel, once the speed is too fast, it is easy to cause the vehicle to lose control or rear-end incidents.
He suggested that when driving, we must maintain a high degree of mental concentration, reduce the driving speed, pay attention to the road surface indication signs during driving, and drive according to the requirements. When entering and exiting the tunnel, slow down to enter and exit, choose a car to enter, pass according to the situation, turn on the lights and close the window.
4. People and goods are mixed with danger, and vehicles carrying people should not carry goods
It is often mentioned that "when you see a large truck on the highway, try to stay away from it", because the weight is too large, which is a great test for the vehicle braking. If the goods are not loaded according to the regulations, the light will affect the driver's observation of the rear line of sight, the heavy may cause the deformation of the vehicle structure, affect driving safety, once the emergency brake, it will bring fatal harm to the passengers on the car. More seriously, once the vehicle rolls over, the cargo will be mixed with the passengers in the car, coupled with the huge high-speed traffic on holidays, which is extremely detrimental to rescue. According to Article 54 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, "passenger vehicles shall not carry goods except for the luggage rack on the outside of the body and the built-in suitcase. The luggage rack of a passenger car shall not exceed 0.5 metres from the roof and 4 metres from the ground".
Therefore, if you are driving a minibus, don't let it become a "truck", self-driving passengers should also consider their own luggage as appropriate, and the car can not be put down.
5. On rainy days, the road is in poor condition, and you can drive to snacks
According to the forecast of the meteorological department, this year's "May Day" holiday Hubei Province will be sunny and then rainy. Among them, on April 29-30, there was scattered light rain in the cloudy and Enshi area; From the night of May 1 to 3, there was a convective precipitation process in the province, accompanied by short-term heavy precipitation, thunderstorms and strong winds.
Wet and slippery roads on rainy days can easily cause vehicle rear-end collisions, sideslips and rollovers and secondary accidents, especially on highways, urban expressways and sharp curves and steep slopes in rural areas. Therefore, before the driver goes out, be sure to carefully check the condition of the vehicle, pay attention to control the speed during driving, and do not desert.
In view of the above types of dangerous situations, the Hubei traffic police department reminds:
1. Before traveling by car, you should check the status of the vehicle in advance, pay attention to the weather conditions in time, understand the traffic condition information and traffic safety tips, reasonably arrange the travel time and traffic mode, try to avoid the travel peak and night driving, and refuse fatigue driving.
2. If a minor traffic accident occurs while out, remember to "pull over, evacuate the person, and call the police". If the vehicle breaks down on the highway in Hubei Province and needs rescue, please call the unified rescue number: 027-12122; If a traffic accident or emergency occurs, please call the unified traffic accident police number: 027-96122, and the Hubei traffic police will serve you 24 hours a day.
3. Drive to the scenic mountainous area, slow down when encountering sharp bends and steep slopes, long downhills, and waterfront cliff roads, and pay attention to observe vehicles and pedestrians on both sides of the road when passing through rural and mountainous roads. The roads around the scenic area are crowded, so pay attention to avoiding pedestrians and standardizing parking.
4. Production logistics and transportation, to strictly abide by the law, standardized operation, truck drivers must not exceed the limit and overload, fatigue driving, illegal carrying of people, rural van drivers must not overload passengers.
5. During travel, everyone should still maintain a certain degree of vigilance, do a good job of personal protection, wear masks, wash hands frequently, maintain personal hygiene, and maintain social distance.
Thousands of roads, safety first, I wish everyone a pleasant little holiday!
