The Ching Ming holiday is coming to an end, and many citizens who went out to visit relatives or play have returned. At around 10 a.m. on April 6, there was a strong thunderstorm in Foshan. The reporter saw in the Shabeinan service area of Guangfo Expressway that there were only a few vacant spaces in the parking lot, and many car owners chose to come to the service area to take shelter from the rain. After parking the car, everyone ran indoors with umbrellas and waited for the weather to improve.
Travelers are waiting for the weather to improve.
This holiday, Mr. Li went to Zhaoqing to play, and in order to avoid the return passenger flow in the afternoon and evening, he set off early and arrived in Shenzhen before noon. "I set off at 8:20 a.m., and due to a sudden rainstorm on the way, I came to the Shabeinan service area at 9:50 a.m. to stop, during which the road was quite smooth," Mr. Li said, because he drove alone, he would come to the service area to rest in bad weather, "After all, the road is slippery and the vision is not clear, which can easily lead to safety accidents." ”
Mr. Li took a short break in the service area to relieve fatigue.
As an important fulcrum of the intersection of Guangzhou and Foshan, the Shabei South Service Area is an important point for Guangzhou to travel to and from all parts of the Pearl River Delta. On the morning of April 6, Uncle Lu got up early and rushed back to Foshan Sanshui from Guangzhou to visit his mother. "I received a warning text message, but I still want to come back. Uncle Lu told reporters that after the sudden rainstorm, he left the toll station in Lishui and came to the Shabeinan service area. "The main reason is that the wind and rain are heavy, and there is a lot of water on the road, which is very unsafe. ”
Uncle Lu called to inform his family that due to the weather, the journey would be longer.
In addition to visiting relatives and going out, the Shabeinan service area also gathers many migrant workers who are struggling to work. Master Kong is one of them. In the early morning of the 6th, Master Kong drove a large truck from Nanning and went to the service area to eat and rest at about half past 10.

Master Kong hurriedly finished "showing" a bowl of noodles and set off again.
At 10:40 a.m. on April 6, there was water accumulation on the road surface of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai West Line Expressway (southbound).
During the Qingming holiday, the increase in traffic on the highway also brought reception pressure to the service area.
