Spring is a good time to visit the garden and embrace nature. Compared with the bustling city parks, the country parks with few people and a quiet environment are favored by many citizens. However, the traffic situation around some country parks is not optimistic, and on weekends, tourists flock to the park, and it is quite common to see chaotic parking and difficult access.
On the weekend, there was a traffic jam outside the northeast gate of Higashikoguchi Urban Leisure Park/Photographed by reporters
On Saturday evening, the road outside the northeast gate of Dongxiaokou Urban Leisure Park in Changping District was congested with vehicles. A citizen got out of the car and began directing traffic.
The road is close to the river, itself is relatively narrow, barely enough for two cars to pass in parallel, and it is also close to the entrance and exit of the park parking lot and the small bridge across the river, where vehicles and parking lot vehicles are intertwined, blocking the road tightly. A citizen who had come to the park by car was about to go home, but was blocked at the exit of the parking lot:
Citizen: Don't come again, you will be blocked when you come today, you will have to be blocked when you go back, and you can't go as soon as you stop on both sides of the road.
A courier in charge of the surrounding area, who was also stuck in traffic, said:
Courier: This road is relatively narrow and blocked, don't take this road.
The reporter asked a security guard at the northeast gate of the park:
Reporter: Is there an arrangement for someone to maintain order?
Security Guard: Yes, Saturday and Sunday, but he got off work early.
A row of vehicles was parked on the road outside Higashi-Koguchi Urban Leisure Park/photographed by reporters
The two gates of Higashi-Koguchi Urban Leisure Park are on the north side, and the east-west path at the entrance is close to the river, and two small bridges across the river with a width of four or five meters are connected to the road, and tourists need to cross two small bridges to enter and exit. The entrance is along the river and the road is narrow, and the natural traffic conditions in the park are not very good, and to add insult to injury, the road along the river is also full of vehicles. The reporter saw at the scene that the vehicles parked on the side of the road could not be seen at a glance, and the remaining space on the road was only enough for one car to pass, and it was very difficult to drive the wrong car. The park's security guard said:
Security guard: This road can't be widened, there is no way to manage it, and there is no place to pick up the car.
In fact, there are parking lots near both entrances of the park for visitors to park for free. Several tourists said that on weekends there are many people, and if the parking lot is full, they will park their cars on the side of the road. Some tourists said that they had been parked on the side of the road and had never entered the parking lot.
Tourist: We did that every time, and we didn't go into the parking lot. It's all a car, who cares about this.
The security guard at the entrance of the park said that there were many "zombie cars" parked in the parking lot and crowding out parking spaces, and the park was trying to find a way to solve it.
Security guards: Now there is parking, the parking lot will be charged in a few days, and the roadside parking will be controlled in the future, unified planning, and the car will definitely be easy to go.
Vehicles were parked on the side of Huaifang Road outside Nanyuan Forest Wetland Park
The Nanyuan Forest Wetland Park in Fengtai District has also attracted many citizens to visit, and this country park also has narrow roads and random parking around it. At the scene, the reporter saw at the scene over the weekend that at least two parking lots were built along the road near the west gate of the park, and there were still some vehicles parked on the not spacious Huaifang Road when there were many vacant spaces in the parking lot. Nearby residents said:
Resident: I guess it's all temporary, so you don't have to pay for parking.
The staff at the gate of the park said:
Staff: Parking on the side of the road may be because there is no charge. We take care of it, but we don't care about it when we get off work.
The reporter reported the parking problems of the two parks to the management unit, and the staff of the Huitian Regional Park Management Center in Changping District responded that the parking lot management of Dongxiaokou Urban Leisure Park will be strengthened, and the traffic situation in the park will also be improved with the construction of the surrounding planned roads.
Staff: There is a charge management for the parking lot, and there is a limit on tourist parking and long-term parking, and the situation may be better. On weekends, there are also traffic teams and our security guards at the gate to conduct traffic diversion, mainly because the flow of people is too large on weekends. After the nearby planned road is repaired, parking on the side of the road will also relieve the traffic pressure in the park.
The staff of the relevant departments of the Dongxiaokou Town Government of Changping District responded that they will take multiple measures to control the traffic congestion problem near the Dongxiaokou Urban Leisure Park: first, improve the management level of the park parking lot, and the existing parking lot will be officially charged for operation and management after May 1, clean up the zombie cars that have occupied the parking lot for a long time, and provide more effective parking spaces for park visitors. The second is to standardize the problem of random parking on both sides of the road through the landscape design of the embankment road. The third is to strengthen traffic guidance during peak periods such as weekends and holidays. Fourth, strengthen publicity and guidance, lock vehicles for illegal parking, and carry out criticism, education and punishment.
The staff of the Nanyuan Forest Wetland Park Management Office in Fengtai District said that in the future, a new parking lot with a more affordable price will be built, and a variety of measures will be taken to solve the parking problem.
Staff: First discourage (those who park indiscriminately), and if they don't listen, they may take pictures and report them. We are also in several parking lots in United Village now, and we plan to open a new parking lot with the integration of resources, which may be a little rougher and cheaper.
