In order to create a more comfortable medical experience for patients and their families, Shanghai First People's Hospital (South) has recently optimized the admission parking plan and actively sought to solve the problem of difficult medical parking.
The reporter learned from the Shanghai First People's Hospital (South) that before October 2020, the hospital parking lot could accommodate 2,100 vehicles at the same time, and the number of vehicles entering and exiting in a single day reached 6,000. With the advancement of the second phase expansion project of Shanghai First People's Hospital (South), one of the major livelihood projects of the "Five New Cities", the original parking spaces were temporarily occupied due to construction, and now there are only more than 1,100 parking spaces left, which exacerbates the parking contradiction.
Entrance to Tongxin Road
In order to alleviate the problem of parking difficulties during the transition period, since mid-April, the hospital has encouraged staff vehicles not to enter the hospital, and at the same time opened an entrance for social vehicles to enter the hospital to strengthen guidance and diversion.
Wenxiang Road Passage
At present, Gate 2 and Gate 9 of the hospital on Xinsongjiang Road, Gate 5 of Wenxiang Road and Gate 8 of Tongxin Road are all open to public vehicles, and Gate 3 of Wenxiang Road has also added a discharge channel. The hospital actively coordinated with the departments of public security, transportation, greening the city, and local streets, and opened up special storage pond lanes for entering the hospital on Xinsongjiang Road, Wenxiang Road and Tongxin Road to alleviate the traffic pressure on municipal roads.
New Songjiang Road queuing passage
In order to meet the parking needs of the staff of the hospital, the hospital specially rented a space on Chenhua Road for parking staff vehicles and arranged shuttle buses to pick up and drop off regularly. The hospital has also added parking spaces for non-motorized vehicles to encourage employees to travel green. As a result of these measures, the time required to drive patients to the hospital during peak hours can be reduced to 10 to 15 minutes.
The hospital reminds citizens who need to be admitted to the hospital to park their homes, pay attention to the roadside signs, take the queue passage on the right as soon as possible, and pay attention to avoiding pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles.
