Today, AutoNavi Map, together with a number of traffic management departments across the country, released the "2024 May Day Holiday Travel Forecast Report" to provide a scientific reference for the general public's holiday travel. In this report, in addition to the core content such as the prediction of national high-speed peak hours and the prediction of slow-moving sections of national high-speed congestion, the content of the prediction of popular destinations for self-driving in the country has also been further subdivided.
During the "May Day" holiday, it is expected that 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on May 1 will be the peak hour for high-speed departures
Affected by the free passage of expressways during the "May Day" holiday and the concentration of travel demand, it is expected that the overall traffic pressure of high-speed departures across the country will be higher than that of return trips. The report predicts that 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 1 is the peak time for outbound congestion, and the peak occurs from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. It is expected that 15 o'clock on May 4 and 19 o'clock on May 5 and 14 o'clock to 18 o'clock on May 5 are the peak hours of return congestion, and its peak will appear at 16 o'clock on May 4 and 17 o'clock on May 5 and 15 o'clock to 16 o'clock on May 5.
The top 10 list of the most congested sections of the national high-speed journey has been released
The report predicts that from the distribution of high-speed congestion-prone road sections across the country, the congestion-prone road sections mainly appear in the eastern region. The most congested section of the Shanghai S20 Outer Ring Expressway (Huaxia Elevated Road to Wuzhou Avenue Overpass) is the section with an average speed of only 5 km/h throughout the day. Among the top 10 high-speed outbound congestion-prone sections, Jiangsu Province occupies 3 seats, namely the G1522 Changtai Expressway (Changshu East Toll Station to Dongbang Hub) section in Suzhou City, the S39 Jiangyi Expressway (Yangzhou Guangling Service Area to Zhengyi Hub) section in Yangzhou City, and the G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway (Qiaoqi Hub to Jiangyin Bridge) section in Wuxi City. The most congested sections of the national high-speed return are also mainly distributed in the eastern and southern regions, among which the most congested sections are the G0425 Guangao Expressway (public service area to Tanwei interchange) section of Zhongshan City and Guangzhou City, with an average speed of only 13 km/h throughout the day. It is followed by the section of Shanghai G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway (Beiheng Bridge to Changxing Island Service Area) and Nantong S19 Tongxi Expressway (Tongyang Canal Bridge to Shanghai-Sutong Yangtze River Highway and Railway Bridge), with an average speed of less than 22 km/h throughout the day.
