Roads are the blood vessels of a city, they connect the development veins of the city, and ensure the smooth operation of all parts of the city. Recently, some citizens have reported that some roads in Chengdu are unreasonable, and there will be a bus lane when a turn, or a normal motor lane suddenly becomes a bus lane, and a straight line becomes only a left turn, resulting in a large number of drivers misjudging emergency lane changes. In this regard, the reporter recently went to some points to interview the views of citizens and drivers on the spot.
Normal lanes "mutate" bus lanes
At 2 p.m. on April 19, the reporter came to the junction of Duyuan Street and Section 4 of Hongxing Road in Jinjiang District. Due to its location in the heart of the city, there are many vehicles coming and going. There are 4 motor lanes in one direction from the fourth section of Hongxing Road to the intersection of Duyuan Street, and the traffic flow at this section of the intersection is composed of two parts, one part is the vehicle that turns right from the section of Chengshou East Avenue to the auxiliary road of the fourth section of Hongxing Road, and the other part is the vehicle coming through the tunnel. Due to the establishment of 4 motor vehicle lanes, no serious congestion has been observed so far.
The reporter noticed that although there were no traffic lights, there was a lot of congestion in the section after passing the intersection of Duyuan Street. The rightmost lane of the original 4 motor lanes was suddenly changed to a bus lane, which caught many drivers "off guard", some drivers who are familiar with the road conditions will change lanes in advance, and some will directly "force" the bus lane, and go straight along the bus lane to the next intersection. Most drivers have to walk a distance in the bus lane to find opportunities to change lanes because of the difficulty of changing lanes, which leads to frequent congestion on the road and brings certain safety hazards.
In addition, a set of electronic eyes above the flyover is installed at the junction of Hongxing Road and Tuyuan Street. After asking the nearby traffic police, the other party said that the electronic eye here would capture the illegal behavior of taking the bus lane.
The reporter learned from the doorman of a hotel near the intersection that the intersection has always been in a state of congestion, "like noon now, there are a lot of cars coming and going, not to mention the morning and evening rush hours, and several roads are basically blocked." The doorman said that there are often some small accidents at this entrance, "like just now there was a bus and a car rubbed a little, parked on the non-motorized lane on the entrance, and some battery cars went to borrow the bus lane to ride, and the road was even more blocked." In addition to some accidents, many online car-hailing drivers often get off at this intersection, "because it is relatively close to Chunxi Road, there are many tourists around, and many people take taxis or get off here, and some online car-hailing drivers will occupy the bus lane to temporarily pick up and drop off passengers." ”
The reporter noticed that the bus lane is from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., which basically covers the peak hours of traffic.
At this time, an online car-hailing car happened to use the bus lane to drop off passengers, but when he wanted to change to other lanes, he encountered congestion, "It's like this every time, I'm used to it." The driver said that he would pass through this intersection almost every day, "Every time I cross this intersection, the lane will become a bus lane, and the original 4 roads will become 3, which must be easy to block!"
The straight lane changes to a left turn lane
At about 3 p.m. on April 28, the reporter came to Shuhan Road, Jinniu District, and investigated the section from Shuhan Road East Station to Yipin Tianxia Station of the subway. It was found that in the section of the Tongyou Road bus station, there are a total of 4 lanes, the leftmost lane starts from the ground with a straight arrow sign, and until the next intersection, the leftmost straight road becomes a left-turn road, and several cars change lanes to the right road, "It's okay that there are not many vehicles at this time, but it will be very congested in the morning and evening rush hours." The doorman of a community on the side of the road told reporters that it is very congested during the peak period of daily commuting, "There are many vehicles going straight to the far left, and they need to change lanes halfway through, which causes congestion." ”
The follow-up reporter continued to check along Shuhan Road in the direction of Yipin Tianxia, and found that the leftmost lane was still going straight at the starting point, and it had become a left-turn lane before the intersection. By the time Shuhan Road reached the second ring road, it had been increased to five lanes, but an additional left-turn lane was added to the original lane, and no straight lane was added.
This section of the road is also the only way for Mr. Ma to commute to work, and he has a deep understanding of the situation on this road section, "Originally, there was a lot of traffic during rush hour, the rightmost lane was the bus lane, and the leftmost lane could only turn left, leaving only two lanes for vehicles going straight." He said that some drivers will forcibly change lanes when they find that they are taking the wrong road, making the road very congested, "I hope that some left-turning lanes can be allowed to go straight at the same time, so that the road is as smooth as possible." ”
Turn right and change into a bus lane
There are a total of three lanes in the Xiashahepu Street section of Jinjiang District, and the rightmost lane is a bus lane. Turn right from the side of Daliangshan Road to the T-junction of the Xiashahe Pau Street section, which originally needs to cross the bus lane of the Xiashahe Paving Road section, so there is a sign that allows social vehicles to pass through the whole time, and many vehicles can borrow the bus lane to go straight, reducing the congestion at the T-shaped intersection.
"It's much better now than before!" a car owner parked nearby told reporters that the bus lane here was not allowed to enter before, "A long time ago, the rightmost to the bus lane was a special lane, and it was not allowed to go from here, and there were many cars turning right from Daliangshan Road, and they were often blocked." The reporter noticed that there are a total of 5 motor lanes on the side of Daliangshan Road, three of which are right-turn lanes. "It's equivalent to three right-turn lanes, and you have to grab two lanes with the car going straight on the road. The driver said that he would pass through here every day when commuting to work, "Now there are still some drivers who don't pay attention to the signs and don't dare to take the rightmost road, but gradually some drivers have noticed, hoping to ease some congestion in the future." ”
At the intersection of Shuhan Road and Shurong Road in Jinniu District, there is also the phenomenon of right turning bus lanes. When turning right from Shurong Road to Shuhan Road, because the bus lane at the interchange is a solid line, you need to cross the bus lane to enter the second lane on the right, and there is no "buffer zone", "because you can't take the bus lane, you have to be very careful of the straight vehicles behind you every time you turn right, and sometimes you can only wait on the bus lane for a while, and then cross the solid line to change over." A driver who was waiting for a right turn told reporters.
At present, this newspaper has opened a party newspaper hotline 962211, and the general public is welcome to call to report the unreasonable road marking situation, and we will contact the relevant functional departments to promote timely rectification.
