In the past two days, the peak of passengers' return trips, the road is slippery in rainy days, and there is a danger of rocks rolling down and landslides in mountainous areas.

　　Located in the western part of Jiangxi, the Shanglian Expressway is one of the main highways connecting Jiangxi and Hunan. During the "May Day" period, the traffic volume of the expressway section increased by more than 50% compared with usual. Because the highway passes through the geological disaster-prone area, there are many tunnels and bridges, and the geological environment conditions in the area are complex. Under the influence of heavy rainstorms, the possibility of sand and gravel rolling down and even geological disasters in the mountains along the road increases, the traffic police remind that drivers and friends driving through this kind of mountain roads should understand the road conditions in advance, increase vigilance, and try to avoid driving at night.

　　Kang Sifang, the second-level sergeant of the sixth brigade of the fourth detachment directly under the Jiangxi high-speed police: When encountering a landslide, you should control the speed, turn on the lights, pay attention to the road conditions, avoid driving forward, try to move away from the danger zone to the rear, and call for rescue.

　　The traffic police reminded the driver that when driving to the toll station, you must queue up to pass, do not intersperse with robbery, and do not maliciously stop driving. In case of an accident, the car pulls over, and the person leaves the car, and the police are called immediately.

　　Yang Hai, Squadron Leader of the Third Squadron of the First Brigade of the Nanjing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau: We must deal with it calmly, do not brake sharply to change lanes, try to park the car smoothly within the emergency lane, turn on the hazard warning flashing lights, and set up danger warning signs 150 meters away from the rear of the vehicle, and evacuate all personnel to outside the safety guardrail.

　　Toll roads are exempt from tolls until 24 o'clock today

　　Seven seats below (including seven seats) small passenger car toll road toll road free policy will end at 24 o'clock today, today drive back friends pay attention to advance planning, if close to 24 o'clock, you are still driving on the highway, how can you take advantage of the free passage policy, but also return home safely and smoothly?

　　The toll free of charge on the expressway is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the exit toll lane. Towards the end of the holiday, if your driving time is close to the end of the free period, that is, 24 o'clock on the last day of the holiday on May 5, as long as you have already stepped off the highway during the free period, you will not be charged a highway toll, but if you get off the highway after the free period, you will be charged a full fee.

　　Yang Hai, Squadron Leader of the Third Squadron of the First Brigade of the Nanjing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau: Try not to get off the highway at around 24 o'clock. If time is tight, we can exit at the nearest highway exit and then re-enter the highway.

　　Get off the highway from the nearest toll booth before the end of the free passage period, and enjoy the free passage policy for the previous trip. After getting on the highway again, even if you miss the free passage period, you only need to pay the toll for the next part of the expressway.

　　Drivers should try to avoid the peak traffic congestion period, and do not speed or fatigue driving for the free passage period of "stuck points", so as to avoid accidents and the gains outweigh the losses.
