On August 5, the first Monday morning peak was ushered in after the main line of the eastern section of the Beiheng Passage was fully completed, which was also the first big test after the "full pass" of the east and west sections of the Beiheng Corridor. After driving to the scene, the reporter found that because some drivers are not the most clear about the entrance and road indication signs, and ground indication markings, there are many "looking drivers" who slow down at the intersection, which affects the passage of vehicles to a certain extent. At the same time, several congestion points that emerge during peak hours also need special attention.
Some intersections appear "looking at drivers"
Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, the reporter drove in from the entrance of Luding Road in the western section of the Beiheng Passage, and drove all the way to the exit of Zhoujiazui Road in the eastern section. Although it was the morning rush hour, the traffic was relatively stable, and the speed was basically maintained at 50 to 60 yards.
After passing the exit of Jiangsu Road, the reporter's car continued to drive forward in the left two lanes according to the navigation reminder, and then drove through the ramps of Hengfeng Road and Zhejiang North Road in turn. During this period, there was a slight increase in traffic flow, mainly concentrated in the direction of the north-south elevated north-south viaduct of the Beiheng Passage. The reporter found that because some drivers are not very familiar with the road conditions, when the vehicles driving on the left need to enter the north-south elevated exit, they found that the leftmost lane on the ground is a solid line and cannot change lanes, and some drivers have a solid line to change lanes, and some vehicles begin to slow down, hesitating whether to move forward, which affects the follow-up traffic.

However, this situation only lasted for a short time, and the reporter soon entered the main line of the eastern section of the new Beiheng Passage, even during the morning rush hour, there is not much traffic here, and the speed can always be maintained at 60 yards, which is very smooth. Whether it is the exit of Xinjian Road or the exit of Huangxing Road, there is no queue of traffic. The reporter soon arrived at the exit of Zhoujiazui Road, and not far ahead is the Zhoujiazui Road Tunnel, and then drive 2 kilometers to connect with the Middle Ring Road.

So, what about the return trip? At less than 9 o'clock, the reporter drove in the opposite direction and entered from the entrance of Zhoujiazui Road in the eastern section of the Beiheng Passage, and the road was still smooth. However, when the car drove east to west to the north-south elevated link, the speed slowed down suddenly, and a long queue formed on the two lanes on the right. The reporter found that although it was past the morning rush hour at this time, the traffic flow at the exit had not been low. It is reported that this is related to the traffic flow in and out of the Shanghai Station of the ground railway, as well as the large traffic flow of the north-south elevated ramp.
The reporter found that in addition to the short-term congestion at this exit, there is also a short-term slowdown congestion on the Tianmu Road turntable due to the instantaneous high traffic flow. However, overall, the North Cross Corridor was able to cope with the first Monday morning peak test after the "all-in" approach.
There is a short-term slowing situation on the Tianmu turntable
According to the traffic police department, during the morning rush hour on Monday today, the main line of the Beiheng Passage is basically stable and smooth, and the east-west traffic is about seventy or eighty percent, and the Tianmu turntable has a short-term slow-down situation, and the west-to-east traffic does not tend to be saturated. At the same time, the opening of the eastern section of the Beiheng Corridor has significantly diverted the traffic of the Yan'an Elevated Expressway, especially the traffic flow from the west side of the North-South Elevated Highway to Yan'an Elevated Highway has been significantly reduced.
"According to the predicted congestion points in the early stage, we focused on the traffic situation of the exit of Huangxing Road and Tianmu Turntable on the south side, and carried out diversion according to the actual situation. At the same time, we have also strengthened 'video + live' patrols across the line, and prepared sufficient emergency support forces such as tractors to deal with emergencies in a timely manner. Zhang Wei, captain of the Beiheng Temporary Management Brigade of the Elevated Detachment, introduced.

In Xinjian Road, Zhoujiazui Road, Hongkou District, due to the complex road traffic conditions there, especially the traffic flow from the exit of Xinjian Road of the Beiheng Passage to the Xinjian Road Tunnel, intersects with the traffic flow of the original surface road, and there is a certain slowdown during the morning rush hour. The Hongkou traffic police increased the number of guards and patrols along Zhoujiazui Road and Hailun Road, strengthened guidance and guidance, and vehicles at the scene passed in an orderly manner.
According to Liu Yi, the captain of the first brigade of the Hongkou traffic police, "in the early stage, we have distributed graphic leaflets to residents in nearby communities, and informed in detail about the changes in traffic organization and travel suggestions near Xinjian Road on Zhoujiazui Road."
