Since the trial opening of the Beiheng Passage last Friday, it has greatly facilitated the citizens and friends who travel to and from the Hongqiao hub and crossed the river to Pudong, and also provided a new commuting route for everyone.
What is the situation on the scene during the morning rush hour on weekdays this week? What do citizens need to pay attention to? (August 6) Yesterday morning, the reporter came to the Hongkou section of the Beiheng Passage for a field visit.
At nine o'clock in the morning, near Xinjian Road on Zhoujiazui Road, you can see an increase in traffic flow and the overall traffic order. Many drivers show some adaptability to the new way of organizing traffic, but some are hesitant at ramps, probably because they are not familiar with the new route.
Near several intersections at the entrance to the North Cross Passage ramp, the reporter noticed that new signal lights and lane adjustment signs were in place, and most vehicles were able to pass as indicated. However, there are still a small number of vehicles hesitating at intersections, resulting in brief traffic jams. The new traffic organization brought some challenges to traffic, and the traffic police department carried out timely guidance on the scene to ensure smooth traffic and improve traffic efficiency.
In the face of possible changes and challenges, since last night, the Hongkou traffic police department has adjusted the traffic organization plan. At present, the traffic police department according to the operation of the whole line of Beiheng, Xinjian Road, Huangxing Road several key intersections, by changing the lane layout, optimizing the signal light timing, etc., to continuously improve the traffic efficiency, standardize the traffic order.
Citizens and friends need to pay attention to the following four traffic tips: Vehicles from west to east of Zhoujiazui Road are prohibited from turning right into Xinjian Road, and they need to detour from Gaoyang Road. After the vehicle exits from Tongzhou Road of Beiheng Passage, it is forbidden to turn right north at Tongzhou Road and Hailun Road East, and it is necessary to detour from Jintian Road. Vehicles from the south to the east of Fair Road are prohibited from turning right into the Beiheng Passage, and need to be detoured from Haimen Road and Zhoujiazui Road. Hailun Road prohibits vehicles turning right from north to west to directly enter the Beiheng Passage, and must pass through Hailar Road and Tongzhou Road to detour.
It is reported that before the opening of the Beiheng Channel, the Hongkou Traffic Police Department deployed traffic management work in the relevant areas of Zhoujiazui Road. In view of the special situation that Zhoujiazui Road Xinjian Road is located in the two-way entrance and exit position of the Beiheng Passage, the signal phase ratio of the intersection will be further optimized to meet the traffic flow demand of the intersection during the morning and evening peak hours, and will be continuously adjusted in the early stage of opening to traffic. At the same time, the signal phase along the Zhoujiazui Road section was fine-tuned to meet the traffic rate; In order to optimize the road sign markings, in order to avoid the intersection of vehicles at the entrance and exit of the passage and the ground vehicles to form conflict points, paint guide lanes and add prohibition signs on Xinjian Road, Hailun Road, Tongzhou Road, Fair Road and other roads along Zhoujiazui Road to divert vehicles.
The duty posts have also been dynamically adjusted, adjusting the new road of Zhoujiazui Road to key posts, adding Zhoujiazui Road and Fair Road as peak posts, adding Hailun Road and Hailar Road as auxiliary police posts, and increasing peak patrol lines in Zhoujiazui Road and Hailun Road. The additional posts will predict the congestion nodes according to the flow of the passage and the road, and carry out diversion from the peripheral areas to ensure smooth flow along the line. At the same time, with technology to empower video inspection, the research and judgment room of the Hongkou Traffic Police Detachment will focus on the morning and evening peak traffic around the Beiheng Passage through the "video macro", and arrange the police to deal with it in real time when congestion or system warning is found.
The Hongkou traffic police will also give full play to the characteristic work of "auxiliary residence", synchronize publicity, do a good job in guiding, and carry out publicity on the changes in the roads around the Beiheng Passage and the detour plan, and guide passing vehicles to choose the right route to avoid concentrated illegal behaviors. In the next step, the traffic police department will pay attention to the changes in the flow of the Beiheng Passage and related ramps in real time, and carry out dynamic optimization and adjustment according to the actual situation.
Hongkou traffic police reminded the public that they should use navigation software to plan routes before traveling, and pay attention to traffic signs and markings during driving to ensure safe and civilized driving. Drivers who miss the ramp should continue to the next ramp to avoid forced congestion or illegal driving.
In general, during the morning rush hour on weekdays after the trial opening of the Beiheng Passage, the overall traffic operation was stable, and the "hardware and software" measures of the Hongkou traffic police department were put into battle to ensure smooth traffic. As the public gradually adapts to the new traffic environment, it is believed that the traffic situation will be smoother in the future.
