"The change at this intersection is obvious, the vehicle traffic is much faster, and the traffic police are praised." On the morning of October 30, talking about the congestion at the intersection of Renmin Avenue and Yan'an Middle Road, Liu Xi, a citizen waiting for traffic lights to cross the road, talked about his personal feelings.
Blockage point: Intersection of Renmin Avenue and Middle Yan'an Road
It is understood that the intersection of two urban trunk roads intersects, people's avenue two-way six lanes, Yan'an Middle Road two-way six lanes, rich in business formats, business circles, school distribution, large flow of people and vehicles, high traffic demand.
status quo:
At about 11:00 a.m. on the same day, the reporter saw at the scene that the zebra crossing that originally connected the F and G ports of the subway fountain station had been removed, the road surface was installed with guardrails, the G mouth pavement was under construction, and between the E and K ports of the fountain station, a new zebra crossing was added, the traffic police and volunteers on the scene were directing traffic, vehicles and pedestrians were passing in an orderly manner, and no congestion was seen.
genesis:
The intersection is located in the middle of the core area of the old city, surrounded by the fountain business circle, the old residential areas in the old town of Guiyang and the commercial facades of the street, etc., and the traffic volume of pedestrians and motor vehicles is particularly large. Rail Transit Line 1 was built when the original intersection overpass was demolished, and the pavement at Exit G of the Fountain Metro Station was at a right angle, resulting in poor traffic for right-turning vehicles on the south side of Renmin Avenue, and the intersection mainly adopted a flat crossing method, and the contradiction between people and vehicles was protruding, which caused the traffic congestion problem at the intersection.
Citizens say:
"I think this intersection is much smoother now, you see, the zebra crossing has moved, and there are relatively few cars coming from the north section of People's Avenue, just so that it is convenient for everyone to cross the road." Liu Xi, a citizen, said that in the past, there was no zebra crossing between the E and K exits of the subway, but now the zebra crossing is moved over, which is much more convenient and reduces the contradiction between people and cars.
A restaurant clerk at the intersection also believes that everyone likes to come out at noon or in the afternoon on weekends, and this intersection is often congested, but from today's point of view, this intersection traffic is smooth, praising the traffic police.
The traffic police said:
"Yesterday on Friday, around 6:45 p.m., the traffic at this intersection resumed, which was still very effective." Yang Pu, a police officer of the sixth squadron of the Yunyan Branch of the Guiyang Traffic Management Bureau, said that in order to improve the traffic congestion at the intersection, the relevant functional departments have conducted in-depth research many times, analyzed the causes of the congestion, and "prescribed the right medicine", and now, the traffic congestion at the intersection has been significantly improved.
According to Yang Pu, in order to alleviate the pressure of vehicle traffic on Renmin Avenue, the zebra crossing in the southern section of Renmin Avenue has been moved ten meters to the north, and a guardrail has been installed at the original zebra crossing, and the road surface of the fountain subway G is currently under construction, changing the original right angle into a circular arc to facilitate the right turn of vehicles in the southern section of Renmin Avenue.
"There are more vehicles turning right in the southern section of Renmin Avenue, and sometimes it is convenient to drive to the middle of the road to make it easier to turn, coupled with some citizens crossing the road uncivilizedly, people and cars are mixed, which affects the traffic at this intersection." Yang Pu said that the traffic flow of the north-to-south right turn of Renmin Avenue is relatively small, and the zebra crossing is adjusted to the north side, which reduces the number of right transfers of the south-to-north traffic flow, improves the efficiency of the south-to-north right turn, and alleviates the queue for the south-to-north right turn.
Not only that, but in order to improve traffic, the right turn lane near Exit F of the subway was originally just a turn lane, but now it has become a turn and a straight. "Guiyang Rail Transit Line 2 Phase I Project Yan'an West Road East-West Viaduct has been opened to traffic, now from the Zilin'an straight vehicles drive faster, the traffic flow at this intersection will further increase, can not digest, now we added a turn and straight, to a large extent digested the straight vehicles." Yang Pu said that in response to the traffic congestion problem in the direction of the fountain, a left turn and a straight lane have been added at the intersection in front of the road.
Governance Effect:
It is reported that during the original peak period, the morning peak basically needs to be restored at about 9:10, and the evening peak is restored around 19:10, and now, through continuous efforts, the morning and evening peaks are resumed fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. "This is one of the 32 blockages in Guiyang City, and we are also working hard to make guiyang's traffic better and better, so that everyone can travel more conveniently." Yang Pu said.
