"The traffic jam is expected. I don’t know when I can get home." At 18: 30 today, Mr. Wang, who drove back to Qidong, Jiangsu Province, has been stuck in the direction of Gaodong Toll Station on Wuzhou Avenue for more than half an hour: "This section of the road is full of throttle and brakes, and the cars in front and behind are waiting in line, and there is no end at all."
Like Mr. Chen, many citizens start their travel plans in advance the day before the National Day holiday. At 10 o’clock today, the G1503 Gaodong toll gate has ushered in the peak of traffic flow towards Chongming. In the afternoon, red congestion began to appear in some sections of the G40 Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge heading for Chongming.
At about 18: 30 today, the navigation software showed that the connecting sections of G40 Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge and Gaodong Toll Gate had been congested in red.
The congestion of this route will continue until tomorrow night. According to the forecast of Pudong Public Security Traffic Management Detachment, October 1st will be the peak day of traffic flow out of the city, and the traffic flow to Chongming will reach 84,000 vehicles. Under normal circumstances, when the traffic volume of Gaodong toll gate reaches more than 3000 vehicles per hour, the traffic will slow down. By then, it will be hard to avoid the slow traffic congestion on the expressways and expressways in Wuzhou Avenue, S20, G1503 and some ground roads connected with them.
With the centralized release of long holiday travel demand, the road traffic pressure in the city continues to increase, and many urban expressways begin to slow down in the afternoon. After entering the evening peak, the traffic congestion is significantly worse than usual.
The growth of traffic volume also makes the road conditions more complicated, which is prone to traffic accidents such as collision and rear-end collision. Especially in the bridge section of G40 Yangtze River Tunnel, once a traffic accident happens, the congestion will be worse.
In this regard, the public security traffic control has set up a longitudinal deceleration line and a red asphalt pavement at the entrance of the Yangtze River Tunnel in the direction of leaving the city, and carried out safety guidance in real time along the left lane 1 in the tunnel where accidents are most likely to occur, reminding drivers to slow down and prevent rear-end collisions. At the same time, a contour light belt has been set every few hundred meters in the tunnel to help drivers confirm the geographical environment, fix lanes and drive safely.
