On January 28, the reporter learned from the Department of transportation of Guangdong Province that during the Spring Festival holiday in 2022, toll roads across the country will continue to waive tolls for “minibuses with less than 7 SEATS (including 7 seats)” and “motorcycles allowed to drive on ordinary toll roads”. The specific free period starts at 0:00 on the first day of the holiday (January 31) and ends at 24:00 on the last day of the holiday (February 6). For ordinary highways, the time when vehicles pass through the toll lane of the toll station shall prevail, and for expressways, the time when vehicles leave the exit toll lane shall prevail.
According to statistics, since the start of the Spring Festival transportation (from January 17 to January 26), the total traffic flow of expressways in the province is about 61.87 million, and the average daily traffic flow is about 6.19 million, a year-on-year increase of 8.86%. From the change of traffic flow, it will show the characteristics of “stable before the festival and recovery after the festival”. It is expected that there will be a return travel peak from the fifth day to the seventh day of the first month.
the total traffic flow in key sections of Dawan District exceeds 30 million vehicles
Since the Spring Festival transportation, the traffic flow of expressways in the province has increased steadily, especially in and out of the province. According to statistics, from January 17 to January 26, the cumulative traffic flow out of the province was about 3.92 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 77.54%; The cumulative traffic volume into the province was about 860000 vehicles, with a year-on-year increase of 35.33%; The total traffic flow of key sections in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Dawan district was about 30.75 million, with a year-on-year increase of 4.85%. Guangqing and Guangzhou east ring intercity railways sent 48521 passengers, a year-on-year increase of 7.5%.
All sections of the province have made precise measures to deal with the peak traffic flow and create a safe and smooth travel environment for the majority of passengers. Aiming at the problem of frequent fog weather in western Guangdong mountain area during the Spring Festival transportation, Yunmao expressway has set up 1696 sets of induced fog lights to ensure that drivers and passengers can know the road conditions in time. Guangfo Zhaoqing expressway, as a major channel out of the province towards Guangxi, starts “tidal” parking management when the capacity of its closed service area reaches 90%, and divides 120 parking spaces for passing car owners to further alleviate the congestion. Guanghe Expressway and ErGuang expressway have established a multi-party joint service linkage working mechanism with traffic police, rescue, service area, insurance and other linkage units respectively. Guanghe expressway has added 9 temporary stops along the line, and ErGuang expressway has set up 20 joint stops along the line to carry out linkage and smooth work.
the total traffic flow of expressways in the province during the Spring Festival transportation is expected to reach 245 million vehicles
During the Spring Festival transportation this year, the traffic flow of expressways in the province will continue to operate at a high level, and the traffic flow of important sections such as expressway toll stations, service areas, interchanges, bridges and tunnels in the province will increase significantly, resulting in an obvious slowdown.
It is estimated that in the 40 days of the Spring Festival transportation, the total traffic flow of expressways in the province is expected to reach 245 million vehicles, with an average daily traffic flow of about 6.12 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 6%, and the peak daily traffic flow will exceed 8 million vehicles. It is estimated that the total number of vehicles leaving the province will reach 6.1 million, with a year-on-year increase of about 10%; The total number of vehicles entering the province was 7 million, which was basically the same year-on-year. According to the current monitoring, the number of vehicles leaving the province on January 26 reached 517000, becoming the peak day of the traffic flow out of the province during the Spring Festival. It is expected that the peak traffic flow into the province will be ushered in from February 5 to 7.
During the Spring Festival transportation, it is expected that the main congested sections are mainly concentrated in 49 sections in the Pearl River Delta, such as the airport Ergao Beicun interchange (Guangzhou) and the Qinghu interchange of airport crane Expressway to South China City (Shenzhen). It is estimated that the service areas with large traffic flow are 7 service areas such as Xinfeng service area of Da Guang Expressway (Shaoguan) and Qingxin service area of Qinglian Expressway (Qingyuan). It is estimated that the toll stations with large traffic flow are 9 toll stations such as Shangxiang toll station of Guang San Expressway (Foshan) and Rogge toll station of Guang Tai Expressway (Foshan).
It is understood that for the identified blocking points, the Guangdong transportation department has sent additional personnel to strengthen the dredging, and implemented the working mechanisms such as “one blocking point and one scheme”, “one stop and one policy” and “three parties along the way”, so as to further improve the traffic capacity of road sections, toll stations and service areas.
