According to Xinhua News Agency, the National Day holiday is approaching, and there is strong demand for tourism, visiting relatives and friends, freight logistics, etc., ushering in a large flow of passengers, traffic, and logistics, and traffic safety risks are prominent. The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a traffic safety warning on the 28th.
The National Day holiday is long, the golden autumn is suitable for travel, and the masses are willing to travel during the National Day holiday. In addition, the free passage of small passenger cars on the highway during the National Day holiday has significantly increased the demand for self-driving travel by private cars, and the traffic pressure in key areas, scenic spots, and road sections is heavy.
The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminded that the tidal traffic flow is obvious this year, and the risks are prominent on the first day of the holiday. Affected by the evening peak and early travel, it is expected that traffic will gradually increase from 15:00 on September 30, and there will be a peak travel time from 9 am to 12 pm on October 1, and the return time will be relatively scattered. There will be small return peaks on October 5 . The death toll from accidents on the first day of the holiday in the past three years accounted for the highest proportion of traffic accident deaths during the holiday period. There were more fatal accidents from 17:00 to 21:00 at night, and the death toll was significantly higher than usual, and the risk of accidents was higher.
The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security predicts that the average daily traffic of highways across the country during the National Day holiday this year will be about 45 million, an increase of about 40% over the daily rate and an increase of about 12% over the same period in 2019. Passenger and cargo transportation are intertwined and superimposed, and the risks of illegal accidents such as "three supers and one fatigue" are prominent.
The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminded that rural collective farming workers travel concentratedly, light trucks, tractors, and three-wheeled vehicles illegally carry people, vans illegally overtake people, and the risk of mass deaths and injuries is outstanding; especially primary and secondary school students go home on holiday and return to school after the holiday. The issue of traffic safety must arouse great attention. In addition, extreme weather has occurred frequently this year, and the odds of rear-end collisions and fall-over accidents caused by severe weather have increased; foggy weather can also easily lead to serial rear-end collisions.
