Traffic during the Spring Festival holiday in Beijing is "low at first and high at the end" and multiple measures are taken to warm the way home. Long-distance inter-provincial travel by railways and civil aviation and short-distance self-driving transportation in and around the city were significantly increased.
Short-term traffic pressure is concentrated on roads and parking lots around key areas such as temple fairs, parks, and business districts. Small passenger cars with 7 seats or less on the expressway will be free of charge for a total of 9 days.
