China New Network Beijing, May 1 (Chen Hang) According to the unified deployment of the Ministry of Transport, since April 25, the Beijing Toll Road Network Toll System has carried out full-segment and full-process testing work, and all toll road toll stations have entered The exit lanes will be restored to the normal "one-car-one-bar" mode of traffic from the previous stage of "lifting the pole", but all vehicles will continue to enjoy the free passage policy until the toll is resumed at zero on May 6th. During this period, vehicles are normally charged when passing through the gantry, but the exit lane will be deducted by 0 yuan.
Rong Jun, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission and spokesman for the press, mentioned the above at the press conference on the 1st.
"One car, one shot" traffic on toll highway
For the driver, this year's "May 1" holiday highway free passage has a certain difference from the usual holiday highway free passage.
In the past, during toll-free passage, each toll station adopted the "lifting bar" method for small passenger cars of 7 seats or less, and passed the dedicated lane without stopping and passing through quickly; vehicles that did not enjoy the exemption policy implemented "one-vehicle, one-bar" tolling. And this year's "May Day" all vehicles adopt the "one car and one rod" traffic, all free of charge. Therefore, vehicles are required to "walk their own way", that is, ETC vehicles must enter the ETC entrance lane or the ETC / MTC mixed entrance lane without stopping and enter normally; MTC vehicles uniformly pass through the ETC / MTC mixed lane, receive the CPC card at the entrance toll station, and exit The toll station needs to return the CPC card to continue free passage.
The "one vehicle, one shot" free passage policy implemented due to the testing of the entire road network toll system will have a certain impact on the efficiency of vehicles passing through toll stations.
Rong Jun reminded that when driving a vehicle into a toll booth, a driver must pay attention to keeping an appropriate distance from the vehicle in front, slow down slowly, and avoid rear-end collisions and collisions. At the same time, ETC lanes are exclusively for vehicles equipped with ETC vehicle-mounted devices and functioning normally. Vehicles without ETC vehicle-mounted devices will pass through ETC / MTC mixed lanes. When entering or exiting through the toll gate, please ask drivers to drive in the prescribed lanes to avoid congestion due to the inability to drive in the wrong lane.
The traffic flow back to Beijing is expected to increase after 3 pm on the 4th
As the emergency response level of public health emergencies in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei has been reduced from first level to second level, people's willingness to travel during the "May Day" holiday has increased, and the expressway network traffic will have a greater increase than in the previous period.
Monitoring data shows that the average traffic volume of the expressway in the last week was 1.7 million vehicles, which has reached 85% of the same period last year, and further increased to 1.8 million vehicles on the 30th. However, due to the epidemic, the highway traffic during the holiday season is expected to be lower than the same period last year, with an average of about 2.1 million vehicles per day, a decrease of 23% year-on-year. Down 20%.
Rong Jun said that the road network will show the characteristics of “high pressure in the early exit direction and high pressure in the late return direction”. The traffic operation characteristics of short-distance travel are obvious. Traffic pressure is mainly concentrated in the direction of Beijing during the first holiday, the direction from the afternoon to the evening of the fourth and last day of the holiday. It is expected that the car flow back to Beijing will gradually increase after 3 pm on May 4. Beijing-Tibet, Jingli, Jingcheng, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau, Beijing-Kaikai, Beijing-Airport and other high-speed sections of Beijing will have significantly higher traffic pressure, and queues are prone to occur.
Rong Jun reminded that the driver should plan the travel route and time in advance, avoid popular attractions and time slots, pay attention to travel information in time, and travel at the wrong peak and the wrong time.
24-hour monitoring of all lanes
Rong Jun revealed that, based on the changes in Beijing's expressway traffic, combined with the characteristics of large passenger car traffic and small truck traffic, flexible measures were adopted to rationally configure the proportion of ETC and ETC / MTC mixed lanes.
24 hours of uninterrupted operation monitoring of all lanes, and once the abnormal stations and road sections in the queue are found, dispatch and implement unblocking measures immediately. When the traffic flow is large, the ETC / MTC mixed lane entrance adopts multiple sets of multiple card issuance mode, and the exit adopts multiple sets of multiple card collection mode to improve the efficiency of traffic. Set up special channels for emergency materials and personnel vehicles for epidemic prevention and control, and guide them by special personnel. Strictly implement the "three nos. One priority" principle of no parking, no inspection, no charge, and priority and convenient passage to ensure rapid passage.
Beijing will also increase road patrols, and release traffic information in time for congestion and accidents. Make full use of Beijing Traffic Radio, Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission's official Weibo and Beijing Traffic APP, highway variable information board, LED screen and other methods to issue travel information prompts through multiple channels.
