How many cars broke into the Beijing checkpoint

  Some citizens have recently reported to this newspaper that many checkpoints have entered Beijing. They are overwhelmed with congestion during the morning and peak hours every day. Sometimes the congestion lasts for two to three hours. The reporter's squat survey found that the driver's failure to apply for the Beijing Entry Permit in advance, illegal trucks, and the time-consuming presentation of identification documents have become important causes of congestion. Under the strategy of "foreign defense input, internal defense rebound", inspection in Beijing is a necessary measure. On the premise of ensuring the prevention and control of the epidemic, alleviation of congestion requires everyone to work together.

Long queue of vehicles entering Beijing in the morning peak

  The owner dared not drive the car home

  "It's more than 5 o'clock in the morning to get up, and it takes 3 hours to go to work." Ms. Wang, who lives in Gu'an County, Hebei Province and goes to work in Beijing every day, told reporters that because of the long waiting time in line in front of the checkpoint, she was late three times a week.

  Ms. Wang got up one hour earlier than before the outbreak, but she still cannot guarantee to arrive on time. The main reason is that from Gu'an to Beijing, there are two checkpoints on the road, the first is the Gu'an checkpoint, the second This is the Daxing Yu'an checkpoint. It takes about 1 hour to pass these two checkpoints.

  She told reporters that Gu'an lived many people working in Beijing, and everyone encountered the same problem. In order to avoid being late for work, many people choose to park their cars on the open ground outside Yu'an checkpoint, and then ride an electric car home every day. "Ride from home to the toll booth the next morning, bypass the most congested section, and then drive the car out of the open space next to the checkpoint, and then enter the Beijing through the Yufang checkpoint, which can save twenty or thirty minutes. "Ms. Wang said that hundreds of vehicles are parked in the open space outside the checkpoint every day.

  Another reader with similar experience, Mr. Zhang, lives in Yanjiao, and the community is close to the Yanchao Bridge. During the outbreak, he got up at 5 a.m. and drove to work every morning. Although he departed half an hour earlier than the premise of the outbreak, he could not be guaranteed to arrive at Guomao before 9 a.m. nearby. "The Gaogezhuang checkpoint on Xu Yin Road opened only two gates at about 5:40 in the morning. Vehicles in multiple lanes would have to squeeze these two gates. The road from Yanchao Bridge to the checkpoint was about 1 km long. By car, the traffic is very slow. "

  According to the situation reflected by the readers, the reporter went to the site to conduct a squat survey. At 7 o'clock in the morning on May 7, at the east side of the Gaogezhuang Comprehensive Checkpoint, entering the direction of Beijing, vehicles in several lanes moved slowly, looking in the direction of the rear of the car. On the Yanchao Bridge, about 1 km away, there was a lot of traffic. car.

  All 5 checkpoints of the checkpoint have been opened. Several tens of meters away from the inspection gate, several staff members are measuring the body temperature for the people in the car. The reporter found that there were at least two groups of staff at each checkpoint to verify the identity documents of the vehicular personnel, but because there were too many vehicles, there was still a long queue. A driver said that it has been nearly 40 minutes from Yanjiao to the checkpoint. Once in a row, it took nearly 1.5 hours to wait in line.

  In sharp contrast to this, on the northernmost lane, electric bicycles and motorcycles almost never encountered traffic jams and passed smoothly. The checkpoint specifically opened a passage for these cyclists, who will check the identity documents and measure the body temperature, and release it immediately after passing the test. A cyclist said, "It only took less than 20 minutes to ride from Yanjiao, and it went smoothly."

Illegal entry permit and truck violation

  Affect fast passage

  At 8 a.m. on the 7th, the reporter came to the Baimiao North checkpoint on the old Jingyu line and saw many vehicles with foreign licenses parked along the north side of the road. Outside the window of a white tin room on the north side of the road, several men are waiting, and several traffic police are not far away inspecting vehicles. A vehicle with a Hebei license plate was led by the traffic police to the roadside. The traffic police took two blue notebooks from the driver and pointed them to the white house next to them. It turned out that this car did not apply for the Beijing Entry Permit, and the traffic police asked the driver to go through the punishment procedures. The driver should be warned that the vehicle is not allowed to enter Beijing without a Beijing Entry Permit.

  In the more than an hour the reporter stayed, about dozens of vehicles were punished for failing to apply for the Beijing Entry Permit. The vehicles parked on the roadside are several tens of meters long, and some drivers even parked their cars at the intersection of 40 to 50 meters away.

  In order to stop these vehicles without the Beijing Entry Permit, the traffic police had to go to the middle of the road and waved to the driver to stop. The vehicles behind them can only reduce the speed. This series of reactions caused the vehicles leaving the checkpoint to travel slowly and the traffic speed was greatly reduced.

  The checkpoint has three lanes in the direction of Beijing. The northmost lane is for large trucks. Compared with small passenger cars, these large trucks pass through the inspection gate at a much slower speed. After they pass the inspection gate, a staff member wearing a yellow vest with the words "Environmental Protection" will wave some of the large trucks to stop. The other vehicles behind the truck had to slow down and evade, and then change lanes to pass. The reporter learned that most of the reasons why these trucks were stopped were related to the failure to meet environmental protection standards.

  The reporter counted, and in 10 minutes, three large trucks parked on the side. Because they slowed down, the vehicles behind drove slowly and slowed down the speed of the vehicle.

  A traffic policeman told reporters that the driver needs to apply for the Beijing Entry Permit one day in advance, and he cannot apply for it that day. Accepting the punishment at the checkpoint itself will also affect the speed of other vehicles. Vehicles without the Beijing Entry Pass will be persuaded to return. When the vehicle turns around and turns back, it will also increase the traffic pressure on the road. In addition, overloading of large trucks or failure to comply with environmental protection standards are also within the scope of inspection. I hope that truck drivers will abide by traffic regulations and avoid accidents due to their own reasons.

 Proof of presentation

  Each car takes half an extra minute

  The reporter also found a phenomenon that caused the vehicle to pass through the checkpoint slowly, that is, the driver and passengers presented their identification documents for inspection.

  In order to increase the speed of traffic, the checkpoint is equipped with two or three groups of inspectors for each lane, with two to three people in each group, and inspects two or three vehicles at the same time. However, the reporter found that the time for vehicles entering and leaving the station in each lane is not the same, and the time difference between each vehicle ranges from more than ten seconds to thirty or forty seconds.

  The reporter randomly started from a white car to stop at the checkpoint and began to use the mobile phone stopwatch to count time. The driver handed out the document, the staff took the document and scanned it on the machine, and then returned the document to the driver. The vehicle started again and left. The whole process took only 7 seconds. In another passage adjacent to it, the owner of an off-road vehicle walked in from the station to present the documents, and then the staff checked the documents of other passengers in the car. The entire process took 43 seconds, which was slower than the white car. 36 seconds. Another driver lowered his head and rummaged in the car. He passed the ID to the inspector more than 30 seconds later, and the vehicle in the other lane that entered the station at the same time had already drove away.

  The reporter estimated 10 vehicles, the shortest passing time was 6 seconds, and the longest was more than 45 seconds. If the crew members prepare relevant documents in advance, the inspection time can be shortened effectively.

  The staff at the checkpoint said frankly that their current work is under great pressure. A staff member at the Gaogezhuang checkpoint said that the traffic flow into the station every morning continued from more than 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock. They were working almost at full capacity and had little time to drink water for a few hours on duty. It is an important measure for epidemic prevention and control. No matter how hard we are, we must be loyal to our duties and carefully check every person who enters the station. "He suggested that drivers and passengers can prepare the documents that need to be checked before passing through the checkpoint. Shorten inspection time and pass quickly.
