The police have reminded that the road conditions and parking lots around some cemeteries are insufficient, such as the narrow mountain road in Jinshan Cemetery in Haidian District, and the fewer parking spaces in Chaoyang Cemetery in Chaoyang District, Longquan Cemetery in Changping District and Jiulongshan Cemetery in Huairou, which will have an impact on the cleaning activities.
On the day of Qingming, it is expected that there will be more traffic going to Xiangshan, Botanical Garden, Badashu, Baiwangshan and other scenic spots, as well as cemeteries and cemeteries such as Jinshan Mausoleum and Wan'an Cemetery, and short-term congestion is likely to occur in the Northwest Fifth Ring Road, Xiangshan South Road, Yuanmingyuan Road, and Heishan Road.

During some hours of the peak festival day, the upper mountain road of Haidian Jinshan Cemetery is closed to passenger cars with more than 5 seats; Taitou Village Road (Blue Dream Manor Community to Chang'an Park Road) adopts one-way driving temporary traffic management measures.
In the Babaoshan area, the south gate of the revolutionary cemetery is closed, and the reserved sweeping vehicles enter through the west third gate and the northwest gate of the revolutionary cemetery through Shangzhuang East Street, and exit the west fourth gate, and the traffic organization flow in the revolutionary cemetery travels in one direction in a counterclockwise direction. After the vehicles in the bus parking lot opposite the People's Cemetery were saturated, the police at the west exit of Shuichang South Road and the east exit of Laoshan South Road will direct and guide the vehicles to park on both sides of Laoshan South Road and Shangzhuang Street. Parking is prohibited from the northern section of Shangzhuang East Street to the intersection of Lianggongan Road, and temporary control measures for one-way driving from south to north will be implemented in a timely manner, prohibiting motor vehicles from driving from north to south.
According to the Shijingshan Traffic Detachment, 13 parking lots will be opened around Babaoshan and Futian Cemetery, with a total of 1770,<> vehicles parked. Citizens visiting the Babaoshan area should take the subway and public buses as much as possible or stagger peak days.
