Increased concentration of travel and rainfall
China News Agency, Beijing, June 23 (Reporter Zhang Ziyang) The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the Ministry of Public Security of China issued a warning warning of road traffic safety to the public on the 23rd.
According to reports, with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control in most areas of the country, people's willingness to travel and travel relatives has increased, and concentrated travel will cause a sharp increase in traffic flow in key sections of some areas. In addition, in some areas, high temperatures and rain, fatigue driving, speeding and other violations of the law lead to increased risk of vehicle rear-end collision and rollover.
Recently, the Ministry of Public Security analyzed the characteristics of road traffic accidents during the Dragon Boat Festival in the past three years, and analyzed and judged the road traffic safety situation during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, suggesting that there are five major risks:
——The traffic congestion and accident risks are prominent in the first two days of the holiday. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday travel, family visits and other short- and medium-distance travel, the overall traffic pressure of the road network has increased significantly, especially the traffic flow of some roads entering and exiting the city, key highways, national and provincial highways and scenic spots will increase significantly. It is predicted that the peak of holiday travel will appear from the afternoon of June 24 to the morning of June 25, and the peak of return trip will appear on the afternoon of June 27. In addition to being prone to road congestion during peak hours, it is also susceptible to multiple vehicle collisions.
——The risk of traffic safety in tourism is increasing. As the epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve, during the Dragon Boat Festival, city tour, rural tour, and short-distance self-driving tour will increase significantly, and the risk of tourism traffic safety increases, especially road accidents in rural areas of scenic spots are prone to occur frequently.
——The risk of accidents caused by production and transportation vehicles rises. At present, the production and construction of various regions has been fully accelerated. The project is in a hurry and the progress is fast. The demand for road transportation is quickly released. The transportation vehicles are running fast and overtime. The trucks and dangerous chemicals transportation vehicles have a high risk of illegal acts. Judging from the recent accidents, there have been many accidents involving production and transportation vehicles.
——The risk of illegal driving caused by drunk driving in urban areas increases. There are more dinner parties for family and friends during the holidays, illegal behaviors such as driving, drunk driving, and drunk driving are more frequent, and the risk of traffic accidents is increased. In the past 3 years, the drunk driving on the urban roads during the Dragon Boat Festival has caused serious accidents.
——The rain has an adverse effect on holiday travel. According to the forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, there will be continuous rainfall in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the next 10 days, and high temperatures in southern China and southern China. The poor visibility and wet roads on rainy days can easily cause the vehicle to slip and roll over. At the same time, the risk of vehicle puncture, spontaneous combustion, and driver fatigue driving in high temperature weather will increase, which will have a greater adverse impact on the safety of travel traffic during the holidays.
