Chinanews.com, December 23. According to New Zealand Tianwei.com, New Zealand police have recorded the latest holiday traffic guide for 2020. Cristina of the Auckland Central Police Department urged the public to stay vigilant when traveling on holidays.
Why you need to be vigilant:
·There are more vehicles on the road, and more vehicles mean that the risk of traffic accidents will increase.
· Many drivers drive on unfamiliar roads.
·Drivers need to drive for a long time and feel tired. Usually, early morning or evening is the period of high traffic accidents.
· Increased stress due to factors such as hot weather, traffic jams, noisy children and driving fatigue.
·Travelers may not pay much attention to road safety, such as speeding, driving fatigue, and not wearing seat belts.
·There will be more drinking and driving during holidays.
What measures can you take to improve your safety:
·Prepare for travel in advance.
·Before traveling, make sure your vehicle is safe.
·Plan your itinerary to avoid traveling during highway congestion hours.
· Allow plenty of time to make the journey part of the vacation.
·Plan the rest interval.
·Be alert to changes in surrounding conditions.
· Many times during holidays, overtaking lanes will be closed to ease traffic congestion and prevent further traffic congestion at the end of the interchange lane.
It is recommended to use an alternative route.
Check the information about highway conditions for real-time updates on route changes, delays, closures and accidents.
Ensure the safety of your vehicle and avoid financial losses.
I wish you a pleasant journey!
