China News Service, April 1. According to the WeChat public account of the "Ministry of Public Security Traffic Management Bureau", the Tomb Sweeping Day is approaching. The Ministry of Public Security has analyzed and judged the traffic safety situation during this year's Tomb Sweeping Day holiday based on the characteristics of traffic accidents during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday in recent years. , and issued a traffic safety warning. According to research and judgment, during this year’s Qingming Festival holiday, the following aspects of road traffic safety risks are more prominent:
First, traffic safety risks in the cemetery area and along the routes have increased. Before the festival, the cemetery and cemetery areas will receive a flow of vehicles and people for memorial services. On Qingming Festival, the cemetery and cemetery areas and the arterial roads leading to the cemetery areas will see the peak of traffic for memorial services. Since the cemetery areas are mostly located in the suburbs and mountainous areas, the roads The conditions are relatively poor and traffic accidents are prone to occur frequently.
Second, there are prominent road traffic safety risks for tourist vehicles and scenic spots. During the Qingming Festival, people go out to enjoy flowers and go out for gatherings, so there is a huge demand for travel. The demand for tourist passenger transport, highway passenger transport, chartered cars, etc. will increase, and the traffic volume at scenic spots and surrounding roads will increase significantly, and the risk of traffic accidents will be higher.
Third, traffic safety risks are prominent in rural areas. Around the Qingming Festival, rural areas enter the busy period of spring sowing and farming. There is an increase in the number of collective trips of production operations, transportation, and migrant workers. Vans illegally overcrowding, agricultural vehicles illegally carrying people, drunk driving, and driving without a license are prone to accidents, and the risks are prominent.
Fourth, the risk of highway traffic accidents has increased. It is expected that highway traffic volume will maintain an upward trend during this year's Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, and the mixed traffic level of various types of vehicles will increase. Traffic flow in and out of urban agglomerations, regional central cities, and major tourist cities such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Sichuan and Chongqing will surge compared with normal times, and the risk of passenger-truck collisions will increase.
Fifth, rainy weather brings adverse effects. According to the weather forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, in the next 10 days, there will be heavy rainfall in the central and northern parts of Jiangnan and South China. The intensity of precipitation will increase and there will be more rainy days, which is detrimental to travel safety and is prone to vehicle rear-end collisions and sideslip rollover accidents.
