Traffic jam story

It takes more than two hours to go home

Ms. Kim lives in the area of ​​Lize Bridge and works near Chaoyang Road. In the citywide congestion last night, her return home took almost two hours more than usual.

Ms. Jin’s usual drive home route is basically via Jianshe Avenue or the South Second Ring Road on Tonghuibei Road, and then enters Lize Road from Caihuying Bridge. “Often the usual evening peaks will not be too blocky on the South Second Ring Road. Even if it is blocked, the Lize Road will be smoother after going out from the Caihu Bridge. But it was really a matter of last night... "Ms. Jin recalled that she had gone out of the unit last night and accidentally stepped onto the three rings from Guanghua Road. After moving for more than half an hour under the International Trade Bridge, it reached the outside of the Jianguomen Street, where the vehicle almost remained motionless.

Ms. Gengjin’s frustration is that at the southern second ring road and Lize Road, which are usually mildly trafficked, almost the whole line is also red. Especially on Lize Road, vehicles use two traffic lights to spend more than 20 times the usual evening peak. More minutes.

“There was a traffic jam on the road, and I had to stop and go.

As expected, last night's big traffic jam arrived on schedule and the computer game became killing her. Good time tool.

Blocking due to inquiry

Three reasons exacerbated last night's congestion

Every September, before the two quarters, it is Beijing's congestion season. The public has also been psychologically prepared for this. However, compared with the previous forecast of traffic and traffic control departments, the big traffic jam last night came a little earlier. There are three main reasons for this:

Rainfall: Rainfall from noon yesterday has a very direct impact on traffic. From 3pm onwards, as the traffic volume gradually increases, the impact of wet road surface on traffic begins to appear, and the condition of the road surface has been the same as during the usual peak nights. On September 17 two years ago, Beijing was also paralyzed in a light rain.

Control: According to the broadcast of the traffic station, during the peak hours, traffic control was also carried out at Chang'an Avenue, East Second Ring Road and other places, so that the roads that had already been blocked were aggravated.

Violations: At 6 o'clock last night, at the junction of Jingshun Road near the Wangjing Commercial Center, chaotic and congested traffic, a Changan van stopped at the narrow entrance of a non-motorized vehicle. The cyclist was forced to ride a road or turn into a turbulent traffic stream, which added more blocks to the already chaotic road junction.

At many junctions in the city, although the traffic in the intersection is full, the incoming traffic in the direction of the green light still persists, causing the four directions of the cars to get together and the intersection completely stuck. They have to wait for the traffic police to get out. "select".

The reporter found on the road along Wangjing that there was a surge in the use of discs and other objects in the rain to block number plates.

The netizen @notebook_bj said on Weibo: "The drivers are very selfish and afraid of losing money. The front traffic jam must be blocked in the middle of the intersection, resulting in congestion in four directions. The large buses also do the same, blocking them like a wall. All kinds of right-turning lines go straight and all sorts of stuffing need not be said."
