At 2 p.m. on June 30, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, an important transportation hub connecting the Pearl River Delta, was officially opened to traffic. It is worth mentioning that the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has also set 10 world's highests, which is another super project of China, which is the "infrastructure madness".
With a total length of 24km, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor integrates "bridges, islands, tunnels, and underwater interconnection", and its layout and structure are quite similar to those of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. After the opening of traffic, the shortest commuting time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan is only 20 minutes, and after the completion and opening of the Nansha Wanqingsha branch line, it can also greatly shorten the drive from Nansha and southern Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and also has an important radiation effect on Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Hong Kong and Macao, and the "half-hour living circle" of the Greater Bay Area has been formally formed.
In terms of charging standards, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor adopts a segmented charging standard, taking a class of passenger cars (ordinary passenger cars) as an example, and you need to pay 66 yuan for the whole line. However, we found that the actual payment amount was 67 yuan, of which the difference of 1 yuan was the connection line fee.
However, on the day of the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, it was jammed, and the planned travel time of 24km reached more than 3 hours within 20 minutes, which is comparable to the "Spring Festival".
The congestion after the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is actually expected, after all, for friends who often travel between cities in the Greater Bay Area, this day is no less important than the Chinese New Year. In addition, coinciding with the weekend, citizens and friends of the Greater Bay Area who love to join in the excitement have gone to check in and rush to get on the bridge first, so that there are long queues at the entrances of Shenzhen and Zhongshan.
In addition to the excessive traffic flow, the publicity activities of major car companies and all kinds of "cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods" are also the reasons for congestion.
As a local car company in the Greater Bay Area, such an important historical moment will not be missed. Hundreds of vehicles look up, hundreds of cars ask the boundary to cross the Shenzhong Channel, Haobo has no map to drive across the Shenzhong Channel, Weilai has also organized related traffic activities, and now the large-scale and large number of fleet arrangements will inevitably affect the rear traffic efficiency. It is said that some car brands deliberately lower the speed and drive at a turtle speed for the sake of official shooting, obstructing the normal passage of vehicles in the rear society, which must be undesirable.
But the above is not wonderful, after all, "the bird is big, what the forest has", there are more people are prone to "cow ghosts and snakes", the first time to climb the Shenzhong Passage this world-class project, everyone will definitely take out their mobile phones to take pictures and punch in records, and some car owners and passengers directly regard the high-speed bridge as a scenic spot, or even their own back garden.
Leaning out of the sunroof to take pictures, stopping in the emergency lane and getting out of the car to take pictures, flying drones and aerial photography and other similar behaviors can only be regarded as "reasonable phenomena in the wonderful". The behavior of taking out a camping stool to drink coffee and pose for a photo, and running in the emergency lane is an eye-opener, what kind of thinking logic can come up with such a strange behavior.
Thanks to the traffic police on the day of opening to traffic did not punish according to the relevant standards, otherwise in accordance with Article 18 of the Regulations on the Punishment of Road Traffic Safety Violations in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, if the emergency lane is occupied in a non-emergency situation, a penalty of 3,000 yuan will be imposed. For illegal parking on high-speed bridges, I personally support heavier penalties.
There are also a small number of car owners who are forced to stop in place, such as the minor collision accident in the Shenzhong Passage tunnel, which has also become the first traffic accident after the opening of traffic. There was also a Ferrari 296 GTS that had to call for tow truck rescue due to an engine and battery overheating alarm caused by a long idle drive in a traffic jam.
After the excitement, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor on the second day of opening to traffic has returned to normal order and road conditions, and the navigation road conditions have been smooth, and the traffic efficiency of residents in the Greater Bay Area has been significantly improved.
Finally, we would like to encourage you to drive on bridges and tunnels, and not to drive at a slow speed and park illegally. The scenery is beautiful, but safety is more important.
