Since the afternoon of September 30, many highways have become huge parking lots, especially on the day before and on the first day of the holiday, and the level of congestion is simply shocking. Some netizens joked: "Clever people get on the highway in advance, but when I look at it, they are all clever ghosts!" ”
Behind this, there are countless car owners who have made all kinds of efforts to travel off-peak, but they still have not escaped the fate of "blockage". So, what is going on in this National Day traffic jam drama? And how should we look at the safety risks behind this "alternative fun"?
Traffic jam: the helplessness of the whole people under the "little smart".
Since the afternoon of September 30, highways across the country have ushered in a peak of traffic. Especially on the day before and on the first day of the holiday, the congested scene can simply be described as "packed of people and traffic".
Some netizens joked: "Clever people get on the highway in advance, but when I look at it, my eyes are full of clever ghosts." This sentence is not only a helpless self-deprecation of everyone's staggered peak travel strategy, but also a true depiction of the peak travel period of the National Day.
According to the data, during the National Day, the daily traffic volume of highways in many places reached several times or even more than ten times of usual. This surge in traffic has led to severe congestion.
Many car owners said that the planned journey of several hours ended up taking more than a dozen hours or even longer. This "snail speed" not only tests the patience of the owner, but also tests the performance of the vehicle.
In this "traffic jam war", the car owners showed their talents, some set off in advance, some chose to drive at night, and some simply chose to play nearby. However, no matter how hard everyone tries, it seems that it is difficult to completely avoid this "blockage". Behind this, there are not only the smart choices of individual travel, but also the helpless reality of collective travel.
Self-driving people coping: traffic jams can also play new tricks
In the face of long-term traffic jams, self-driving people did not choose to complain and wait, but took various ways to deal with them to make the time of traffic jams interesting. Some people get out of the car and take the dog for a walk, so that the pet can also feel the "National Day atmosphere"; Some people get out of the car to play badminton with their companions and use the time in the traffic jam to do physical exercise; Others shared their funny stories during the traffic jam, such as washing their hair and dancing, which made people laugh out loud.
Although these coping methods seem to be a bit "improper", they have alleviated the fatigue and anxiety of car owners to a certain extent. After all, a long time of traffic jam not only tests the driving skills of the car owner, but also tests the mentality of the car owner. It is undoubtedly a kind of wisdom to be able to face traffic jams with a peaceful and optimistic attitude.
However, behind this "alternative fun", there are also some hidden safety hazards. Getting off the highway at will may not only endanger your own safety, but also affect the passage of other vehicles. Therefore, car owners must ensure safety and not overdo "self-indulgence" when taking a response.
Traffic police remind: safety is always the top priority
For the various ways of dealing with self-driving people, the traffic police department also gave a reminder. They said that although it is a positive attitude for car owners to deal with traffic jams with a calm mind, safety always comes first. Getting off the highway at will is not only a safety hazard, but also a traffic accident.
The traffic police department emphasized that no matter when and where, car owners should maintain safety awareness and obey traffic rules. When stuck in traffic, be patient and don't change lanes, overtake, or get off the bus at will. At the same time, car owners should also understand the road conditions in advance and plan the travel route and time reasonably to avoid the inconvenience and safety hazards caused by long-term traffic jams.
In addition, the traffic police department also reminded car owners to pay attention to emergency preparedness. Long driving hours and traffic jams can bring a variety of uncertainties, so car owners should make emergency preparations before traveling, such as bringing necessary food and drinking water, and checking the condition of the vehicle. During driving, you should stay calm and patient, and call the police for help in time when you encounter an emergency.
Individual and Collective: "Smart" and "Helpless" in the Dilemma of Mobility
From a certain point of view, the congestion phenomenon during the peak period of National Day travel is actually a conflict between individual "smartness" and collective "helplessness". Everyone wants to avoid congestion and choose to travel off-peak, but when everyone does, it only exacerbates congestion. This "smart man's dilemma" is not only a helpless choice for individual travel, but also an inevitable result of collective travel.
Solving this problem requires the joint efforts of governments, society and individuals. The government can alleviate congestion by improving the transportation network and making public transportation more efficient.
Society can reduce traffic pressure by advocating green travel and reducing the use of private cars. Individuals can reduce the inconvenience caused by congestion by reasonably planning the travel route and time, and choosing public transportation.
Safety Awareness: The "Umbrella" of National Day Travel
Safety is paramount, no matter when and where. During the peak period of National Day travel, the majority of car owners should always maintain safety awareness, abide by traffic rules, and ensure the safety of themselves and others. It's not just about being responsible for yourself, it's also about being responsible for others.
The cultivation of security awareness needs to start from the usual time. Owners should regularly check the condition of their vehicles to ensure that they are in good condition; In the process of driving, it is necessary to maintain a moderate speed and a reasonable distance between vehicles to avoid dangerous behaviors such as speeding and drunk driving; Be patient when stuck in traffic, and don't change lanes, overtake, or get out of the car at will. Only by maintaining a sense of safety at all times can we ensure a safe trip.
