11. The status quo of the expressway: good news, I asked for leave in advance and went on the road, bad news, all the highways are blocked!
The National Day holiday is approaching, and I believe many friends have already begun to plan their travel plans for this holiday. Presumably, like the editor, you can't wait to hit the road, feel the breath of autumn, and enjoy a rare leisure time. However, the current situation on the highway is one that people love and hate. Today, let's talk about the current situation of the Eleventh Expressway and see whether it is "good news" or "bad news".
First, let's start with the "good news"! Many friends asked for leave in advance and embarked on the journey early. Similar to previous years, many people choose to set off on the eve of the National Day to avoid the rush hour. After all, who wouldn't want to spend a few more hours on a congested highway? At this time, the traffic on the highway is indeed much easier than on the first day of the holiday.
Some smart drivers even choose to travel off-peak, which has to be praised here! For example, some friends can run until the evening and then hit the road, not only can they enjoy the smooth journey, but they can also reach their destination the next morning, which is really a smart move. However, this kind of "reverse thinking" mode of travel is not something that everyone can do, after all, various factors such as work and family can affect our decisions.
However, let's move on to the "bad news". In the past few days, it is said that some popular routes have been blocked. Especially at the highway entrance close to the popular tourist city, the traffic situation can be described as "difficult to move an inch". On major social platforms, all kinds of pictures and videos about high-speed traffic jams emerge in an endless stream, and just looking at them makes people feel extremely anxious.
What's worse is that in the event of a traffic accident or construction, the entire section of the road will be paralyzed. At this time, the drivers can only wait patiently, listening to the repeated "please be patient" reminder in the navigation system, and the question "what am I doing wrong" swirling in their minds.
So, how can you travel more smoothly during this time? There are a few tips for your reference. First, try to choose a route or time slot that is not so popular. Such an option will not only reduce the likelihood of traffic jams, but also make your journey smoother.
Secondly, plan your itinerary reasonably to avoid entering the highway during peak hours. If you're leaving in the morning, consider hitting the road after 9 a.m., as most people choose to go out during the morning rush hour, when you can experience "dark hours" – long traffic jams.
Of course, driving safety always comes first. During the long wait, don't make risky driving decisions because of impatience, such as changing lanes and speeding. These behaviors are not only risky to themselves, but can also be harmful to others. The editor is here to remind everyone, stay calm, safety first is king!
When it comes to safety, many veteran drivers also mentioned some following tips, such as keeping a safe distance from the car in front and trying to avoid frequent lane changes. On the highway, maintaining a good distance between cars will not only prevent rear-end collisions, but also give yourself more time to react, so that you can be more calm in the face of unexpected situations.
Of course, in addition to the above, you may wish to pay more attention to the weather conditions and road information before hitting the road. Some areas may experience rain or smog during the National Day holiday, and knowing this information can provide you with more protection for safe travel.
To sum up, while taking time off work early is a good option, the situation on the highway is not optimistic. In the face of congestion and waiting, everyone must maintain a good attitude and deal with it calmly. The National Day holiday is all about relaxation, and I hope everyone can find their own happiness during this holiday. And if you're already on your way, hopefully you'll arrive at your destination and have a great time!
