According to the Ministry of Emergency Management, as the National Day holiday enters its fifth day, many people are beginning their return journeys ahead of schedule during the latter half of the holiday period. Traffic management authorities predict that a peak in return traffic heading toward Beijing will occur starting today, with the afternoon hours seeing the most concentrated flow of vehicles entering the capital. Beijing West Railway Station, Beijing South Railway Station, Beijing Railway Station, Beijing North Railway Station, Capital International Airport, and Daxing International Airport are all expected to experience peak return passenger flows during the holiday.
Based on dynamic assessments by the Ministry of Transport, 36 sections of national highways across the country are prone to congestion on October 5, primarily concentrated in provinces including Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, and Guangdong. If you plan to travel through these sections, please arrange your travel time and route reasonably. The list of congestion-prone sections identified through dynamic assessment (October 5).
Driving Safety Tips for the Return Journey
Before setting out on a self-driving trip, pay attention to weather conditions and make proper plans. Be alert to rain, snow, and patchy fog. Follow safe driving practices. Please keep this holiday return travel safety advisory handy.
Special Reminder
"Smart driving" is absolutely not "autonomous driving." When smart driving is activated, both hands must remain on the steering wheel and your eyes must stay on the road. It is strictly prohibited to take your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road, or to become distracted or fall asleep.
Special Reminder
In autumn, some highway sections are prone to patchy fog. When driving in foggy conditions, always remember to "reduce speed, maintain distance, and keep lights on."
Risk Prevention at Stations and Airports During the Return Journey
During the return travel peak, stations, airports, and similar venues are crowded with large flows of people. Parents traveling with children must not become distracted and must not let children out of sight. At the same time, as stations and airports are densely populated venues, what other risks should you be alert to? What should you do in an emergency? Please keep this safety guide handy.
