Mr. He, the bus driver, said that this viaduct is a motor vehicle lane. It used to be guarded by security guards and pedestrians were not allowed to go on the bridge. But about two months ago, the management staff was gone. Not only were illegally operated motorcycles and motorcycles driving on the bridge in the wrong direction to solicit passengers, but pedestrians were also free to enter and exit the viaduct to watch airplanes.

On the evening of March 1, Shenzhen Baoan Airport responded that after the terminal was opened, the airport had added enclosures and guardrails to the viaducts on both sides of the departure platform, and arranged patrols every day to monitor passengers at the departure port. Personnel watching the aircraft from overhead areas were warned and driven away. The airport will subsequently extend and build fences on the viaducts on both sides of the departure platform, set up reminder signs, and continue to strengthen patrols and encourage people to leave.
