The increase in traffic volume on some sections is close to 30%, and the proportion of trucks on some high-speed sections has increased by more than 60%. Moreover, the province's expressway Traffic flow continues to show an upward trend.

If you really need to travel, remember to travel during off-peak hours, travel rationally, and avoid gatherings of people. At the same time, a warning on driving safety risks during this year’s May Day holiday was issued: First, the traffic safety risks of self-driving travel are prominent. The "May Day" holiday coincides with the golden season of tourism. People's individual travel has increased significantly. Illegal behaviors such as fatigue driving, distracted driving, and drunk driving have led to an increase in the risk of traffic accidents. Second, highway traffic safety risks have increased. Recently, the traffic volume of expressways has continued to run at a high level. Most road sections have exceeded the normal traffic volume. Some road sections have doubled in volume. Large and small vehicles, passenger cars and trucks are mixed in and out. At the same time, people are sleepy, vehicles are in poor condition, roads are unfamiliar, and goods are not secure. It happens from time to time and can easily lead to vehicle breakdown or traffic accident. The third is to pay attention to the adverse effects of rain and fog. During the May Day holiday, there will be light rain in some areas of the province, the temperature will change drastically, and fog may occur. On rainy days, the road surface is slippery, increasing the risk of vehicles skidding and rolling over.
