Traffic restrictions of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge (traffic control measures)

In recent years, with the rapid growth of the number of cars, traffic congestion has become increasingly serious. In order to relieve the traffic pressure and improve the traffic efficiency, the Wuhan Municipal Government decided to implement traffic restriction measures for Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Since the implementation of this measure, it has achieved remarkable results and effectively alleviated the traffic congestion problem.

Restricted background

Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is an important transportation hub connecting Jiang 'an District and Jianghan District of Wuhan City, carrying a large number of vehicles every day. However, due to too many vehicles, traffic jams often occur on the Yangtze River Bridge, which seriously affects the travel efficiency and quality of life of citizens. In order to improve this situation, the Wuhan municipal government decided to implement restrictions.

Restrictive measures

According to the regulations of Wuhan Municipal Government, the time for implementing traffic restrictions on Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is the morning rush hour and the evening rush hour from Monday to Friday. The specific time limit is 7:00-9:00 in the morning peak and 17:00- 19:00 in the evening peak. During this period, except for certain vehicles, other vehicles are prohibited from crossing the Yangtze River Bridge.

The restricted objects mainly include private cars and some buses. The rules of private car restriction are relatively simple, and the date of restriction is determined according to the tail number of the license plate. The specific provisions are as follows:

Vehicles ending with 1 and 6 are restricted on Monday.

Vehicles with ending numbers 2 and 7 are restricted on Tuesday.

Vehicles with tail numbers 3 and 8 are restricted on Wednesday.

Vehicles with tail numbers 4 and 9 are restricted on Thursday.

Vehicles with tail numbers 5 and 0 are restricted on Friday.

As for buses, because they are public transport and provide important travel services for citizens, they are not completely banned. According to the actual situation, the bus restriction measures have been adjusted to some extent. The specific provisions are as follows:

During the morning rush hour, except for buses on specific routes, other buses are prohibited from passing through the Yangtze River Bridge.

In the evening rush hour, all buses can pass through the Yangtze River Bridge except those on specific routes.

Through the implementation of the above restrictions, the traffic pressure of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge has been significantly alleviated, and the travel efficiency of citizens has also been improved.

restriction effect

Since the implementation of the restriction measures, the traffic conditions of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge have improved significantly. During the restricted time, the traffic volume on the bridge is obviously reduced, and the traffic congestion phenomenon is obviously alleviated. The travel time of citizens has been shortened and the quality of life has been improved.

In addition, the restriction measures have also promoted the development of public transport. As private cars are restricted, some citizens choose to travel by public transport. The passenger flow of public transport has increased substantially, the efficiency of public transport operations has improved, and citizens' travel choices have become more diversified.
