Safety warning prompt! During the May Day holiday, the national passenger flow will reach 250 million.

The "May Day" holiday is coming, and it is also the peak season for travel at the turn of spring and summer. Affected by many favorable factors, such as effective prevention and control of domestic epidemic situation, free passage of expressways, etc., the demand for long-holiday travel will be released in a centralized way, and there will be a peak of holiday travel in national road traffic, which will bring pressure to ensure safe and smooth traffic.

Recently, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security analyzed the characteristics of road traffic accidents during the May Day holiday in recent three years, judged the traffic safety situation during the May Day holiday this year, and issued traffic safety warning tips.

Safety risk 1: travel is concentrated, and the risk of self-driving travel is outstanding.

During the May Day holiday this year, people's demand for visiting relatives recovered strongly. Booking volume of air tickets, boat tickets, hotels, etc. It has greatly exceeded 20 19 in the same period, and the national passenger flow will reach 250 million. The road traffic pressure in popular tourist cities and key scenic spots has doubled, and the relatively unfamiliar road conditions have led to the concentration of traffic safety risks; In addition, as of the end of March this year, the number of private cars in China has reached 229 million, and long-distance self-driving trips have increased significantly during holidays, with outstanding risks. In the past three years, private car accidents accounted for nearly 60% of major accidents during the May Day holiday.

Safety risk 2: Travel is concentrated at the beginning and end of holidays, and the risk of accidents at night cannot be ignored.

The first day, penultimate day and last day of the festival are peak travel hours, and drivers are prone to illegal overtaking, fatigue driving and other illegal behaviors, which increases the risk of accidents. Secondly, in recent years, accidents at night during the May Day holiday are prominent, with the death toll concentrated between 19 and 2 1, and major accidents between 18 and 20: 00 account for about 20%.

Safety risk 3: the traffic volume of the main road network has surged, and the risk of van accidents is outstanding.

This year, the traffic risk of the main road network on May 1st has increased, and the degree of high-speed congestion is expected to increase by more than 10% year-on-year. In addition, in the face of strong passenger and freight transport demand, illegal risks such as opening new lines, hiring new drivers, overloading passengers, fatigue driving and sudden risks such as drivers' unfamiliarity with vehicle conditions and road conditions have increased; Logistics and transportation will also continue to operate at a high level, with trucks running around the clock and "Dora running", and the safety risk will increase.

Safety risk 4: illegal activities such as drunk driving are prone to occur frequently, and the risk of accidents increases.

During the festival, the consumption of country trips, outings, farmhouses, etc. It's hot, and there are activities such as visiting relatives and friends and having dinner. They are all frequent, and illegal acts such as drunk driving, overcrowding, meeting cars in violation of regulations, and not giving way according to regulations are easy to occur frequently. In addition, with the change of spring and summer, the risk of driver fatigue driving increases. Three recent major accidents, such as "4.7" in Shaoguan, Guangdong, "4. 13" in Hechi, Guangxi and "4. 15" in Taian, Shandong, were all caused by fatigue driving.

Safety risk 5: rainy weather in the south has a negative impact on traffic safety.

According to the weather forecast of the Central Meteorological Observatory, there will be precipitation in Jianghan, Jianghuai, Jiangnan, South China and the eastern part of Southwest China from April 26th to May 5th. The main precipitation periods are around April 30th and May 3rd, which may bring adverse effects on holiday traffic safety.

At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers and holiday travelers from the following four situations:

Case 1: When traveling by car, you should pay attention to the traffic information and traffic safety tips issued by the local public security traffic control department, arrange the travel time and route in advance, and do not drive fatigue to prevent drunk driving and driving without a license.

Case 2: When taking a bus, fasten your seat belt all the way, and don't take an illegally operated bus without operating qualification.

Situation 3: When driving through rural roads, when encountering sharp bends, steep slopes, long downhill roads and water cliffs, you should slow down, pay attention to the situation on both sides of the road, and take timely measures in case of emergency. Don't occupy the emergency lane in traffic jam, so as to avoid scraping accidents and blocking the "life passage".

Situation 4: In the event of a traffic accident or vehicle failure, the vehicle should be parked on the side of the road and warning signs should be placed, and the people inside the vehicle should evacuate quickly and call the police for help.
