When will free travel bring real joy?

There are many problems that need to be solved at high speed on the long holiday period. How far is the Happy Holiday leave from us?

The first is suffering from traffic congestion. Especially on September 30, the first day of the Mid-Autumn National Day holiday. It is said that starting from 2 a.m. in Beijing, the highways from Beijing began to be congested. At 8:30 in the morning on September 30th, the author set off from the South Fourth Ring to Shijiazhuang, and took the Beijing-Kaikou Expressway to the Xihongmen Toll Gate. It usually takes only half an hour's drive. It took almost four hours that day. With such severe traffic congestion, traffic flow is the main reason. However, the author also found that the rear-end accidents caused by crashes and mistakes caused by broken cars and lane changes are also important causes of serious congestion. During this journey, the author discovered that a woman had started to wrap up in a Xiali. The lady was overwhelmed. He quickly called for help and caused heavy traffic in the back traffic. In addition, a southeast Ling Yue ran after a BMW X5 at the turn of the road. Although no one was injured, the tail of the BMW X5 was slightly damaged, and Ling Yue’s front was seriously damaged. Looking at the owner of Ling Yue's face and the helplessness of the BMW owner, it seems that the mood of this holiday trip must have been greatly affected.

According to the information reported by the Transport Bureau, there were heavy traffic pressures on Beijing-Tibet Expressway, Beijing-Chengde Expressway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Jingkai Expressway and Airport Expressway on the same day. Not only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other major cities also experienced severe traffic jams on that day, and many city traffic control authorities issued a "red-level early warning" for traffic. On Weibo, there are more people gathered due to high-speed traffic jams. There are people who walk the dog on the highway, have fitness, and even gather to play cards. Someone expressed emotion on Weibo: "High-speed is free, but it can be spent on fuel and time spent in traffic jams."

In addition to traffic congestion, eating and going to the toilet while driving by car have also become a major pain. The author's personal experience was that after four hours of congestion, he finally got on the Hebei expressway and passed through the service areas of the llama and Xiong County. Because of the limited reception capacity, these service areas have adopted current-limiting measures and many have to eat or People who go to the toilet can only park at the side of the highway, and some walk 1,2 kilometers to the service area. There must be long queues for shopping and eating, and many people have to make up for instant noodles by the highway.

The casualties and property losses caused by traffic accidents during the long holidays are even more painful. According to the statistics of the transportation department, from September 30 to October 7, despite the fact that the traffic accident data has decreased compared with usual, there have been 68,422 road traffic accidents in the country, resulting in 794 deaths, 2473 injuries, and direct property losses. It reached 13.25 million yuan. Simply calculated, 8 days of Golden Week holiday, an average of 8553 road traffic accidents occur every day, an average of 99.25 people per day due to traffic accidents. In addition, the overcrowding of the scenic spots and the troubles of watching people or watching the scenes made this Golden Week pass a bit heavy.

Therefore, high-speed and free, not only is the problem of no charge, the transportation security of the relevant departments, the protection of the rescue, the reception capacity of the service area along the line, the endurance of the scenic area, including the owner's own preparation is sufficient, these are we can enjoy happiness Holiday issue.

From the point of view of the owner himself, it is necessary to give the car a comprehensive inspection before the long trip. It is necessary to purchase accident insurance according to their own needs, obey the traffic rules during the driving process, and ensure safe driving is also an important guarantee for a happy holiday. . In addition, from the current domestic sales of models, the models suitable for travel are not enough. In the middle of the road, a full range of cars can be seen through the road. Therefore, after long-term leisure has gradually become a way of life for the Chinese, the more suitable models for traveling will be an important market segment for future development.
