The New Year's Day holiday is approaching, and self-driving tourism, visiting relatives and friends and other travel are concentrated, which is superimposed with the peak traffic flow of passengers and freight at the end of the year, and the road traffic safety risk increases. Recently, the Ministry of Public Security has analyzed and judged the road traffic safety situation during the New Year's Day holiday in 2024 based on the characteristics of road traffic travel and traffic accidents during the New Year's Day holiday in the past three years, and issued a traffic safety warning.
According to research, there are four main aspects of road traffic safety risks during the New Year's Day holiday in 2024:
First, the safety risks of tourist passenger transport are prominent. During the New Year's Day holiday, there are many New Year's Eve activities, hot spring tours, ski tours, farmhouses and other tourist trips are frequent, according to a number of ** tourism platforms, the number of travel orders during the New Year's Day holiday increased by more than 3 times year-on-year, and illegal accidents such as tourist passenger transport, highway passenger transport, self-driving overcrowding, and speeding are prone to occur frequently.
Second, traffic safety risks in rural areas are prominent. There are many weddings, funerals, and gatherings in rural areas during the holidays, and the masses in some areas do not reduce their travel to work and construction operations nearby, and the risk of drunk driving, illegal overcrowding of vans, and illegal carrying of trucks and tricycles is prominent. In the past three years, there were two major traffic accidents caused by drunk driving during the New Year's Day holiday, both in rural areas.
Third, the risk of illegal accidents caused by trucks is prominent. At present, all walks of life have entered the final stage of rushing for the construction period, catching up with the schedule, and rushing the performance, and the demand for energy transportation, means of production transportation, and e-commerce logistics transportation is strong. During the New Year's Day holiday in the past three years, 58 of the major traffic accidents caused by trucks were caused3%。
Fourth, the risk of large flow of expressways is prominent. During the New Year's Day holiday, some key periods, road sections of passenger cars and trucks travel are superimposed, passenger and truck traffic is concentrated, highway vehicles are more slow, and multi-vehicle collisions and secondary accidents are prone to occur, especially in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other regions, the road network is dense and the traffic is concentrated, and the safety risk is more prominent. In addition, according to the meteorological forecast, although there is no large-scale precipitation in the country around New Year's Day, there is still snow and rain in some places, and as the temperature rises, there is heavy fog or even strong dense fog in some areas of southern North China, central and eastern Huanghuai, eastern Jianghuai, Jianghan, eastern Sichuan Basin, etc., which affects holiday road traffic travel and safety.

There are many dinner parties during the holidays, so you should always remember not to drink while driving, and not to drive when drinking. When driving in foggy and foggy weather, slow down, drive cautiously, and turn on the front and rear fog lights, marker lights and hazard warning flashing lights in time. When driving on highways, it is necessary to maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles, drive through congested and slow road sections, do not intersperse at will, and do not occupy emergency lanes. Observe the highway exit signs in advance, do not change lanes, brake sharply or reverse at the exit, and leave from the next exit if you miss the exit. In the event of a traffic accident, keep in mind that "pull over, evacuate, and call the police".
