This morning (December 18th), there were small snowflakes floating in Yangpu, although the "landing water" was still mixed with raindrops, but such "scalp snow" has made many "snow-loving" citizens feel excited.
However, the rain and snow brought a lot of challenges to the morning peak on the first Monday after this cold spell. With slippery roads and wet and cold weather, many people choose to drive ahead of schedule, slow down and drive slowly, so that the morning rush hour "jam" arrives in advance. To this end, the Yangpu traffic police arrived at the post half an hour early this morning to divert traffic and escort the passage of vehicles.
At 7:10 in the morning, the reporter saw at the intersection of Songhuajiang Road, Huangxing Road, that the vehicles at the ramp crossing on Huangxing Road in the inner ring of the Inner Ring Elevated Highway were queuing slowly, which had been extended to the intersection location, and the display board reminded that the main line was congested in the direction of Yangpu Bridge on the Inner Ring Elevated Road. At this time, the Yangpu traffic police have implemented traffic control measures to prevent "tailing" at the intersection. Although the straight direction is green, the traffic police still control the vehicle to move forward, avoid congestion at the intersection, and ensure traffic order.
Ping Jiahui, a police officer of the mobile brigade of the Yangpu Traffic Police Detachment, said that according to the experience of traffic support in the past cold wave weather, congestion will definitely occur in advance in the morning rush hour today. The intersection of Songhuajiang Road and Huangxing Road gathers traffic from the three directions of Siping Road, Wujiaochang and Yingkou Road, and at the same time drives in the direction of Yangpu Bridge on the Inner Ring Elevated Road.
A driver's lady said that she drove from the intersection of Zhengtong Road and Guohe Road to the intersection of Songhuajiang Road and Huangxing Road, preparing to go to Pudong on the Inner Ring Elevated, "I usually drive here for up to 10 minutes, but today I drove for an extra 5 minutes, and almost every intersection had to be blocked for a while." Another driver, Mr. Han, said, "I went out early today, but the road was still congested." ”
In rainy and snowy weather, everyone's speed is relatively slow, and the weather is cold, many people choose to travel by car, and there are a lot more vehicles on the road. Usually, there will be congestion at the intersection of Songhuajiang Road and Huangxing Road until about 7:30, but at about 7 o'clock today, there has been a slow traffic situation. Ping Jiahui reminded that in such weather, it is the right choice to control the speed of the car and ensure safety.
