During the return rush hour on Feb. 17, a woman experienced extremely congested traffic on the highway. She set off from Henan to return to Hangzhou, but encountered a serious traffic jam 16 kilometers away from the ** service area on the Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway. She reportedly remained in a state of stagnation from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m., four hours passed, and she had only moved two or three kilometers forward.
This level of congestion is undoubtedly a nightmare for anyone, not only greatly affecting the itinerary, but also putting a lot of stress on the mind and body. In fact, her experience is not unique, as a large number of people return to their hometowns to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival every year, and serious traffic congestion problems follow.
In the face of such a situation, it is recommended that everyone avoid rush hour as much as possible when traveling during holidays, or choose other means of transportation to reduce the pressure on the highway.
At the same time, be patient and vigilant to ensure that the vehicle is in good working order during long waits or slow driving, and have the necessary emergency items such as food, water, first aid kits, etc. ready. Most importantly, stay calm, follow the traffic rules, and ensure the safety of yourself and others.
