With the Spring Festival approaching, the annual Spring Festival has opened. According to CCTV News, there will be as many as 9 billion people during the Spring Festival this year, a record high, of which 7.2 billion people choose to travel by car, which also set a new record. However, unlike previous years, there is a force to be reckoned with in the background of this year's Spring Festival - extreme weather.
*The Meteorological Observatory forecasts that from January 31 to February 5, the central and eastern regions will usher in the most persistent and wide-ranging heavy rain and snow weather since this winter. Such weather not only affects road traffic, but can also pose a threat to people's travel safety. Faced with such challenges, many migrant workers have had to replan their trips back home.
In this contest between the Spring Festival and the weather, every number is extraordinarily heavy. The movement of 9 billion people means that hundreds of millions of families are looking forward to the warmth of reunion during the Spring Festival, the most important traditional festival. The 7.2 billion self-driving trips are a huge test of personal driving skills and traffic management. Under such pressure, any small change in weather can become a butterfly effect that affects the entire transportation network.
*The meteorological observatory's precipitation forecast map for Zhengzhou has attracted widespread attention. The forecast map shows that all districts and counties in Zhengzhou will usher in significant snowfall in the next five days. **The official Weibo of the meteorological station even bluntly said: "It's the first time I've seen such an outrageous forecast map!" Such a statement undoubtedly sounded the alarm bell for those who are about to embark on the journey home.
In the face of such extreme weather, the ** department and traffic management departments have taken a variety of measures to deal with possible traffic congestion and safety issues. The snow removal operation on the expressway, the timely release of traffic control, and the publicity and education of safe driving are all to make this Spring Festival migration go smoothly.
And for every traveler who is ready to travel by car, preparation has become especially important. Checking the condition of the vehicle, understanding the road condition information, preparing enough emergency supplies, and planning a reasonable travel route are all basic guarantees for safe travel in extreme weather.
In this Chinese New Year, we not only have to face huge passenger flow pressure, but also have to deal with the challenges of extreme weather. This is not only a test of traffic management ability, but also a test of everyone's travel safety. We hope that every passenger can return home safely and every family can enjoy the joy of reunion.
In this contest between the Spring Festival and the heavy rain and snow, let us work together to deal with it and write a warm Spring Festival story with wisdom and courage. No matter how the weather changes, the warmth of home is always the driving force for us to move forward. May everyone on the journey be safe and smooth, and may every family be reunited and happy in this Spring Festival.
