北京收費公路車輛國慶增三成 一高速一方案疏堵

北京交管部門28日發布信息稱，由于今年是小型客車免收收費公路通行費政策實施的第一年，加上黃金周長途旅游及返鄉探親出行增多，“十一”黃金周期間，北京收費公路日均流量將達到155萬車次，較去年同期增長33.6%。

Beijing (CNS) -- Average daily traffic on Beijing toll roads will reach 1.55 million trips during the coming eight-day holiday, an increase of 33.6 percent over the same period last year, the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau announced on Friday.

September 30, October 1 and 7 will see the highest traffic peaks, the bureau said.

The capital's five busiest expressways will be the Beijing-Tibet, the Beijing-Chengde, the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau, the Jingkai and the Airport expressways, according to the bureau.

The bureau said 10 measures will be used to deal with the increase, including traffic signal control.

The public is advised to avoid peak days and take public transportation.
