Today (April 25), the reporter learned from the Traffic Command Center of Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission that during the Labor Day holiday this year, the expressway implemented a free pass policy for buses with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats), and the free time was from 0: 00 on May 1 to 24: 00 on May 5.
It is understood that during the holiday season, the total traffic volume of the expressway network is expected to reach 8.8-9.05 million vehicles, with an average daily traffic volume of 1.76-1.81 million vehicles. It is estimated that the total traffic volume of the provincial-level crossings of Shanghai Expressway and surface roads will reach 5-5.25 million vehicles, with an average daily traffic volume of 1-1.05 million vehicles. The traffic in and out of Shanghai is mainly in the direction of Jiangsu, accounting for nearly 65%.
It is estimated that the traffic flow at intersections around popular scenic spots will increase by 3%-8% year-on-year. With the continuous improvement of the construction of tourist attractions in and around Shanghai, the traffic of holiday scenic spots continues to rise, such as Disney Resort, Haichang Ocean Park, Zhujiajiao Ancient Town and Sheshan National Forest Park, which are the most popular tourist attractions in recent years.
In terms of expressways, it is estimated that the average daily traffic during the festival will be 1.85-1.9 million vehicles, which is basically the same as that of the same period last year. Two days before the festival, due to the concentrated traffic flow in the direction of the Ray Expressway leaving the city, there will be directional congestion on the expressway section connected with it. If affected by S5 Jiading direction congestion, there will be congestion from Guangyue Road to Hujia Interchange outside Central; Affected by the congestion in the direction of G2, Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu, there will be congestion on the ramp from Tongchuan Road to Wuning Interchange outside Central; Affected by the G50 Shanghai-Chongqing-Jiangsu congestion, there are different degrees of congestion from Jiangsu Road to Yanxi Interchange, Yanxi Interchange to Hongxu Road and Hongxu Road to Hongqiao Hub on the north side of Yan ‘an.

The Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission suggested that the public should flexibly arrange the travel route and time according to their own situation, and travel at the wrong peak. Before and during the trip, the latest road conditions can be obtained through the road dynamic information board, and the travel routes and time periods can be planned reasonably. Before traveling by car, keep the car in good condition and drive carefully. In case of high-speed congestion, please keep a good attitude. You can choose to bypass or leave the expressway at the nearest exit, and choose national highway or ordinary highway to continue your journey. In addition, it is recommended to pay attention to the weather forecast. If you pass through areas with bad weather such as rain and fog, be sure to follow the instructions and pay attention to driving safety.
