The 2023 New Year's Day holiday is coming soon. How will the traffic flow on the expressway be during the long holiday in a few days? What precautions should be taken when traveling by car?
Hunan Expressway Police has prepared the "Hunan Expressway Travel Guide for the 2023 New Year's Day Holiday" for everyone!
Tip 1: Expressway access is not free
During the 3-day New Year's Day holiday in 2023 (December 31, 2022 to January 2, 2023), the expressway will not implement a free access policy.
Tip 2: Traffic flow and peak period forecast
High-speed traffic forecast
Forecast: The province's highway traffic flow will remain at daily levels, with little possibility of surge, and the overall operation of the road network will be relatively stable. Public travel mainly involves short- and medium-distance self-driving within the province, such as visiting relatives and friends, going on vacation, etc., and road network traffic is concentrated on major nodes such as expressways around Changsha and popular scenic spots. Important entrances and exits of cities (prefectures), especially the highways around Changsha City, may experience fluctuating slowdowns during peak traffic hours. It is recommended that everyone choose travel routes rationally and travel at different times and peak hours.
Based on the analysis of road network traffic data trends during the New Year's Day holiday in recent years, it is predicted that the total traffic at the province's highway entrances and exits during the New Year's Day holiday (3 days) in 2023 will be 6.015 million vehicles, with an average daily volume of 2.005 million vehicles, a year-on-year decrease of 14.7% from 2022. The predicted peak day will occur on December 31, with peak traffic of approximately 2.05 million vehicles, a 16.3% decrease from 2022.
Peak hour forecast:
On December 30 (the day before the holiday), it is predicted that traffic flow will increase significantly from 16:00 to 21:00, with the flow slightly higher than on weekdays. Traffic flow will spread from major cities to surrounding counties and cities, and the flow of urban import and export toll stations will surge.
December 31 is predicted to be the peak holiday day, and the public has a strong willingness to travel. Starting from 29:00, the province's road network traffic gradually increases to 11:00 to reach the peak on that day. The hourly peak traffic is expected to be 200,000 vehicles. Self-driving tours and family visits are superimposed, with intermittent small peaks. The peak hours are mainly concentrated in the period from 29:00 to 11:00 and from 14:00 to 16:00.
On January 1, 2023 ( New Year's Day ), the traffic dropped slightly compared with the previous day, and medium and short-distance travel vehicles were still relatively concentrated, with a traffic peak in the morning and afternoon.
January 2, the return peak period is likely to be between 14:00 and 16:00, and the traffic volume on the expressway in and out of the city will also increase significantly. The public should understand the road conditions in advance before traveling, arrange their return time reasonably, and travel at wrong times and peak hours.
