Every year on the eve of the Spring Festival, cars leaving the city from Guangdong must be blocked at the junction of Guangdong and Hunan. "South Hunan block" has become a curse that cannot be removed. is clearly a 5-hour highway ride, and can drive for a day and a night. So should Hunan take the blame? Is it wronged or not?
Zheng Fang said: It’s not unfair! Before the Spring Festival, the trains heading north of Guangdong were blocked in , southern Hunan , and the trains heading south of Guangdong were still blocked in southern Hunan after the Spring Festival. What's wrong with it?
The opposing side said: It’s very unfair! Why is the not blocked in normal times and is blocked during festivals? It is still a problem in Guangdong, who makes it so powerful? There are 5 reasons for the "South Hunan congestion" of the highway at
. It is really impossible to blame Hunan
. Reason 1. Guangdong Province GDP has entered the top ten in the world, which is equivalent to three Hunans. The population aggregation effect is obvious, and Hunan has become a gateway!
The latest announcement of Guangdong Province's GDP reached 12.4 trillion yuan, ranking among the top ten in the world. One province is equivalent to a country's economic scale, which naturally attracts people from all over the country to work hard in Guangdong.
The college roommate is from Hunan. After graduation, she went to Guangzhou to work hard. After many years, she encountered a problem. She originally wanted to settle in Guangzhou, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not afford the house there. If she returned to Hunan to develop, her salary would drop significantly. Therefore, she could only go back to her hometown for the Spring Festival every year to celebrate the New Year. She used to take a train back. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, she also bought a car this year and drove back to Hunan, but she was also stuck on the Hunan Expressway and could not move.
As Guangdai, there are many shadows of hard-working people. People from all over the country go to Guangdong to work hard with their dreams, but after many years, there has been no room for tiles, and the little savings they have struggled are not enough to gain a foothold. Going home for the New Year is a homesickness that cannot be given up, but there must be changes after working for a few years. Therefore, you have to buy a car even if you are struggling to save money, and you will not be laughed at by the villagers when you go back.
There are many people floating in the Guangxi, and there are more people who can’t afford a house but can afford a car. Therefore, when the festival comes, especially before the Spring Festival, there are a lot of people leaving the city from Guangzhou. The highway is in a blowout period. Hunan and Guangdong are bound to be the first to be distributed. This wave of rigid car owners is bound to be distributed, and there will inevitably be congestion for many cars.
Reason 2: The rebound of the epidemic has made many people choose to drive back home.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019, many people have chosen to celebrate the New Year at home for two years in order not to cause trouble for the country. But this year is the third Spring Festival, and many people can no longer hold on, and they have to go home even if they are on the road.
In the past, people who had more than 500 kilometers one-way would choose to take a plane or high-speed rail home, which can also alleviate the phenomenon of high-speed congestion. But this year's situation is special. Many people want to make their families safer in order to go home, so they have to drive by themselves. The key is that there are many people who have such ideas.
Going north from Guangzhou, basically you have to pass Hunan. As a southern economically powerful province, Guangdong attracts people from various provinces such as Northeast, Northwest, and Central China. They could have taken planes, but many people diverted to the highway and rushed back at concentrated time. For example, before the New Year's Eve and before New Year's Eve, the population concentration effect is more obvious, resulting in huge traffic flow.
Reason 3: The high-speed channel has gone from wide to narrow, and the bottleneck effect of is obvious.
Open the map and you will find that there are 4 highways going south to Guangdong in Hunan, and the highway in Hunan is two-way four-lane .
, but in the reverse direction, there are 6 highways from Guangdong to Hunan, and in Guangdong, there are basically two-way six-lane . The
collection point is in southern Hunan, so the question arises.
Take the one-way from Guangdong to Hunan as an example. There are 6 highways, 18 roads in one direction, and 4 highways in one direction, and 8 roads in one direction, which is more than twice as many people leave the city in Guangdong, but when they arrive in Hunan, they gather a few bottlenecks, and at this time the bottleneck effect occurs.
People who have driven the car know that whenever two roads meet or the lane becomes narrower, it will not only be congested during peak hours, but also usually there will be congestion. The traffic volume is high, but the traffic capacity is so large, so it would be strange if it is not congested.
Reason 4: There are many mountains, fog is a highway "killer"
There are many mountain ranges on the junction of Hunan and Guangdong, also called Nanling Mountains . The highway at the junction is mostly in mountainous sections. Even on sunny days, fog may appear. The most feared thing about driving at highway is the sudden fog.
To put it bluntly, many people don’t know how to turn on the fog light when they encounter fog. When driving in the fog, once the speed is too fast and the condition of the car ahead cannot be seen at all, it will inevitably lead to a car accident. There will be no accidents on the highway, and accidents are basically chain collisions, which will take a long time to get traffic jams.
Reason 5: There are many new drivers, especially those who want to return home in glory.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many people have to drive back when buying a car. But for novice drivers, they just got their driver's license not long after. Although the co-pilot was sitting in the old driver, they still panic on the highway and even do a lot of dangerous behaviors.
For example, driving at a snail speed, occupying high-speed overtaking lanes for a long time, and driving side by side with the driving lane, etc., these will cause congestion in the rear vehicles, which requires the "tidal effect".
The vehicle was originally driving at 120km/h, but it was quite smooth. The first car suddenly slowed down to 100km/h. At this time, the second car followed saw the brake lights of the car in front and immediately reduced the speed to 90km/h, because he was not sure that the car in front would not slow down suddenly. The third car looked at the second car slowing down, and he would reduce the speed to 80km/h... and so on. Although the car was still moving forward, the traffic jam caused by the slow driving of the car actually had no accidents ahead, but the speed just couldn't run.
This kind of traffic jam is common on highways. Many people who are stuck behind think that an accident occurred in front of them, but in fact there is no accident. These are the crimes caused by novice drivers.
So how to avoid traffic jams on highways, especially "strickenness in southern Hunan"?
First, off-peak travel
Although everyone is eager to go home, try not to concentrate on going home at a specific time. For example, many people are celebrating the New Year in the past few days, and many people are celebrating the New Year's Eve in a few days. There must be many people at these times. If you really want to travel, you should avoid it as much as possible.
Second, don’t drive snailly at speed
gets on the highway. Although the minimum speed is 60km/h, you can’t just run this number, otherwise you will be anxious to death by the car behind you, and you cannot occupy the overtaking lane for a long time, and don’t drive side by side with the car in the driving lane.
Third, don’t overtake at will
Many people are eager to go home and want to overtake as soon as they see the car. The overtaking habit is not good. They do not turn on the turn signal or double flash to remind other vehicles, which is easy to have an accident.
Fourth, it is best not to drive if you can not drive. It is better to take a train or plane when you go home.
Although it is an extraordinary time, it is best not to drive if you can not drive. Moreover, there has been rain and snow across the country in recent days, which is also a hidden danger for high-speed self-driving, because the temperature is low, the road is prone to freezing, and it is easy to slip when you get a fast speed. As long as you pay attention to protection when taking a train or plane, it is safer than driving.
to the end!
The trains going north from Guangdong are stuck in Hunan (South Hunan) area. cannot cover the pot on Hunan. After all, the large traffic flow in a short period of time is a test of the high-speed commuting ability in any province.
Finally, I hope all friends will get home safely. If you encounter traffic jams, don’t be anxious. Traffic jams are also experiences.
