Why are the roads in Guangzhou so blocked?

First, urban planning is unreasonable. Separation of occupation and residence is the biggest cause of congestion. Guangzhou is a typical "pie-spreading" mode. The city is expanding layer by layer, and many people live outside the city and work in the city. In the morning rush hour, people should "advance" to the city center; At night rush hour, we will go out of town together. Second, the road design is unscientific. Fan Li, a well-known expert on motor vehicle driver training and safe driving behavior in China, said that Beijing's loop timing did not take into account such a large flow, and there were many unreasonable entrances and exits. From the auxiliary road to the main road, most of the entrances and exits are together, and there are often traffic jams here. In big cities, right-turn vehicles often collide with pedestrian zebra crossings. "There is a Japanese crossing the street from the sidewalk in Shanghai. Because the right-turn vehicle occupied the road, he kept waiting and never crossed the road for a day. " Third, public transportation is not satisfactory. If there are many repeated bus lines, there is no integration; The route design is not scientific enough. People spend a lot of time waiting for buses and changing trains. Some people even have to wait for several hours, and sometimes they have to walk one or two kilometers to get to the station, which greatly reduces work efficiency. Fourth, the number of private cars has increased. It is predicted that the number of cars in China will exceed 654.38 billion in 2020. Gao, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the State Key Laboratory of Automobile Safety and Energy Conservation of Tsinghua University, said that at present, 70% of the roads are private cars, and 70% of them are driven by one person in the morning and evening rush hours. These vehicles occupy 50% of traffic resources, but only transport less than 5% of travelers, wasting limited road resources. Fifth, the lack of "traffic morality". Statistics at home and abroad show that the danger a driver encounters in daily driving is 100 times abroad and 150 times at home. Among them, 95% of the dangers are caused by violations. Fan Li said that in Beijing, quite a few drivers don't obey the traffic rules, and congestion and random lane changes can be seen everywhere. The accident will be blocked for several hours.

In fact, this problem is closely related to each of our drivers. In some developed cities, the car density is much higher than Guangzhou, but the traffic order and flow are much better than Guangzhou. Besides better transportation facilities, the quality of drivers also plays an equally important role. If each of us can master better driving skills and have more qualified psychological quality, the traffic in Guangzhou will get better and better. Do you have the following driving problems? These problems often lead to traffic jams and even accidents around us. We should avoid these bad habits and contribute to the smooth road of our country.

Start slowly before the green light.

It is obvious to all that domestic drivers have rude driving styles. But at the moment when the green light started, most drivers suddenly became individual and started slowly, finally showing a little gentlemanly demeanor, but unfortunately, the slow start pressed the vehicles behind them into a long queue. Some car owners even went into a state of "meditation" while waiting for the red light, but even though the green light was on, they still stood still until they were awakened by the horn behind them. In developed countries, you may find that pedestrians and other vehicles can be polite when the vehicle is driving normally, but when the red light turns green, the driver rudely steps on the accelerator, even if it is only a car with a displacement of 1 liter, it is squatting forward. Is that showing off the power of the vehicle? Of course not. As the first car before the green light, it is obliged to start as soon as possible, so that the road after birth will not be blocked by other vehicles. Suggestion: As the first car before the green light, start fast. At the same time, before the green light, large and small vehicles should be parked in separate lanes. The acceleration of goods and buses will still affect the normal start of the car.

Don't walk in the prescribed lane.

At present, traffic violations that do not follow the prescribed lanes have been gradually taken seriously by traffic control departments. In some strict road sections, it is possible to be punished for occupying the overtaking lane for a long time, for large trucks to take the small lane, and for cars to overtake in the slow lane. However, most domestic car owners have not realized the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, it is not uncommon to drive in the prescribed lanes in expressway, especially in ordinary expressway, where lane separation is poor in the city. Most car owners do not have these concepts. Small cars drill at the crack, and big cars naturally occupy the fast lane, which is an important reason for the chaotic traffic environment and frequent accidents in domestic cities. There are inherent differences between large cars and small cars in power and braking performance. If you drive in the same lane, these situations will inevitably happen. Suggestion: Although it will never take you a day or two to realize that "everyone is really fast", in fact, compared with keeping the lane, driving left and right is not only unsafe, but also not much faster.

I don't know how to avoid it.

Many times, traffic jams are caused by vehicles not giving way to each other. It turned out that there were only two cars to outdo each other. There are more and more cars, and finally they are intertwined and become a big traffic jam. However, the problem of "giving way" that may be faced in the daily driving process can really not be summarized as "turning motor vehicles let straight vehicles go first, and right-turning motor vehicles driving in the opposite direction let left-turning vehicles go first". For example, if two ramps merge into one lane, how can they merge with adjacent vehicles? In some areas, the traffic police will ask the vehicles on the two ramps to merge alternately; When the last wave of traffic jam has not passed the intersection, can it pass under the green light? In fact, this "green light" situation is considered illegal in many cities. Suggestion: Actually, the yield rule is set to ease traffic. Due to the changeable traffic conditions, there are endless traffic rules, and it doesn't matter if you can't remember them clearly. In the process of driving, as long as we focus on the overall situation and don't blindly see the needle, it is the best understanding of giving way.

The tourist route planning is unreasonable.

Many drivers complain that they often encounter traffic jams when driving on the road. Poor traffic conditions are certainly one of the reasons, but as a driver, have you planned your own travel route reasonably? After all, private cars are not buses, so there is no need to take a fixed route. If you know that there is a serious traffic jam on a certain section, but you are still accustomed to taking this road, it can be said that encountering traffic jams is asking for trouble, wasting your precious time and adding "blocking" to road congestion. Just as GPS navigation can choose the nearest route and high-speed route independently, you can also plan the fastest route for yourself before each trip. It may not be recent, and it may even be necessary to pay some road and bridge fees, but it is still worth weighing compared with the time-consuming and fuel-consuming traffic jam. In addition, reasonable arrangement of travel time is also the focus of some experienced old drivers. Suggestion: Although the driving mode of sewing needles is disgusting, in order to reduce road congestion and save your precious time, if you predict that there will be congestion ahead, please "sew needles" and choose some back streets and alleys to bypass.

Small accident street theory

I believe that most drivers have had the experience of standing in a traffic jam and arguing with others because they collided with other vehicles. In most cases, the result of the argument for half a day is still to ask the traffic police to follow the normal procedure, while the traffic team behind is blocked for half a day in vain. At present, many cities have implemented quick handling schemes for minor accidents. As long as it is not a serious accident, the Agreement on Rapid Handling of Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents must be signed on the premise of mutual consent, and then the insurance company can handle the claim settlement procedures. In some cities, if you should leave the scene by yourself, the traffic police will drag the vehicle to a place that does not hinder traffic; Causing traffic jams, the driver shall be fined in 200 yuan according to law; Drivers who commit other traffic violations shall be punished according to law. Suggestion: Now that the quick handling scheme for minor accidents has been implemented, we can't let the roads be congested and sit back and argue with others. In areas where this regulation has not been implemented or is not strictly implemented, in order not to aggravate traffic congestion, we should try our best to solve minor accidents quickly through private means.

Occupy the opposite lane

There is a situation that annoys drivers most: on one side there is traffic jam, and on the other side there are few cars, everyone is waiting patiently. At this time, a car is walking backwards like nobody's business, so natural and unrestrained! Unfortunately, it wasn't long before it was blocked by reversing. That's great. The original one-way traffic jam has now become a two-way traffic jam. It used to take a little time to become fluent, but now I can't see it. This is a typical "blocking". In most sections marked with double solid lines, for the sake of safety and traffic regulations, overtaking may not be much, but in some unmarked inner streets and lanes, drivers need to be self-disciplined and do not occupy the opposite lane. It may not be caught by the traffic police here, and it may not be dangerous, but for your own convenience, it may cause serious traffic jams. Suggestion: Many times, driving habits reflect the driver's personality. In order to run two steps quickly, he did not hesitate to occupy the opposite lane, which eventually led to traffic jams and harm to others. This shows that the driver is not only selfish, but also not smart.

Missing the intersection, risk merging.

For many novices or foreign drivers, it is common to miss or be about to miss the intersection carelessly. If you don't miss it, it's easy to do. Even in the fast lane, cross several lanes and don't go out. If you just miss the intersection, as long as there are not many cars on the road, most drivers will risk reversing and returning to the intersection. These risky behaviors have seriously affected the traffic flow, so the accompanying vehicles must slow down or even change lanes. Once an accident occurs, it will be more congested. Suggestion: Familiarity with the route is a prerequisite for every driver. If you are really unfamiliar, you should also do a "preview" on the map before you travel, and turn into the slow lane ahead of time when you arrive at your destination to minimize the occurrence of missing intersections. In fact, whether for safety reasons or to avoid violation of regulations or traffic jams, once you miss the intersection or are quite close to it, and you are still in the fast lane, I suggest you move on to the next intersection and detour back to the original route.
