The central city of Chongqing has passed through the peak or ushered in new changes. On February 19th, the Traffic Patrol Corps of Chongqing Public Security Bureau issued the Notice on the Cross-peak Traffic of Bridges and Tunnels in the Central Urban Area (Draft for Comment), and the cross-peak traffic range will add the western channel "1 Bridge and 3 Tunnels".
Bridges and tunnels cross the peak during rush hours in downtown Chongqing.
On the basis of the original "15 bridges and 1 tunnel", the cross-peak traffic range in the central city of Chongqing has added the western channel "1 bridge and 3 tunnels", that is, the Shuangbei Bridge, Shuangbei Tunnel, University Town Tunnel and Zhongliangshan Tunnel have been added.
At present, the cross-peak traffic ranges are: Gaojia Garden Bridge, Gaojia Garden Bridge Double-track Bridge, Shimen Bridge (two-way), Jiahua Bridge (two-way), Yu ‘ao Bridge, Niujiaotuo Jialing River Bridge, huanghuayuan bridge (two-way), Qiansimen Bridge (two-way), Chaotianmen Bridge (two-way), Dongshuimen Bridge (two-way), Shibanpo Yangtze River Bridge and Shibanpo Yangtze River Bridge Double-track.
In 2022, the notice of bridge and tunnel staggered peak traffic in the central city of Chongqing added "1 bridge and 3 tunnels" to the western passage.
The cross-peak traffic object has also been adjusted from the original "all Chongqing-registered vehicles" to "all Chongqing-registered and non-Chongqing-registered vehicles", and foreign vehicles have also been included in the cross-peak traffic object.
The contents of peak-hour traffic, peak-hour traffic vehicle number plates and models not restricted by peak-hour traffic remain unchanged.
"The bridge and tunnel peak crossing policy has achieved good results since it was put into operation for one year. However, with the continuous growth of car ownership in Chongqing and the continuous expansion of urban construction scale, the traffic flow in high-tech zones and other regions is increasing, which also leads to increased traffic congestion pressure. " According to the relevant person in charge of the Traffic Patrol Corps of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, by the end of 2021, the number of cars in Chongqing had reached 5,454,200, including 1,941,000 in the central city, an increase of 133,000. In order to continue to alleviate the traffic pressure in the city, this notice will include the "one bridge and three tunnels" in the western passage into the peak-crossing range to ensure the smooth and orderly operation of road traffic in the central city.
In addition, the person in charge also said that according to the traffic big data monitoring, foreign vehicles account for more than 7% of the vehicles passing through bridges and tunnels in the central city, and the average daily traffic volume reaches 100,000 vehicles/day. In order to ensure the maximum effect of off-peak traffic, and to avoid off-peak traffic by buying cars from other places, off-peak traffic is implemented synchronously for foreign cars.
"This Notice shall come into force from March 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023." The relevant person in charge of the Traffic Patrol Corps of Chongqing Public Security Bureau said that for vehicles that violate the regulations on peak-to-peak traffic, they will impose a fine of 3 points on 100 yuan according to the punishment regulations for violating traffic ban signs by means of electronic snapshot and on-site law enforcement. At the same time, the traffic control department will increase the investigation and punishment of serious illegal acts such as fake deck cards and blocking number plates.
