How does Shanghai respond?, Overlay holiday return traffic, rainstorm warning, road section ponding Pudong New Area | road | return
On the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the Shanghai Meteorological Department issued a yellow rainstorm warning and a blue gale warning. Last night's continuous rainfall has caused ponding in some sections of the city. At the same time, with the arrival of heavy traffic during the holiday return journey, how can we cope with traffic pressure and ensure road traffic safety and order?
The reporter learned from the Shanghai police that the city's traffic police departments are conducting dynamic monitoring of 603 underground trading waterlogging points in the city, and working together with obstacle clearance, maintenance, and water management departments to increase the reserve of pumping and drainage facilities, so as to timely carry out drainage disposal and guide people and vehicles to detour according to the "one by one plan". At present, only the S20 Jieya Road underpass in Pudong New Area, the Wenju Entrance in the outer circle of G1503 in Pudong New Area, the G2 Wuchao Pedestrian Road underpass in Jiading District, and the Lianyang Road underpass on the Shanghai Hangzhou Railway in Songjiang District have experienced road waterlogging in the entire city of Shanghai, which has been completely sealed off. The police have dispatched police to guide passing vehicles to avoid traffic, and the relevant water department has arrived at the scene to handle it.
Under heavy rainfall, accidents of vehicles breaking down and wading in water often occur. At around 7 o'clock in the morning, two vehicles broke down in the water at the Wenju Road toll station on the outer circle of G1503. Police officers from the high-speed brigade of the Traffic Police Detachment of Pudong Public Security Bureau rushed to the scene for rescue and temporarily closed off the waterlogged road section. The reporter learned from the Pudong traffic police department that this morning, the overall road situation in the jurisdiction was stable, but under heavy rainfall, there were varying degrees of road surface water at the S20 Jieya Road overpass and the entrance of Wenju in the outer circle of G1503 in Pudong New Area. The traffic police detachment strengthens road patrols through video and road patrols, especially in areas prone to waterlogging such as underpasses. They specifically implement police force to strengthen guidance and control, and promptly deal with police incidents such as vehicle breakdowns.

The continuation of the "violent plum blossom" has led to slippery roads, heavy rain, and the return passenger flow during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. It has also posed challenges to emergency response work such as traffic diversion and public security prevention and control. The police predict that the peak return time for the Dragon Boat Festival will start at 14:00 today. On June 21st and 22nd, the outbound traffic flow of G40 Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel and Bridge was maintained at around 60000 vehicles, an increase from the same period in the previous three years.
In response to this situation, the Chongming police deployed police forces to reinforce the highway brigade, with three shifts in the morning, middle, and evening stationed 24 hours a day at the main bridge deck and other points of the G40 Yangtze River Bridge. They arranged for road clearing vehicles to wait together and quickly handle sudden accidents. At the same time, dedicated accident police officers have been deployed at the Chenhai toll gate, Changxing service area, and other locations to facilitate specialized handling of complex accidents. In addition, flow limiting measures are dynamically implemented at points such as Changxing Service Area through segmented flow restriction to control the flow entering the G40 main line and ensure smooth and orderly overall traffic of the bridge and tunnel.
To cope with the possible impact of rain on return peak travel, all public security and traffic police officers in Shanghai are on duty. Police forces will be deployed at various highway intersections and elevated roads entering the city, and two rounds of patrol will be added. In response to vehicles that break down due to accidents, precipitation, and other reasons, the Transportation Commission and Water Bureau will work together to carry out a three department linkage, dispatch more tractors, prepare temporary mobile water pumps, and quickly clear road blockages. Due to rainstorm, the Sansong Line of the ferry route has been suspended.

At present, the overall traffic situation of major roads, elevated highways, and expressways in the city is smooth and orderly, and the transportation within the city is in a low operating state.
