How to deal with heavy pick-up and drop-off traffic? , Hongqiao hub will receive its largest passenger flow this year on October 6
According to predictions from the transportation department, from September 27 to October 8 this year, the cumulative number of passengers arriving and departing from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station will reach 7.09 million, and the average daily passenger flow is expected to exceed 590,000. Among them, October 6 will usher in a return peak of nearly 386,000 people, exceeding the maximum flow of people during this year’s Spring Festival, May Day and Dragon Boat Festival holidays, and will usher in the highest travel peak in Hongqiao hub this year.
Based on the objective data of various holidays this year, combined with the opportunity of upgrading and reconstruction of the Hongqiao Hub West Traffic Platform, the Shanghai Public Security Traffic Police Department, together with relevant functional departments, launched the "100-Day Action" for the comprehensive management of the Hongqiao Hub as early as August. Optimize the hardware conditions and related supporting services of the Hongqiao Railway Station regional transportation organization, jointly improve the traffic management capabilities of the hub area, and be fully prepared to deal with the "large passenger flow" in the Hongqiao Railway Station area.
"Upgrade the garage and add guidance" to improve the efficiency of garage circulation
According to the latest news from the Municipal Transportation Commission, the P9 and P10 parking lots have been upgraded before the National Day holiday, adding 1,000 parking spaces. The West Transportation Center has targeted the entrance and exit gates of the two parking lots. There are 4 parking lots. 1 entrance and 4 exits were put into trial operation. After the current upgrade, the number of entry and exit gates has been increased to 7 and 16 respectively, which is more than 30% more than before. Taking the P9 parking lot as an example, after the renovation, it is expected that 45 vehicles can leave the parking lot per minute.
It is reported that during this holiday, in the long-distance passenger transport Hongqiao Station arrival area, a new night taxi emergency pick-up point will be activated after 22:00 every day. Relevant staff will strengthen internal guidance of the passenger transport station to divert passengers to the top in a timely manner. passenger points, speeding up evacuation and reducing waiting time in queues. In view of the frequent congestion in the P9 and P10 parking lots, the local Xinhong Police Station police, Minhang public welfare volunteers and parking garage administrators will actively carry out people and vehicles in the parking garage.
On the eve of the holiday, the Shanghai police have worked with the Municipal Transportation Commission and garage management units to further rationally guide signs and optimize signage in the garage. Obvious signage has been set up at the corners of the garage to facilitate driver identification and smooth passage. At present, more than 50 relevant guidance signs have been added inside the parking garage, mainly indicating the specific directions of taking subways, buses and taxis, making it easier for travelers to know their destination.
"Road reconstruction and optimization cycle" maintains normal traffic on roads
During previous holidays and summer travel periods, roads on the west side of Hongqiao hub such as Suhong Road, Shaohong Road, Zhouhong Road, and Shenhong Road have played a certain positive role in evacuating traffic flow, but there are still a large number of private cars operating randomly in the above areas. Illegal behaviors such as parking and illegal U-turns objectively cause traffic chaos.
At present, the traffic police department has changed Suhong Road and Zhouhong Road into a one-way street from west to east, and Shaohong Road into a one-way street from east to west, and widened it from the original two lanes to three lanes. After adopting the above-mentioned diversions, vehicles are not allowed to turn around and park at will in the above-mentioned areas to reduce traffic jams caused by vehicle interweaving.
The road traffic organization around Hongqiao hub has been optimized and adjusted
When the parking capacity of P9 parking lot reaches saturation, the local traffic police will initiate large and small circulation, remote diversion and other measures. The police will set up temporary traffic control measures at the Songze elevated off-ramp on site, connecting Shengui-Yanghong-Shenchang-Jianhong It is set as a large enclosed area, and a "large and small circulation" detour plan in the north has been formed to guide vehicles into the peripheral area of the hub and select social parking lots for parking as appropriate.
When the parking capacity of P10 parking lot reached saturation, the police set up temporary traffic control measures under the Jianhong Elevated Highway on site, activated the "small circulation" plan in the south, and guided vehicles on site to bypass Jianhong Road-Shenchang Road to Hongqiao Business District for parking. field. The above two "north-south circulation" are upgrade plans of the original "large and small circulation", and the police will also adjust and optimize them in time according to the traffic conditions.
Hongqiao hub P9 and P10 parking garages are about to be opened
In addition, in order to meet the objective needs of picking up and dropping off passengers, during the long holiday, the police set up temporary pick-up and drop-off points for public vehicles on Suhong Road, Shaohong Road, and Zhouhong Road, marked parking numbers, and added isolation facilities. The police also called on drivers to share public resources, strictly abide by the "stop and go" principle, and actively cooperate with the guidance of on-site police and staff.
"Real-time attention to remote guidance" highland linkage actively diverts traffic
As some road sections in the hub area have adopted comprehensive supporting measures such as widening the road width, adding new channels, and adjusting lanes, the entrance and exit channels of the parking lot and the surrounding road traffic organization have undergone major changes. Some drivers are concerned about the adjusted traffic organization, facilities, and signs. If they are not adaptable and fail to observe, they are prone to traffic violations such as illegal U-turns, random lane changes, illegal parking, etc., which objectively affects the traffic efficiency in key areas and important periods.
In this regard, the Minhang police will continue to pay more attention to the road network around Hongqiao Railway Station, and conduct timely research and analysis based on real-time road traffic and congestion conditions. In particular, uninterrupted video inspections are carried out on important elevated ramps, roads, entrances and exits to achieve early detection and early disposal of congestion nodes and traffic accidents.
To meet the demand for pick-up and drop-off vehicles, the police have set up stop-and-go parking spaces.
At the same time, the police will also work with the district traffic administrative law enforcement brigade to carry out joint check-in inspections during the holidays, intensify efforts to combat stubborn traffic problems such as illegal passenger transport and taxi entry prohibitions, and strive to standardize the order of passenger transport in key areas.
At present, according to the data from the previous stage, during the peak period, vehicles intensively drive into the hub area from the Hongzhai, Hongyu, Jianhong, and Songze elevated highways, and it is extremely easy for multiple lanes to merge into the hub area at the same time.
The traffic police department will adopt temporary road control measures of "remote diversion" and "alternating traffic", and widen one lane of the Hongzhai Elevated Yanghong Road off-ramp to the right auxiliary road to divert the original Hongzhai Elevated Highway. For traffic entering the core area of the hub, relevant transit traffic can directly leave the relevant congestion area through Xihong Road.
