from september 30,south central axis road bus rapid transit lane except weekdays7:00-9:00、17:00-19:00in addition, public vehicles are allowed to use the road during other periods。according to the traffic control department, the renovation project of relevant road signs and markings has been completed.

on the morning of september 27, the reporter saw near the intersection of the south central axis bus rapid transit line (brt1) overpass that all the original closed guardrails on the lane had been removed. written with"social vehicles are allowed to pass on working days from 7:00 to 9:00, except 17:00 to 19:00"signboardalready set up.

this linestarting from demaozhuang in the south and ending at qianmen in the north,the total length is about 16km. it was put into operation on december 30, 2005. it has a total of 17 stations and is a left-hand door station. according to the brt setting standards, the section south of the overpass intersection and qianmen east road are fully closed brt lanes 24 hours a day, and are closed with isolation guardrails. in the early days of its opening, the average daily passenger flow of brt1 could reach 220,000. as the subway network continued to improve, the passenger flow gradually declined. especially after the southern section of metro line 8 was opened in 2018, the overlap between subway and bus lines was high, and the bus passenger flow further increased. the current average daily passenger flow is less than 20,000.24-hour fully closed bus lanes are a clear waste of road resources。

according to li lei, section chief of the order department of the traffic management bureau, the traffic management department has previously carried out multiple optimization and adjustment of bus lanes with optimization and adjustment conditions in addition to express bus lanes across the city, which has significantly improved the road traffic efficiency. this time in the south the optimization and adjustment of the central axis rapid transit lane is based on the previous optimization and adjustment of the dedicated bus lane.the first pilot attempt to optimize and adjust beijing’s bus rapid transit lanes. this adjustment does not change the nature of the brt lane. the section south of the overpass intersection of south central axis road.the brt lane is still set up on the innermost side, but the isolation guardrail has been removed.it is convenient for social vehicles to use the road during off-peak hours on weekends and weekdays to improve road traffic efficiency. at the same time, an auxiliary explanation has been added to the express bus lane sign that "social vehicles are allowed to pass through the lane, except 7:00-9:00 on weekdays and 17:00-19:00."

the reporter noticed that during the interview period, no public vehicles entered. li lei said that since all the signs are in place,the illegal time period for camera shooting has also been adjusted.even before september 30, public vehicles driving in during non-peak hours will not be photographed, so citizens can rest assured.

it should be noted that for intersections along the road, rapid transit buses still use the innermost lane.during the period when social vehicles use the road,you need to follow the direction of the rapid transit bus.it shall not be used as a left turn lane.and pay attention to the traffic lights when passing through intersections.

the reporter learned that since brt1 is equipped with left-hand doors, there is still a bus rapid transit platform in the center of the first line of the south central axis road. this renovation has set up bus bays at qualified points to ensure the safety of entering and exiting the station. some locations without conditions, bus rapid transit still needs to occupy the bus lane when parking. in order to ensure the safety of rapid transit buses entering and exiting the station, the traffic control department has added warning signs and ground text in front of the station, and also set up deceleration shock markings to remind the public that vehicles need to pay attention to safety and slow down when passing through.

li lei introduced that this adjustmentthe qianmen east road section is different from other sections.after dismantling the original isolation guardrail for rapid transit,the bus lane will be adjusted from the innermost part of the road dedicated to 24-hour rapid transit to the outermost common bus lane during morning and evening peak hours on weekdays.in addition to brt, other buses can also be used, further improving the utilization rate of road resources.

at present, the traffic control department has adjusted the "electronic police" equipment along the brt1 line and managed it according to the optimized usage time. at the same time, it has optimized and adjusted the signal timing at the intersections along the lines. when drivers pass a road marked with a dedicated bus lane, they should pay attention to the dedicated bus lane signs and ground markings. they are not allowed to use the dedicated bus lanes during the opening hours marked by the markings. at the same time, when driving a vehicle in or out of a road designated with a dedicated bus lane, it shall not affect the normal flow of vehicles in the dedicated bus lane.
