q1: during the national day holiday, during which periods do the passenger and vehicle traffic volumes increase? which areas are prone to congestion?
on september 26, multiple departments in beijing held a press conference on transportation guarantees during the national day holiday. zhao zilong, member of the party leadership group and deputy director of the beijing municipal transportation commission, introduced that the national day holiday is approaching and large-scale activities will be rich and colorful during the holiday. outskirts and travel in key areas of the city are concentrated, and traffic volume and passenger flow are expected to exceed the levels of the same period in 2023. it is expected that the traffic operation during the "national day" seven-day holiday will show"overall growth, concentrated hot spots, and prominent peaks"characteristics.
in terms of travel options, long-distance cross-city travel and self-driving travel are increasing, and intercity passenger volume and highway traffic volume are at high levels.
from the perspective of travel time, the traffic pressure during the seven-day holiday will show a trend of "high at both ends, low in the middle, with front out and back in".on the day before the holiday and on the first day of the holiday, the passenger flow and vehicle flow out of beijing are concentrated, and on the last two days, the return passenger flow and traffic flow are large.
lines connecting transportation hubs, popular parks and scenic spots, and stations are under great pressure on passenger flow during peak hours. especially in the late holidays, there are more passengers arriving at airports and train stations, and the pressure on urban transportation is greater.
daily 10:00-12:00, 16:00-18:00, the traffic pressure around popular scenic spots and business districts is relatively high. popular scenic spots in the city such as xiangshan, national botanical garden, forbidden city, qianmen, temple of heaven park, universal studios and other surrounding areas, the beijing garden expo during the lantern festival, the national tennis center during the china open, and shougang during the wtt table tennis china grand slam. park, the traffic pressure on some surrounding road sections is concentrated for a short time. popular business districts such as hopson hui, blue harbor, sanlitun, wangfujing, xidan and other surrounding local roads and parking lot entrances and exits are prone to slow queues during peak hours.
the passenger flow pressure at stations related to popular rail transit lines such as line 1, line 2, line 4, line 6, line 7, line 8, line 16, and xijiao line is relatively concentrated.
ground bus lines and stations around park scenic spots and restaurants have large short-term passenger flows. dongzhimen, deshengmen and other transportation stations are connected to tourist attractions and suburban areas with many bus lines.the passenger flow is concentrated between 9 and 11 a.m., and it is easy for passengers to queue up.

traffic pressure on beijing's expressways during this year's national day holiday is high. it is estimated that the average daily traffic volume on expressways will be about 2.7 million vehicles, an increase of 4% compared with the same period in 2023.
in view of the heavy traffic pressure at the beginning and end of highway holidays, we will strengthen traffic service guarantees,all toll-free lanes are open with "lever poles" lifted, ensuring 100% lane opening rate during peak hours.increase the backup force, pre-position rescue equipment, strengthen patrol inspections, and cooperate with the traffic police to deal with traffic accidents quickly. optimize service guarantees in service areas, strengthen parking guidance, and improve service quality such as dining, charging, and toileting.
