Before the holiday, the central city will continue to be "seriously congested"! Guangzhou releases traffic forecast for National Day holiday.

On September 27th, the transportation department of Guangzhou released the forecast of traffic travel during the National Day holiday. It is predicted that during the National Day holiday, citizens’ travel demand will be released in a centralized way, mainly for long-distance travel, returning home, visiting relatives and friends, etc. It is estimated that the four modes of transportation in Guangzhou will reach about 10.222 million passengers, an increase of about 2.2% compared with 2023.
The night before the festival, the peak traffic pressure was heavy.
The central city will continue to be "seriously congested"
The traffic pressure on the roads in the city is mainly concentrated in the evening rush hour on the day before the festival (September 30). Due to the superposition of multiple factors such as commuting, leisure and entertainment after work, and traveling out of the city in advance, the traffic pressure in the city during the evening rush hour will be significantly higher than usual.Around 15: 00, the central city entered the traffic state of "moderate congestion" in advance, and the travel was particularly concentrated from 16: 00 to 19: 00, during which the overall traffic in the central city will continue to be in a state of "serious congestion".. Compared with the evening peak on the first day before Mid-Autumn Festival, the evening peak on the last working day before National Day was one hour earlier, and the peak duration was extended by half an hour, and it gradually eased after 20:30. In terms of local traffic, the main trunk roads in the city, such as Inner Ring Road, Dongfeng Road, Zhongshan Avenue, Huangpu Avenue, Tianhe Road, Huanshi Road, Guangyuan Road and Guangzhou Avenue, and the main passages in and out of the city, such as Guang Yuan Expressway, Xinguang Expressway, Liede Bridge, Keyun Road and South China Expressway, have dense traffic.
Prediction of Easy-to-Slow Road Sections in the Central City during the rush hour the night before the festival.
During the holiday period, the overall traffic in the central city runs smoothly, and it is generally maintained in a state of "basically unblocked" to "slightly congested". Citizens travel mainly for leisure and entertainment, sightseeing and shopping. Popular business districts such as Beijing Road and Zhengjia Square, landmark attractions such as Baiyun Mountain, Yuexiu Park, Guang Zhouta and Yongqingfang are popular, and theme parks and ecological leisure farms in the peripheral areas are also hot spots for citizens to travel. In the second half of the holiday, with the increase of outbound and return passenger flow, the traffic volume of the main trunk roads and access roads connected with the periphery is large, and there may be congestion and slow traffic in some periods.
The peak of leaving the city will appear on the day before the festival and the first day of the holiday.
These sections are heavily trafficked.
The 7-day National Day holiday, coupled with a suitable climate, has greatly increased the demand of citizens for festivals and outings, especially for long-distance self-driving trips, which has put great pressure on the operation of expressways in Guangzhou. estimateThe peak of leaving the city appears at 8: 00 -24: 00 on the day before the holiday (September 30th) and at 9: 00 -18: 00 on the first day of the holiday (October 1st).During the period, local sections of main passages such as South China Expressway (Longdong Toll Station-Chungang Interchange), Airport Expressway (Sanyuanli Interchange-Pingsha Interchange) and Beihuan Expressway (Shabei Interchange Node) are prone to queue for a long distance and time. On the whole, the traffic pressure in the direction of leaving the city in the north is relatively high. It is suggested that citizens leaving the city in the north can bypass the relatively smooth expressways such as Guangqing Expressway, North Third Ring Expressway and Jiebei Expressway or bypass the national and provincial highways to continue northward.The return peak is expected to be concentrated at 14: 00 -22: 00 on the last three days of the holiday (October 5 -7).During the period, the traffic volume of external passages such as North Ring Expressway and Airport Expressway was large.

Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway Shabei Service Area, Hengsha Service Area, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway Wayaogang Service Area, Guanghe Expressway Zhengguo Service Area, Daguang Expressway Conghua Service Area, Leguang Expressway Huacheng Service Area, Shenhai Expressway (North Second Ring Road) Huocun Service Area and Pearl River Delta Ring Expressway (North Third Ring Road) Xin ‘an Service Area are expected to have dense traffic in some periods, which is likely to cause vehicles to queue up to enter the service area, and there may be traffic backflow affecting the main line.
On October 1, passengers concentrated on travel.
Urban passenger stations will meet the peak passenger flow.
It is expected that on October 1st, passengers will travel in groups, and the urban passenger station will usher in a peak passenger flow, mainly to Foshan, Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, Dongguan and other cities. Please make reasonable travel plans for citizens and friends.
The transportation department of Guangzhou reminded that citizens should make relevant preparations in advance, make reasonable arrangements for peak trips, ensure smooth travel, and follow the order by plane, train, subway, bus and other means of transportation.
