On Monday morning rush hour, many citizens were worried that the road would be affected by the strong wind, rain and snow the night before, so they went out early, but the road was clean and there was no water and ice, which was no different from the usual Monday morning rush hour. Changjiang Daily reporter learned from the traffic control department that in order to cope with the bad weather, the city’s traffic police took to the streets overnight and made a series of preparations.
The reporter learned from the Command and Dispatching Center of the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau that the command rooms of all districts in the city report the road traffic conditions and road icing conditions every hour from 0: 00. The command room of the senior management brigade is equipped with standby forces on duty to grasp the road conditions in time through video, the temperature conditions of departmental bridges in time through the traffic video analysis application system, and the bad weather warning information is released in time through 12 LED screens on the road and 30 screens of 12 toll stations.
The high-speed traffic control brigade also contacted the maintenance, road administration and rescue units in advance, prepared more than 400 tons of snow melting agent, 13 snow shovels and spreaders, 12 maintenance patrol vehicles and 8 rescue vehicles, and more than 80 road administration and maintenance personnel arrived in advance. More than 2,000 reflective cones and more than 50 warning signs were set up on key bridges to make emergency preparations for snow melting and antifreeze. According to the snowy road conditions, from 21: 30, 105 tons of salt and snow melting agent were spread on key road sections such as the outer ring road, the second passage of the airport and the western section of the fourth ring road, and various emergency treatments for snow melting and thawing were done in advance.
Optical Valley Traffic Police prepared and installed 40 emergency signs, 300 reflective conical barrels and 200 water horses in advance. On the evening of 13th, additional police forces were sent to direct traffic at major intersections, so as to find and eliminate traffic safety hazards at intersections such as bridges, sharp bends and poor sight, accident-prone sections and easy-to-block sections in time. Cooperate with road administration, maintenance and other departments to clear snow and prevent skidding, and throw snow melting agent on the snowy road surface at the first time to prevent the accumulation of snow on the road surface from melting and freezing. Electronic guidance screens constantly remind drivers to drive slowly and keep a safe distance at important sections such as Guanggu Turntable, Minzu Avenue, Gaoxin Avenue, National Highway 316 and Third Ring Road.
The traffic police on the riverbank will move at the sight of snow, and at the same time, they will increase the road police force, and at the same time, they will grasp the traffic road surface and facilities in the jurisdiction in real time through video inspection and road patrol control. The combination of road police and facilities patrol inspection will ensure the smooth traffic road surface and good facilities in the jurisdiction. Sixteen rain and snow weather warning signs prepared in advance will be placed at the diversion turnouts of Wuhan Avenue and Jiangbei Expressway overnight, and at the same time, 50 tons of salt, 1,000 straw mats, 1,000 shovels, 2 snow melting vehicles and 500 snow chains will be reserved, and snow melting and anti-skid materials will be loaded to deal with sudden warning on the road caused by bad weather at any time.
With the city’s traffic police ready, there was no icy road section in the central city of the city on Monday morning peak, and the road traffic situation was the same as the usual Monday morning peak.
