The Hehuanshan Highway on Provincial Line 14A in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, was originally scheduled to implement high-occupancy control during the Liberation Day holiday from October 24 to 26. However, the control was not implemented on the 24th due to the impact of Typhoon Qiangbi. The Highway Bureau assessed that the weather had stabilized after the typhoon was far away, and the high-occupancy control was resumed on the 25th and 26th. The public was reminded that road conditions were unstable after the typhoon and they should avoid going to mountainous areas unless necessary.

The Puli Public Works Section of the Highway Bureau stated that Provincial Highway 14A has a narrow width and winding road. In order to prevent excessive traffic or illegal parking of vehicles from affecting traffic, high occupancy control will be implemented for any holidays that last more than 3 days. The controlled road section is from the 18K Cuifeng Control Station of Provincial Highway 14A to the 41.5K Dayu Ling intersection. Cars must have more than 3 people to pass. Passenger shuttles, Class B buses, and motorcycles are not restricted, and large trucks are prohibited from entering.

The Puli Public Works Department said that due to the impact of the typhoon on the 24th, wind and rain on the Hehuanshan Highway were not controlled. The weather is expected to stabilize on the 25th and 26th, and high-passenger traffic will be restarted. In addition to calling on passers-by to cooperate, it also reminded that road conditions in mountainous areas are unstable after the typhoon, and people should avoid going up the mountain.
