A 30-meter-tall Mazu stone statue was set up in the Da'an Port Mazu Cultural Park. It was inaugurated on the 3rd of this month and attracted tourists from all over the world. The number of people entering the park increased by more than 3,000 people a day on weekends, but it also caused traffic problems. In order to facilitate tourists, the Dajia Branch today called on the public to drive to the Da'an Port Mazu Park. There are parking lot signs in front of the Haiqian Police Station and along Zhongshan North Road in Da'an District. People can follow the signs to guide them to nearby parking lots.
In addition, along Zhongshan North Road in Da'an District, although there are white lines along the road, no red (yellow) lines are drawn. However, due to the small road space, the white line is the 15 cm wide road surface edge. When parking, tourists may mistakenly think that the white line can park, but it will cause illegal parking and affect the passage of passing vehicles. Branch A will place traffic cones on this section of the road during the holidays to remind the public that parking is prohibited on this section of the road, and will send personnel to conduct traffic diversion. If the public obstructs traffic, they will also be prosecuted in accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations to maintain the safety and smoothness of the overall road environment.
