The four-day Mid-Autumn Festival and Teacher's Day will begin on the 25th. It is expected that a large number of people will take advantage of the crisp autumn air to travel to the Pingtai area to enjoy the moon for vacation. The Ligang Branch of the Pingtung County Government Police Department has planned continuous holiday traffic diversion services for the six towns and villages under its jurisdiction, including Jiuru, Ligang, Gaoshu, Yanpu, Sandimen and Wutai. In particular, the Wutai Shenshan Tribe, an original township attraction, and along Provincial Highway 24 have arranged dedicated police personnel to divert traffic to ensure smooth traffic flow.
The Shenshan Tribe of Wutai Township is famous for its magnificent Guchuan Bridge, special Aiyu Ice and aboriginal delicacies. It attracts a large number of cars every holiday. Due to the narrow alleys and limited parking space within the Shenshan Tribe, the Ligang Police Station predicts that there will be peak traffic flow from 10 am to 3 pm every day during the holidays. In addition to strengthening traffic flow guidance at important intersections along Provincial Highway 24, the police will also keep track of the parking saturation around Shenshan and Wutai Tribes, and immediately announce the latest road conditions through the Sande Checkpoint and electronic information boards everywhere. The police remind tourists who plan to go up the mountain to try to leave as early as possible in the morning to avoid the traffic flow, and to park their vehicles in order according to the on-site guidance. Do not park randomly or illegally on narrow curves or road sections, so as not to obstruct the passage of people and vehicles.

In addition, due to the characteristics of mountainous roads during the holidays, the police specifically called for the fact that many sections of Provincial Highway 24 are winding and have steep slopes, and the speed limit in mountainous areas is 30 kilometers. Passers-by must keep a safe driving distance when driving on mountainous roads, and are strictly prohibited from crossing the divergence restriction lines (double yellow lines), overtaking, driving at high speed on blind curves, racing while driving, and other dangerous driving behaviors. During the holidays, the police will continue to strengthen speed monitoring and crack down on violations in mountainous areas, making every effort to prevent dangerous driving and maintain road quality.
Ligang Police Branch Chief Qiu Yiqiao said that when entering the tribal living area, please slow down, give way to local pedestrians, and follow the instructions of the on-site police and volunteers. At the same time, he called on villagers and tourists to observe "driving without drinking, and not driving after drinking" when celebrating the festival. The police will not relax in the prevention and control of drunk driving during the holidays, so that every visitor to the Pingpei area can happily enjoy the beautiful mountains and forests and return home safely.
