The three-day National Day holiday is coming soon, and it is expected that a large number of people will travel to the Pingbei area of Ping County. The Ligang Branch of the Pingtung County Government Police Department has planned continuous holiday traffic diversion services for the tourist routes in six towns and villages under its jurisdiction, including Jiuru, Ligang, Gaoshu, Yanpu, Sandimen and Wutai. In particular, the popular tourist attractions "Wutai Shenshan Tribe" and the Provincial Highway 24 have been arranged to direct police forces to ensure smooth traffic flow.
The Shenshan tribe in 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 in 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 release the latest traffic conditions through the Sande Inspection Station and various electronic information boards (CMS). 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, in view of the characteristics of mountainous roads during the holidays, the police specifically appealed. Many sections of Provincial Highway 24 are winding and have steep slopes. The speed limit in mountainous areas is 30 kilometers, and some road sections are under construction. Passers-by must keep a safe driving distance when driving on mountainous roads, and do not cross the dividing line (double yellow line) to overtake, drive at high speed on blind curves, race behind the wheel 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. He also called on fellow villagers and tourists to abide by "driving without drinking, and do not drive after drinking" when gatherings and banquets. The police will not relax in the prevention and control of drunk driving during the holidays. We hope that every visitor to the Pingpei area can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests and return home safely.
