On the third day of the National Day holiday, national road traffic volume fell but remained at a high level

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 3 (Reporter Sun Pengcheng) The reporter learned from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security on October 3 that on the third day of the National Day holiday, road traffic volume across the country continued to fall, but was still operating at a high level. Based on the characteristics of holiday travel, public security and traffic control departments at all levels have scientifically deployed services and arrangements, strengthened traffic control on key road sections around scenic spots, continued to strictly control and investigate traffic violations, and carried out extensive traffic safety publicity and reminders to ensure that people travel safely and smoothly during the holiday. As of 19:00, road traffic across the country was generally stable and orderly.

The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminds drivers and travelers to pay close attention to changes in weather conditions, reasonably arrange travel time and routes, and to "slow down, brighten the tail, and control distance" when driving in rainy and foggy weather to ensure safe driving. There are many gatherings during the holidays, so do not drink and drive. Everyone should fasten their seat belts while driving, and wear safety helmets when riding motorcycles and electric bicycles. When driving on the highway, do not speed or drive while fatigued. After a traffic accident or vehicle breakdown, immediately "pull over, evacuate people, or call the police." When driving through rural and mountainous roads, especially roads with sharp curves and steep slopes, and roads near water and cliffs, be sure to pay attention, reduce your speed, and drive carefully.
