Some narrow roads in Zhunan Town, Miaoli County are marked with double yellow lines, which often leads to severe traffic jams behind slow-speed vehicles or garbage trucks. People who overtake across the lines will be reported and fined. County councilor Zhang Jialing invited Zhunan Town Congress Chairman He Xiumian, county councilor Chen Bihua, and several town representatives and village leaders to conduct on-site inspections of Longshan Road, Minsheng Road and other road sections to discuss changing some double yellow lines to yellow dotted lines.
The local representatives reported that some sections of Longshan Road and Minsheng Road are limited in width. After the double yellow lines are drawn, once slow trains or garbage trucks are performing their duties, it is easy to cause congestion along the route. After consultation and consensus, the competent authority will conduct a section-by-section review. For sections where the sight distance, road width and traffic flow conditions meet the regulations, it will be considered to change to a yellow dotted line, and those that do not meet the requirements will remain under control. The local government also suggested that similar sections such as the Haikou area and the Longshan Road section should be included in the overall review.
