"I moved 3 meters in 3 hours, and only 2 kilometers in 22 hours." Recently, Xu Wen's traffic jam has become a hot topic among netizens.

As the Spring Festival approaches, many people choose to travel by car, and the warm Hainan has become one of the destinations. However, it is necessary to drive to the island from Xuwen Port and Hai 'an New Port in Xuwen, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, and take people and cars to Haikou via the cross-sea ferry.

On the afternoon of January 19th, the staff of Xuwen Port told the Red Star reporter that the foggy weather had affected the suspension of ferries some time ago, resulting in a backlog of transit vehicles, but at the same time, many self-driving vehicles poured in, which caused congestion.

"On the 18th, we started the measures of passenger and cargo separation, including that our port staff and 49 transport vessels are on duty 24 hours a day, making every effort to ensure the safe and convenient arrival of passengers." The staff said that there may be foggy weather in the next two days, reminding tourists to make reasonable arrangements for travel.

"At present, all cross-sea vehicles have entered two ports in an orderly manner. From the 15 th to the 18 th, the port delivered 27, vehicles per day and the number of passengers exceeded 1,. "

Xuwen traffic jam moves 3 meters in 3 hours? A tourist abandoned his car and took a boat.

"There was a traffic jam on the island, and it was a monkey year, a horse month?" At 15: 45 on January 17, Mr. Tang, who was stuck in the inbound boarding traffic, couldn't help but send a dynamic spit. More than two hours later, he arrived at the port a few hundred meters away and arrived at Haikou at 1 o'clock that night.

In the Spring Festival of the Year of the Rabbit, Mr. Tang plans to travel to Hainan with his family. On January 14th, their family of three set off from Chengdu and arrived in xuwen county via Guiyang-Nanning-Zhanjiang. During this period, they experienced the situation that the network could not grab tickets, the village road was closed at high speed, and there was a traffic jam when entering the port.

"It took me half an hour to grab tickets online. To Zhanjiang, because the foggy weather is closed at high speed, you can only take the path. " Mr. Tang recalled to the Red Star reporter that in order to get to the port early, some cars drove directly at the speed limit of 8 to 12, and sometimes even went retrograde. "A friend said that if there was a scalper, he could take the car near the road and charge 4 yuan. Fortunately, I have a wife who is watching the navigation command all the way. "

"At the last stop, I followed a bus because they are familiar with the road conditions." Mr. Tang said, but on the road into Hong Kong, he was still blocked. "At least it was blocked for 1 kilometers. For a long time, it was blocked by big trucks. I heard that the fog stopped for four or five days some time ago, which caused them to delay boarding. "

Red Star News reporter noticed that Mr. Tang's experience was not the worst. According to the report of Urban Express on the 17th, on January 14th, Mr. Chen and his family of four from Zhejiang went to Hainan for the New Year by car. After arriving at Hai 'an New Port in xuwen county on the 17th, they were caught in a "century traffic jam". "I came in at about 2 pm, and only moved 3 meters forward at 5 o'clock and 3 hours. The master who was in front of me came here at 3 pm yesterday and waited in line. He only walked 2 kilometers in 22 hours. " Mr. Chen said.

Mr. Cai, from Shenzhen, decided to abandon the car and board the ship after finding that both ports were stuck in heavy traffic jams. "The plane ticket to Haikou was too expensive, so we decided to drive there. Xu Wen arrived at 4 pm on the 17th, found the traffic jam and stopped at a local friend's house, and then took the motorcycle." Mr. Cai said.

at 2:54 on 17th, Mr Cai successfully boarded the ferry to Haikou. However, a friend of his who insisted on driving started at 6 am on the 17th and didn't arrive in Haikou until 11 pm the next day. "It stands to reason that you can arrive at 1 o'clock that night at the latest, but it was blocked on the way into Hong Kong."

Mr. Cai said that in fact, the road in and out of the port is two-way and eight lanes, but there is still congestion. "No one will direct the traffic."

official: due to the heavy fog, the backlog is being fully relieved.

On the evening of January 19th, a staff member of Xuwen Port told the Red Star reporter that the reason for the congestion was that the ferry was suspended due to the heavy fog in Qiongzhou Strait some time ago. "The cars in front were waiting in line to enter the port, while the passengers from go on road trip kept pouring in behind."

according to the reporter's inquiry, as early as January 13th, Haikou Municipal Bureau of Transportation and Port and Shipping issued a notice: due to the heavy fog, Xinhai Port, Nangang Railway Port and xiuying port have stopped their operations, so vehicles crossing the sea should not go to the ports. At that time, there were about 9 vehicles waiting for crossing in Haikou Port 3, and it is estimated that it will take 6 hours to evacuate after the resumption of navigation. In the next two days, the local foggy weather continued, causing the passenger ro-ro ship in Qiongzhou Strait to stop intermittently for about 22 hours, and a large number of passengers waiting for crossing the sea were stranded in Xuwen Port.

According to media reports, it was not until January 16th that the vehicles stranded on the north bank of Qiongzhou Strait were orderly evacuated and boarded the ships one after another. However, there were too many vehicles in the early stage, so the traffic on the relevant sections was congested.

The xuwen county Emergency Bureau announced on the 17th that in view of the increasing number of vehicles crossing the sea, xuwen county quickly took emergency measures to divert vehicles. The car passes through Xuwen Port; Trucks pass through Hai 'an New Port and Guangdong-Hainan Railway North Port; The shuttle bus passes through Xuwen Port, Hai 'an New Port and Guangdong-Hainan Railway North Port. The implementation time is from 8: am on January 18, 223. "At the same time, we also launched an emergency plan, including port staff and 49 transport ships all on duty 24 hours a day." The aforementioned Xuwen port staff said that a large ship can transport 2 passenger cars at a time, and the capacity can fully meet the demand.

As for the situation that tickets can't be purchased online, the staff member said that there were too many vehicles entering Hong Kong, which caused congestion. "So we stopped online ticket purchase, because we couldn't guarantee to arrive at the port in time when we arrived. We arranged a special person at the port to guide the driver to buy tickets or buy tickets by self-service machine to ensure that we could board the ship when we arrived."

"Big trucks are relatively easy to manage, but individual bus drivers cut in line to get into Hong Kong early, which will lead to traffic chaos and get emotional when they stop." The staff member said that he hoped that drivers would obey the traffic rules and queue up to enter Hong Kong.

Xu Wen's traffic police diverted traffic. According to Zhanjiang Daily

"All our traffic police officers showed up at the scene, and the organization department also dispatched party member cadres to support them." Referring to the traffic jam at Xuwen Port, an official replied that after the measures of setting up Xuwen Port to load small cars and Hai 'an New Port to load trucks, all cross-sea vehicles have moved into these two ports in an orderly manner. "From January 15 to 18, the two ports delivered 27, vehicles per day, with more than 1, passengers."

Regarding the problem that netizens reported that scalpers were leading the way at high prices, the official said that this phenomenon could not be ruled out during traffic jams. "Our county public security bureau has cracked down with an iron fist and arrested a number of scalpers. Transit vehicle personnel can call to report at any time. "

According to a report by Zhanjiang Rongmedia on the 16th, the Qiongzhou Strait was suspended intermittently from January 13th to 15th due to the foggy weather. In order to do a good job in the diversion of stranded vehicles and passengers, Xuwen County Party Committee and government quickly launched emergency plans, and organized county emergency management bureau, county transportation bureau, Tuanxuwen County Party Committee, county public security bureau and other departments as well as township streets to pay close attention to the diversion of vehicles and care for passengers, so as to ensure the smooth and safe cross-sea passage.

The report also said that the Xuwen County Committee organized more than 3 volunteers to run around Xuwen Port, Hai 'an New Port, Hainan Railway North Port and other important sections of the port, and delivered bread, mineral water and other caring materials to the stranded passengers free of charge, and at the same time assisted the traffic police department to guide the stranded passengers to queue up in an orderly manner according to the guidelines.
