How long does the long-distance highway traffic jam usually last?

If there is a traffic accident or construction ahead, there may be traffic jams for an hour or two. If you encounter natural disasters or major accidents, or bad weather, you may be stuck in traffic for several days or even ten days.

1. Why is there a traffic jam in expressway?

1. Occupy the emergency lane: In recent years, the media reported that many emergency vehicles in expressway were occupied, resulting in traffic jams in expressway.

2. Bad weather: When there is fog, snow and ice in expressway, it is easy to cause accidents and pose a great threat to traffic safety. Therefore, expressway will be closed at this time, resulting in the detention of vehicles.

Second, what will lead to traffic accidents in expressway?

1, the truck is seriously overloaded.

Serious overloading of trucks will directly affect the performance of vehicles. Due to the long-term overload of vehicles, the safety performance such as steering and braking of vehicles will decline rapidly, which will bring great hidden dangers to traffic safety. Once a collision occurs, great inertia will also cause serious destructive consequences.

2. Use a mobile phone while driving

While bringing great convenience, mobile phones have quietly become "invisible killers" on the road. When driving, using a hand-held phone, sending and receiving text messages, swiping Weibo, WeChat or even playing mobile games will affect the driver's visual perception and attention.

3, speeding

As the saying goes, "Ten car accidents are nine times faster". A large number of traffic accidents statistics show that more than 50% of traffic accidents are related to speeding factors.

Step 4 change lanes at will

When driving a vehicle to change lanes in expressway, you don't turn on the turn signal in advance, don't observe the rearview mirror, change lanes directly without leaving a safe distance, and continue to change lanes to overtake in an S-shape, which will affect the normal traffic of other vehicles and be prone to accidents.
