& shy; It is usually drizzling during the Qingming Festival. However, yesterday, Rongcheng suddenly rained heavily in a short period of time, and some citizens’ travel plans were disrupted, and some buses were also affected.
& shy; Yesterday, the high-rise building in the north of May 4th was shrouded by heavy fog.
& shy; At 11:35 A.M. yesterday, the reporter encountered a rare rainstorm in the Orange Bay Bridge section of West Third Ring Road. Even if the wiper was adjusted to the fastest speed, it could not completely remove the rain on the windshield of the car, the line of sight is greatly disturbed. In addition, some sections also have deep water accumulation, and vehicles can feel great resistance when passing through. Affected by this, many vehicles opened emergency flasher one after another to remind the rear vehicles to keep safe space between car heads, while simultaneously slowing down the speed. Some electric car riders who break into the third ring road illegally hide from the rain under the pedestrian overpass and interchange, which has great potential safety hazards. The heavy rain lasted for about 10 minutes, and the reporter drove away from the Third Ring Road. At this time, the rain gradually weakened.
& shy; The reporter found that the rainstorm had a great impact on urban traffic. On the section of the sports center of the May 4th Road province, left turning vehicles crowded into a group, and the decrease of traffic efficiency caused by heavy rain aggravated the congestion. This situation also appeared at the intersection of the Second Ring Road and Wah Lam Rd, many vehicles transporting relatives and friends are blocked on the road. “I was so anxious that the bus was about to open and the ticket had not been picked up. It was really unfortunate that the rain came.” Mr. Yang, a citizen, said that he had set aside enough time to take his family to the North Bus Station. He did not expect to be disturbed by the heavy rain. Fortunately, he did not miss the bus. In the North Railway Station, the reporter saw that some buses were affected by heavy rain and there were short-term delays. For example, the bus heading for Pucheng in north Fujian at 12:20 does not start checking tickets until the scheduled departure time. “Heavy rain not only affects passengers, but also some buses are blocked on the road, so there will be some delays, but the overall impact is not big.” A staff member of the station said.
