China's Ministry of Public Security Issues Early Warning for Road Traffic Safety Risks During Qingming Festival

(MENAFN) China's Ministry of Public Security has issued an early warning for road traffic safety risks during the upcoming Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, which falls on April 5 this year. The ministry has identified five main factors that could contribute to road traffic safety risks during the holiday period, including the concentrated road traffic flow around tomb areas, driving under the influence of alcohol, an increase in highway traffic accidents, overlapped multiple traffic flows in rural areas, and the possibility of rain or snow.

In order to mitigate these risks, the ministry has suggested that people planning to travel by car during the holiday should pay close attention to local weather and road conditions in advance, and plan their travel times and routes reasonably to avoid peak travel. This will help to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure that people can reach their destinations safely.

The Qingming Festival is an important traditional holiday in China, during which people pay their respects to their ancestors by visiting their graves and cleaning them. As a result, there is often a significant increase in road traffic around tomb areas during the holiday period, which can lead to congestion and other traffic-related issues.

The Ministry of Public Security's early warning for road traffic safety risks during the Qingming Festival highlights the importance of taking precautions and being aware of potential hazards when traveling during the holiday period. By following the ministry's advice and taking steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of others, people can enjoy a peaceful and meaningful holiday while also avoiding accidents and other traffic-related issues.
