Some highway entrances in Shandong are temporarily closed. Why are they doing this?
May Day is coming to an end. The number of people traveling during the May Day holiday increased sharply. It has also led to a sharp increase in the number of vehicles traveling. However, some highway entrances in Shandong are temporarily closed, which makes people feel a little surprised. I wonder why Shandong temporarily closed the entrances of highways during this time period when there are many people.
However, all regions in Shandong have issued notices. The notice stated that due to the need for epidemic prevention and control, as well as heavy foggy weather in some areas, the entrances and exits of highways in some cities in Shandong Province are temporarily closed. After reading this explanation, I suddenly understood the reason why the entrance and exit of the Shandong Expressway was temporarily closed.
Why are some highway entrances in Shandong temporarily closed?
We are currently in the May Day holiday. Due to the stabilization of the epidemic in our country, the number of people traveling on May Day has increased sharply. "More people, more cars" has become a standard feature of the May Day holiday. At this time, some areas in Shandong Province have issued notices and temporarily closed the entrances and exits of some highways. This decision seems a bit strange. However, if you carefully read Shandong’s notice on the temporary closure of some highway entrances and exits, you will understand why Shandong did this.
Why do this?
In the announcements of temporary closure of highway entrances and exits in many areas of Shandong, detailed explanations and explanations were given for the reasons for the temporary closure of highways. For example, the notice issued by Zibo explained that in order to ensure the health and life safety of the general public, combined with the severe situation faced by the current epidemic and highway operations, nine highway toll stations were temporarily closed. Other areas include Heze, Texas and other regions have also made corresponding announcements.
However, the Texas area is not only due to the epidemic, but also because the Dezhou City Meteorological Observatory issued an orange warning for heavy fog. Strong dense fog with low visibility will occur in some areas of the county and city. Therefore, it was also decided to temporarily close the entrance to the highway.
We cannot take the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus lightly
Although the epidemic situation in our country is currently stable, because the epidemic situation in many foreign countries is still very serious, we cannot stay away from the epidemic. Prevention and control cannot be taken lightly. As long as the epidemic exists, we should actively take protective measures to prevent the influx of external epidemics, let alone the recurrence of the epidemic due to gatherings. We must wear a mask when going out, try to keep a certain distance from others, wash hands and disinfect frequently, and maintain our hard-won gains. Due to epidemic considerations, we support the decision to temporarily close some expressway entrances in Shandong.
