The cost of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is 65.438+0269 billion, which took 8 years to build. Why is it difficult for mainland drivers to get on the bridge?

Over the years, with the continuous rise and development of China's infrastructure, more and more landmark buildings have been completed, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which was just completed and opened to traffic in 20 18, and the cost of this bridge has reached126.9 billion. Construction started in 2009 and took eight years to complete. It is a very great project and has been praised by foreign experts many times. However, with the increasing attention to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, some friends found that after the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it seemed that there were no cars on the bridge. Some netizens also said that it was difficult for drivers in Chinese mainland to get on the bridge. Why?

We all know that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is a bridge connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. Its completion greatly shortens the travel time between the three places, and at the same time, it can greatly promote economic development. However, since Hong Kong and Macao belong to the Special Administrative Region, the system there is slightly different from that in the Mainland, so mainland drivers can't just pay a bridge toll like taking a bridge in the Mainland. If they want to get on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, they must go through the relevant formalities in Hong Kong and Macao. The procedure is complicated and requires the driver to spend a lot of time and do it well in advance. For example, mainland drivers must have both mainland license plates and Hong Kong and Macao license plates in order to pass through the three places. This requirement stumped many mainland drivers. After all, Hong Kong and Macao license plates are hard to get, and mainlanders are not very familiar with all aspects of Hong Kong and Macao's systems. It is basically difficult to get Hong Kong and Macao license plates.

Secondly, drivers must have a mainland driver's license and a Hong Kong and Macao driver's license to pass, which is also a very troublesome thing, because it means that you have to go to Hong Kong to get a driver's license. For mainlanders, we just want to experience the feeling of getting on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, but it is too much trouble to get a driver's license in Hong Kong, which is a time-consuming and expensive thing, so many mainland drivers can't get on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is also the reason for the low traffic volume of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

At present, the main vehicles on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge are cross-border buses, cross-border taxis and a small number of private cars, and the toll of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is not cheap. Private car toll 150 yuan, I believe many people can't accept it. After all, the inland bridge toll is only a dozen dollars.

Finally, the headmaster believes that many mainland drivers can't get on the bridge because of the above reasons, such as Hong Kong and Macao license plates, Hong Kong and Macao driver's licenses and bridge crossing fees. However, although the procedure is complicated, it is also a good choice for us to give up go on road trip and take the bus instead. We only need to pay the fare, which saves time, effort and worry. In addition, driving on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is also very interesting, because the drivers' seats in Hong Kong and Macau are on the right, so their driving habits are just the opposite of ours. If you drive to Hong Kong, you have to adapt to the driving style on the right, and the road signs and routes will change. Perhaps this is why mainland drivers have to take the Hong Kong and Macao driver's license. After all, it is for safety reasons.
