During the Spring Festival of 2020, the spread of the new coronavirus disrupted everyone’s pace. In order to reduce everyone's risk of contracting the virus, various places have introduced transportation measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and have also made appropriate adjustments to policies such as purchase restrictions and travel restrictions. If you need to drive a long distance in the near future, or have a lottery need, be sure to take a look at the following summary of transportation/automobile policy changes.

Extension of toll-free hours on expressways, closure of entrances and exits, etc.

Expressways are traffic arteries connecting major cities, and control here is conducive to preventing the spread of the epidemic. Currently, many highway entrances and exits across the country have been closed. If you need to use the highway, you need to understand the relevant government announcements before going out. Of course, you can also update the navigation APP, which should also have relevant information.

In addition to closing some highway entrances and exits, many provincial border checkpoints and highway entrances and exits have set up "body temperature detection points", so you need to be prepared for traffic jams when getting on the highway. In addition, before driving into the inspection area, it is best to turn off the air conditioning and heating and open the windows to speed up air circulation to avoid detection errors caused by excessive body temperature.

It is worth mentioning that recently, some people suffered from temporary fever caused by eating betel nut, which was mistakenly thought to be a fever. If you don't want to experience such a thrilling experience, it's best not to eat betel nut before the test.

Although everyone now wants to stay at home as much as possible to reduce the risk of infection, life must go on and classes must continue, so returning after the holiday is essential. However, in order to do a solid job in staggering return journeys and epidemic prevention and control, the state decided to extend the free time of toll roads. It is reported that the deadline for exempting small passenger vehicles from tolls on toll roads during the 2020 Spring Festival holiday has been extended to 24:00 on February 8, 2020.

The implementation or delay of travel restriction policies in various places

Due to the concentrated outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, many cities in Hubei Province, including Wuhan, Huanggang, Yichang, and Jingzhou, have adopted As for the ban on motor vehicles, other provinces and cities have gradually begun to implement odd and even traffic restrictions, but at the same time, many cities have decided to postpone the implementation of the policy.

It is reported that Chongqing will implement odd-even traffic restrictions from February 3rd (odd-number traffic on single days, even-number traffic on even days); Nanyang City, Henan Province will implement traffic restrictions all day at 12 noon on February 1 Travel restrictions on odd and even numbers (including weekends) will be implemented; Guiyang City, Guizhou Province will resume travel restrictions on last numbers from February 3.

In terms of postponement of traffic restrictions, Beijing has decided to postpone the resumption of traffic restrictions for last-numbered vehicles by one week. The specific resumption time is February 10 (including Luoyang and Chengdu); Jiaozuo and Kaifeng have suspended the implementation of traffic restrictions until February 29 On the same day, the resumption of traffic restrictions in Tianjin, Xiongan New Area, Xuchang and Lanzhou will be notified separately; while Shijiazhuang City, Xingtai City, Qinhuangdao City, Baoding City and Handan City in Hebei Province have decided to suspend traffic restrictions with last number.

It is worth mentioning that in order to reduce the possibility of cross-infection by people taking public transportation such as buses and subways, Guangzhou has decided to continue to suspend the implementation of the "open four, stop four" measures. Extended to February 9th.

Obviously, the delayed resumption of travel restrictions is due to the impact of the epidemic. However, even if there are currently no travel restrictions in cities such as Beijing and Tianjin, we should not go out casually, because we are still in the During the high-risk period for viral infection, reducing going out is the best measure to reduce the risk of infection.

Affected by the epidemic, the car lottery has also been postponed

In order to reduce the number of people going out, some cities have decided to postpone the use of some passenger car quotas. Among them, the expiration date of Beijing’s passenger car quota is in 2020 Vehicle purchase tax and vehicle registration procedures for vehicles between January 24 and February 29 can be processed before March 10 (inclusive), while Hangzhou will expire between January 31 and February 29. The incremental indicators, updated indicators and other indicators of small passenger cars will be valid for 30 days.

However, when it comes to increasing the validity period, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are more powerful. It is reported that Guangzhou has extended the validity period of the small and medium-sized passenger car quota and the application period for other quotas from January 24 to May 31 to June 1. Like Guangzhou, Shenzhen has also extended the validity period of the car quota to June 1, but the deadline for the car quota is from January 31 to May 31.

In terms of incremental indicator bidding, Guangzhou City decided to postpone the January incremental indicator bidding activity for small and medium-sized passenger cars to February 3. Shenzhen has postponed the first phase of the 2020 car lottery bidding to February, and incorporated the 6,668 indicators in January into the allocation quota in February.

As for Shanghai, Car Buyer learned that the application period for its license plate quota to participate in the auction is from February 3 to February 7, and only one outlet at the Guopai Company Headquarters at No. 108 Fuzhou Road is open, and the remaining outlets will have to start from February 2 It will only be open from the 10th of March.

Traffic control services can be handled online

In fact, in addition to passenger car quotas that can be deferred, public security traffic control services such as driver examinations can be handled "online, self-service, or deferred."

First of all, time-limited services such as driver’s test, full score education, and verification education can be postponed.

If you have applied for an appointment online, you can cancel the appointment, and the cancellation will not be counted in the number of exams, nor will it affect the order of the next exam appointment.

Secondly, driver’s license verification and renewal, motor vehicle inspection and other services can be postponed until after the epidemic is over. If during the epidemic prevention and control period, the driver's license or motor vehicle may be canceled due to untimely license renewal, physical examination, and inspection, the public security and traffic control department will uniformly extend the cancellation period to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests.

The last step is to extend the validity period of the pre-selected number. If you pre-selected your license plate number on the Internet during the epidemic prevention and control period but did not register your motor vehicle in time, you can continue to register after the epidemic is over.

Viruses are ruthless. During the period of epidemic prevention and control, the country has timely adjusted transportation/automobile policies. The purpose is to protect everyone's health and provide convenience for handling business. The starting point is good. I hope that everyone will give you the greatest cooperation during this period. I believe that we will soon defeat this epidemic and return to normal life.
