The city faces traffic bottlenecks in Chongqing's main city turntable playing face change

Yesterday, the reporter was informed that a "Circular Intersection Adjustment Plan for Chongqing's Main Urban Area" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") prepared by the Municipal Urban Transport Planning Institute has passed the administrative review organized by the Municipal Planning Bureau. According to the plan, the turntable that was not built will not be built, and the existing turntable will also be adjusted.

With the development of the city, the flow of traffic has increased, and many cities have encountered blockages in the turntable, and the turntable may have become history.

According to incomplete statistics, the main city of Chongqing now has about 50 turntables, which are mainly distributed within the inner ring area between the two mountains. Some old dials, such as the Shangqing Temple Wheel and the Hongqi River Gully Wheel, have become landmarks in Chongqing.

With the development of the city, many domestic cities have encountered a turntable block. Once the traffic volume is saturated, the turntable becomes the bottleneck on the road.

“Chongqing has developed rapidly and the number of vehicles has increased, and the length of the intertwined turntables is too short, which is likely to cause congestion.” The head of construction of the Yusong Road Interchange of the North Ring Road and Vice President Yu Bin of Chongqing Xinke Construction Co., Ltd. said that taking Yusong Road intersection as an example In the past, it was a turntable. Every morning and evening, the peaks were congested. After the demolition, they were changed to overpasses. This is to improve the road capacity.

It is understood that in the "planning", the focus is on the circular intersections that have not been built in the roads of the nine urban areas within the scope of the main city, and will be removed from the planning level.

The Planning also mainly adjusts canalization of roundabouts from three aspects: first, widening the intersection entrances; secondly, setting reasonable turning radius; third, optimizing the position of bus stops and adjusting bus stops to intersections. Exit road.

This plan has not yet been formally approved. However, it can be seen from this that in the future, the main city may no longer have a new turntable, and some of the existing turntables may gradually disappear.
