Based on the traffic characteristics of the Lunar New Year Holiday in recent years, Freeway Bureau considered that returning hometown and tourism are major trip purposes. The freeway traffic volume is up to 1.6 times of average annual weekday traffic. Southbound traffic is concentrated on January 29th to 31th morning hours, and northbound traffic is concentrated on January31th to February 2nd afternoon hours. Therefore, Freeway Bureau recommends that people should take public transportation to replace driving for saving travel time. If people have to drive on the freeway, it’s recommended to departure as follow to avoid rush hours:
1. From January 29th to 31th, please departure southbound before 6:00 a.m. or after 12:00 noon.
2. From January31th to February 2nd, people living in the southern region please departure northbound before 9:00 a.m., and that living in the central region departure northbound before 12:00 noon.
To ease the massive traffic demand during the Lunar New Year Holiday, Freeway Bureau will implement entrance ramp closures, and northbound high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) exclusive use (see Figure.1). More detailed traffic control measures can be found on Freeway Bureau website(https://www.freeway.gov.tw/Upload/Html/2024823320/).Please make sure you have known relevant freeway traffic control measures for the Lunar New Year Holiday before you drive.
Freeway Bureau wishes everyone has a happy Lunar New Year Holiday.
