(1) Areas where traffic is concentrated and easy to block.
Spring Festival travel rush has a long time span, and the travel is relatively scattered, so the centralized congestion phenomenon will appear in the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, the passenger car traffic increased greatly, the truck traffic decreased rapidly, and the traffic volume in the normalized congestion area and the returning section of the expressway increased significantly. Henan is a major labor export province in China, with a large traffic flow during the Spring Festival, and some cities are prone to traffic jams around the expressway.
