Congestion-prone service area and heavy traffic flow
toll-gate
(1) Congestion-prone service areas
1. Qingdao-Lanzhou Expressway (G22) connects with the service area of Jiazui and Dingxi.
Congestion: The connection of Qinglan Expressway (G22) and Lianhuo Expressway (G30) meets, and the bearing capacity of the service area is limited. A large number of vehicles enter the service area, which leads to the ranking of vehicles at the entrance of the service area, which is easy to cause congestion.
Travel tips: vehicles coming from Tianshui can refuel and rest in Gangu and Yuanyang service areas; Vehicles coming from Pingliang can refuel and rest in Jingning and Huining service areas.
2. Lianhuo Expressway (G30) Zhangye, Gaotai and Jiuquan service areas.
Congestion: The carrying capacity of the three service areas of Lianhuo Expressway (G30) is limited, and a large number of vehicles enter the service area, which leads to the ranking of vehicles at the entrance of the service area, which is easy to cause congestion.

Road traffic safety tips
(1) The traffic flow will increase sharply during Spring Festival travel rush. Before traveling, we should pay attention to the traffic conditions and weather forecast information released by relevant departments in advance, understand the free passage time, plan the travel time and route reasonably, and stagger the peak hours.
(2) Before going out, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle, including the safety technical performance of the vehicle’s steering, braking, tires, lighting, etc., avoid driving a "sick car" on the road, and check the storage of the fuel tank. New energy vehicles should check whether the storage capacity is sufficient. Danger warning signs, jacks, screw sleeves and other tools should be carried in the car in case of urgent need.
(3) In case of bad weather such as snow, ice, rain and fog, it is necessary to reduce driving trips and try to avoid fog and dark ice in the morning and midnight. Driving on ice and snow roads must be "four slow and four slow". First, start slowly, slowly lift the clutch and lightly step on the accelerator, and start slowly; Second, turn slowly, hit the direction slowly and turn slowly; Third, slow braking, slow braking and slow parking; Fourth, the mentality is slow. In case of complicated road conditions, the mentality should be kept calm, drive slowly and do not exceed the speed limit.
(4) When traveling by car, please arrange the rest time reasonably, ensure adequate sleep, try not to drive at night, and do not drive fatigue. When driving at night, please use the lights correctly.
(5) When traveling by car, observe traffic signals and pay attention to civility and courtesy. In case of traffic jam ahead, turn on the danger warning flash, queue up and pass in turn, obey the command, don’t change lanes at will, don’t answer the phone, don’t check or send SMS or WeChat.
(six) standardize the use of seat belts, choose child safety seats suitable for children’s age, height and weight, let children sit in the back row and fasten their seat belts. Never hold children in your arms or let them sit in the co-pilot position.
(7) If you choose road passenger transport for holiday travel, please choose regular stations and companies to take passenger vehicles that are operated safely and legally, and do not take overcrowded vehicles, illegally operated vehicles, "sick vehicles", unlicensed vehicles and vehicles that have other illegal acts.
(8) Visit relatives and friends and have frequent parties during festivals. When gathering with relatives and friends, please remember: don’t drive after drinking, and don’t drink while driving! If you find drunk driving behavior, please discourage it in time and help to adopt other safe modes of transportation.
(9) Please drive carefully on mountain roads, and don’t force overtaking or passing. When a vehicle passes through a sharp bend, the top of a ramp, etc., which affects the safe sight distance, it should slow down and honk its horn, and at night, it should change the far and near lights to give a prompt.
(10) Keep in mind that "in case of an accident, the car pulls over, people evacuate, and double flashing, that is, call the police". If there is a minor traffic accident that does not cause casualties, under the principle of ensuring safety, the parties concerned can take photos and collect evidence and record relevant information at the scene of the accident, and quickly evacuate the scene, and then they can go to the traffic accident rapid processing center of the local traffic control department to make insurance claims. In case of casualties, call the police immediately, turn on the danger warning flash immediately, and set up a triangle warning sign at the direction behind the car, so that the people inside the car can quickly move to a safe place to wait to ensure their own safety.
