The peak hours of traffic jams in Taiyuan mainly appear from 7: 00 am to 8: 00 am and from 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm/kloc-0. So these two periods are the most serious in Taiyuan. It should be noted that the specific time may change slightly due to different road conditions and traffic volume.
Among them, the traffic jam section of Jiuyuan Shahe in the morning peak ranks first, and the cars entering Binhe West Road here are mainly from west to east. It is suggested that vehicles in the direction of West Garden and Xishan enter Binhe West Road from Xinjinci Road and Changfeng Street at 7: 40-8: 30 in the morning. Secondly, Wuyi Road in fu tung street is also a heavily congested road. There are many schools here, and the congestion time is mainly concentrated at school and after school.
Causes of urban congestion
1, car usage increased.
The increase of automobile utilization rate is the main reason of urban traffic congestion. Due to the convenience of cars, the traffic flow in urban areas is increasing day by day. During the rush hour, traffic from work, travel and shopping flows into the city center from all directions. One of the disadvantages of cars is that they waste a lot of space, but the number is increasing, which makes the existing roads unable to bear such a large traffic congestion.
2. Insufficient road capacity or improper design.
Insufficient road capacity is also a factor causing traffic jams. Nowadays, many historic cities, such as London and Rome, are notorious for their traffic. The reason is that the road capacity is insufficient, because most of the roads in their urban areas used to be used by carriages, but the number of cars is increasing, and the speed of road expansion can't keep up with the increase of car traffic several times, making the roads in the city center crowded.
