According to forecasts from relevant departments that were posted on the Ministry of Public Security website, passenger volume on highways in China will reach 2.08 billion during the Spring Festival travel season- an increase of 3% year-on-year.
In 2009, China's road travel volume, highway mileage and the number of motor vehicles and drivers will further increase. As a result, pressure on road traffic accident prevention will be further heightened.
New Year's Day and Spring Festival this year are close to each other so the effects will be especially noticeable; the flow of students going home, migrant rural workers and people who returning home for family reunions will overlap, causing passenger flow peaks to appear earlier than in previous years.
