Shanghai Toll Expressway line over one kilometer free pass the People's Daily Shanghai February 22 (reporter Bao) expressway toll mouth line over kilometer, will be free to release-this new initiative from the "Shanghai Toll Expressway Operation Management Regulations (trial)" (Shanghai diplomatic Relations [2010]1111 number),　　The regulation was promulgated by the Shanghai Municipal urban-rural Construction and Transportation Committee, which was implemented January 1 this year. "The regulation" said: "As a public product of the toll highway, regardless of its management body is government agencies or operators, should improve the efficiency of highway, to provide road users with good and safe service to meet the public demand for road management. "In particular, since 2003, the Shanghai Highway Office also with the operation of the management to establish a toll crossing security plan, when the toll crossings serious congestion, take" free release "measures. As a kind of industry self-discipline, this measure has achieved certain effect.

However, the regulations also mentioned that Shanghai is small, the traffic volume is too large, the toll crossing congestion for the frequent and not accidental situation, the highway into the city section of the general existence of fewer lanes, interchange ramp and so on. When urban roads are congested, the "free release" measures will result in greater traffic pressure on the urban areas and the city roads, which is likely to cause traffic paralysis in some urban areas. Therefore, in the actual operation may appear the toll crossing line length exceeds 1000 meters, but the road ahead is already congested, the Public Security Traffic Management department has to suspend the implementation of this measure, in order to avoid aggravating the front congestion. Therefore, the regulation requires managers to take "free release" measures without prejudice to the smooth road ahead, and when the Traffic Management Department adopts the management measures, the managers should cooperate to ensure the orderly traffic toll crossings.
