As of 6 PM, except for some areas affected by low temperatures and snow, resulting in temporary slow traffic on certain sections and around commercial areas, overall road traffic across the country was stable and orderly, with no major traffic accidents reported.
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, from 8 PM on the 16th to 8 PM on the 17th, light to moderate snow or sleet is expected in northeastern Inner Mongolia, southern Heilongjiang, northern Jilin, western Gansu, northern Qinghai, and the Ili River Valley in Xinjiang. Heavy to blizzard conditions are possible in parts of western Gansu and the Ili River Valley. Additionally, fog is expected in parts of southwestern Zhejiang, southern Anhui, northwestern Fujian, northwestern Jiangxi, southeastern Hubei, central Henan, and central Shaanxi, which will adversely affect safe travel.
As the Lunar New Year approaches, people are traveling more to visit relatives and friends, increasing the risk of drunk driving. Road networks in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas will experience concentrated traffic flow. The Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security reminds all drivers to always prioritize safety while driving, remembering the importance of not drinking and driving. Those dining with others should remind each other and discourage drunk driving. Drivers must concentrate and avoid distractions, especially when driver assistance features are activated; drivers must keep their hands and eyes on the road at all times to ensure the vehicle remains under control.
