Gaode Maps releases New Year's Day travel forecast: The national highway network will experience peak travel traffic from 4 PM to 8 PM on December 31.

On the evening of December 30, Amap (Gaode Map) recently released its "2022 New Year's Day Travel Forecast Report," offering scientific recommendations for public travel during the upcoming holiday. The report indicates that traffic conditions on national highways are expected to remain relatively smooth throughout the short New Year's Day holiday. Most trips will likely be short-distance excursions around urban areas. Notably, the outbound and return peak periods on the highway will occur on the day before the holiday (December 31) and the third day of the holiday (January 3), respectively. Specifically, influenced by both the Friday evening rush hour and early holiday travel, nationwide highway traffic is forecasted to peak between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM on December 31, 2021, with the highest congestion expected from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Meanwhile, the return peak is anticipated between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM on January 3, 2022, peaking between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
Regarding specific highway sections, according to Gaode Map's traffic big data predictions, the highways expected to experience heavy congestion and slow-moving traffic during the outbound journey on December 31, 2021, are primarily the Suzhou section of the G15 Shenhai Expressway (Dongbang Hub - Changshu Port Interchange), which is forecasted to have a congestion delay index of 3.8 and an average speed of approximately 22 km/h; followed by the Chengdu Ring Expressway (Majiahe Bridge - Fuhé Bridge) and the Suzhou section of the G1522 Changtai Expressway (Dongbang South Hub - Dongbang Hub).
During the return journey phase of the New Year's Day holiday, on January 3, 2022, the highways most likely to experience heavy congestion and slow traffic included the Guangzhou section of the G0421 Xuguang Expressway (Chaoyang Toll Station to Guangqing Interchange), followed by the Huizhou and Shenzhen sections of the G25 Changshen Expressway (Xinwei Toll Station to Fudigang Toll Station), as well as the Taizhou section of the G2 Beijing-Shanghai Expressway (Jiangping Road Interchange to Jiangyin Bridge). Drivers traveling on these routes are advised to closely monitor road conditions and take timely measures to avoid congestion. This New Year's Day holiday saw urban-area travel becoming the mainstream choice, while skiing emerged as a popular leisure activity for many seeking relaxation. Additionally, the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics have undoubtedly fueled public enthusiasm for participating in ice and snow-related activities.
The top 10 most popular ski resorts for self-driving trips nationwide during the New Year's Day holiday are expected to include Beijing Nanshan Ski Resort, Jundu Mountain Ski Resort, Aba Jiuding Mountain & Taiziling Ski Resort, Zhengzhou Pathfinder Zhongyue Songding Ski Resort Resort, Beijing Huaibei International Ski Resort, Shennongjia International Ski Resort, Luoyang Funiu Mountain Ski Resort & Holiday Park, Jinan Wohushan Ski Resort, Zhangjiakou Wanlong Ski Resort, and Urumqi Silk Road International Ski Resort—among which Beijing, soon to host the Winter Olympics, claims three spots.
