Text by MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team, compiled and reported

With the arrival of Qingming Festival, it is expected that major cemeteries across Taiwan will see large crowds and heavy traffic. To ensure smooth road traffic around these areas, the government will implement traffic controls at scenic spots and congested sections of national freeways based on past traffic data. It is advised that citizens try to avoid congested roads and areas, and make use of real-time traffic information released by police radio stations and variable message signs to stay updated on road conditions and save precious time.

Travelers can refer to the “2017 Qingming Holiday Congested Road Sections and Time Periods for Cemeteries, Urban Roads, and Major Scenic Areas” provided by the New Taipei City Transportation Bureau when planning their trips to avoid these areas. Coupled with radio broadcasts and road condition updates, this will help monitor real-time traffic conditions around urban roads, cemeteries, and major scenic spots, allowing you to save valuable travel time.
