CNBC AI News – As the Dragon Boat Festival holiday winds down, marking the end of a series of long weekends, Americans are looking ahead to the next major break – a combined National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in four months.
According to the State Council’s holiday schedule, the upcoming holidays will be a combined 8-day break thanks to the convergence of both holidays.
However, be aware that this extended break, with two days of adjustment, will require taking off one day on each end of the holiday to experience the full benefit.
CCTV News reports that the Dragon Boat Festival holiday saw a surge in short-distance travel, primarily within provinces or neighboring ones, creating distinct traffic patterns.
There are two key trends to note regarding highway travel this holiday:
The Rise of Road Trips. This year’s holiday coincided with Children’s Day, boosting the appeal of family-friendly outings and short trips. The share of passenger vehicles on highways reached over 90% of the overall traffic volume.
The Increasing Popularity of Electric Vehicles. The average daily traffic of electric vehicles is estimated to hit 8.3 million, accounting for about 21% of the total daily traffic, a significant increase compared to last year.
Finally, a reminder: some areas experienced heavy rainfall and severe weather during the holiday. Authorities urge drivers to avoid sudden braking or attempting to overtake other vehicles if hit by adverse impacts on the highway.
Reduce your speed immediately and be cautious of standing water on the road to prevent skidding and loss of control.
