BEIJING police were using helicopters to monitor expressway traffic for the first time yesterday, the start of the eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday.
Traffic built up before dawn as holiday-makers rushed to hit the road to take advantage of the country's toll-free expressways trial. The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau said there were long queues of cars in front of the toll gates of all 17 expressways in Beijing by 6am.
Helicopters relayed video of traffic to ground command headquarters to help police direct traffic and check driving violations.
The police aviation fleet was set up in July last year.
