Priority clearing for festival roads

LOCAL traffic departments have been urged to step up maintenance to ensure major roads are safe and clear in the face of snow and the upcoming Spring Festival travel rush.

Freezing rain and snow over the past few days have blocked some roads in the south, the traffic administration bureau under the Ministry of Public Security said yesterday.

Local offices in affected areas have been told to immediately activate emergency response plans and deploy all staff onto the expressways and major state and provincial highways to ensure they will be open.

Officials have been advised to pass on updated weather information to the public through radio, television, the Internet and mobile phone short messages, and inform drivers of road conditions at toll stations.

The festival falls on January 26 this year.
