Now the first and second ring roads in Hefei are becoming more and more blocked, and Hefei citizens are increasingly eager to build the third ring road. Living in a city, convenient transportation is the key. With the rapid development of the city, the existing traffic framework of the first and second ring roads in Hefei seems to be difficult to meet the increasing number of motor vehicles. At rush hour, the traffic on the first and second ring roads will queue up. "Is it necessary to build the Third Ring Road in Hefei?" This topic has become the focus of attention of many people.

At rush hour, the first and second ring roads are blocked.

"Every time I pass the South Second Ring Road, big trucks and muck trucks whiz past me, and I am afraid ..." The South Second Ring Road is the only way for Miss Chen to commute, and it is a headache for Miss Chen to squeeze the driveway with these carts. If "without these trolleys, I would have to pass at least twice as fast".

When the reporter of Hefei Political and Economic Observation visited, he found that there are too many large trucks in the North-South East-West Second Ring Road, which leads to low traffic efficiency. At present, Hefei Second Ring Road does not allow large trucks to enter, which has actually become a gathering area for large trucks. There are many logistics companies and truck parking lots along the Second Ring Road, and a large number of truck trips are an important reason for the congestion in the Second Ring Road. Therefore, it is an effective means to move the logistics company to the periphery of the city and shield the large trucks outside the Second Ring Road.

The current congestion of the First Ring Road has become an indisputable fact. To effectively solve the congestion problem in the first and second ring roads, we not only need to rely on government intervention, strengthen urban layout planning, and make overall consideration to determine specific and feasible freight routes and supporting logistics bases to realize passenger and cargo diversion. Change the traditional focus on the logistics industry, rather than short-term "piecemeal" measures. For example, Hefei's planned "Zhou Gu Dui moved to Daxing" is a masterpiece to realize the diversion of passengers and goods.

Geographical factors restrict the construction of the Third Ring Road.

Is it necessary to build the Third Ring Road in Hefei? Is Hefei suitable for building the Third Ring Road? Zhang Xin, Ph.D., Institute of Tourism Planning, Polytechnic University, is cautious about this.

The geographical situation of Hefei is quite special. Dafangying Reservoir, Dongpu Reservoir and Dashushan in the northwest restrict the construction of the ring road. Judging from the existing roads in Hefei, Zhang Xin believes that the smooth completion of the expressway around the city will be of great help to alleviate urban road congestion. "The Ring Expressway actually plays the role of the Third Ring Road".

Therefore, judging from the current city scale and actual situation, Zhang Xin feels that it is not necessary to build the Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road in the short term. "However, government departments should have a sense of advanced planning, cooperate with the development strategy of Hefei Economic Circle, and do a good job in the top-level design and long-term planning of urban roads."

The surrounding provincial capital cities are more than four rings and five rings.

Zhang, deputy secretary-general of Hefei Urban Planning Industry Association, believes that with the rapid expansion of the city scale, although the Second Ring Road has been expanded to 8- 10 lanes, it is now saturated, and the daily traffic volume has exceeded one million vehicles, and it is still increasing. The public said that heavy vehicles over-rolled the road surface, coupled with heavy vehicles crossing the urban area, not only increased safety hazards, but also reduced traffic efficiency.

Zhang said that among the capital cities of six provinces and one city in East China, Changsha has four rings, Nanjing has five rings and Hefei has only two rings. The traditional idea is to spread the pie around aimlessly, which will form a "single center" urban structure. Now this concept has been changed. For example, Hefei's "14 1 group" structure is to build an overall spatial framework of a main urban area, four peripheral urban agglomerations and a new lakeside area within the scope of Hefei's urban dense areas. "Polycentric" mode, that is, all groups are connected by water or green belts, and communicate through highways to develop independently. At present, Hefei is not characterized by "ring" in planning, so as to avoid intractable traffic diseases like Beijing. For Hefei, it is necessary to build a regional mega-city and overcome the stubborn disease of traffic diseases. Only at the source of urban planning, through long-term overall planning, can we create a beautiful traffic environment.

Some experts put forward a three-ring road map.

Solving the current congestion of the first and second ring roads is the main reason why many people think it is necessary to build the third ring road. Due to the increasing traffic volume, the traffic pressure on the existing First Ring Road and Second Ring Road is also increasing, especially during rush hours. Looking at the current traffic situation in Hefei, the first ring road and the second ring road only define the central part of Hefei. Radial viaducts and expressways outside the second ring road are under construction, and there is no main road between expressways for continuous series connection.

At the meeting of directors held by the Standing Committee of Hefei Municipal People's Congress not long ago, some representatives suggested that the Third Ring Road should be built as soon as possible. Ge Bin, director of Hefei Key Project Management Bureau, believes that Hefei should open the Third Ring Road. He said that such a proposal is based on the consideration of Hefei's future population expansion.

In addition, the relevant person in charge of Hefei Planning Bureau said that Hefei is vigorously promoting the development of "14 1 group", and has built a number of roads around the group to achieve interoperability. Although these roads are not explicitly called three-ring roads or four-ring roads at present, "many road networks actually play the role of circular roads". To solve the problem of urban road congestion and the connection of group units, the planning department has begun to study the expressway network in Hefei and will comprehensively consider the suggestions of the citizens.

"Hefei will develop into a population of 8 million to100000 in the future. It is not enough to rely on one or two rings, but also to open three rings, that is, the outer ring road. " In addition, Ge Bin also described the basic road map of Hefei Third Ring Road. South to Fangxing Avenue, east to Longxing Avenue, west to National Highway 206, and north to Wei Wu Road can form the Third Ring Road of Hefei. The closed area of the Third Ring Road can reach 1000 square kilometers.
