CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Chongqing Raffles City has been opened on September 6. Due to the opening ceremony and promotion activities, the traffic patrol expects that there will be congestion in and around the shopping center of Raffles. It is recommended that people who go to Chaotianmen take public transportation.

According to Traffic Patrol, due to the extremely limited parking spaces around Chaotianmen and the peak seasonal shopping in Chaotianmen Market, it is expected that during the opening ceremony from 6 to 8 September, there will be different degrees of traffic jam between the Dongshuimen Bridge and Qiansimen Bridge on the surrounding roads to Yuzhong, Shaanxi Road, Xinhua Road, Minzu Road, Changbin Road and Jiabin Road.

At that time, in order to prevent large area and long-time traffic jam, Yuzhong Traffic Patrol Detachment will adopt traffic restriction measures according to the real-time situation. Citizens can pay attention to weibo accounts of "重庆交巡警" (Chongqing Traffic Patrol) and "渝中交巡警支队" (Yuzhong Traffic Patrol Detachment) to get information about real-time traffic situation.

At the same time, the traffic patrol officers suggest that people who come to Raffles Square choose the following modes of travel:

(1) Public transportation

It is advised to travel at staggered peaks and choose bus, Rail Transit or walking. Citizens can go out by Line 1 and Line 6, Bus 111, 114, 135, 151, 461, 466, 866, 414, 440, 503, etc.

(2) Avoid congested roads

Please pay attention to the road condition and plan the travel route in advance to avoid the traffic jam. In case of traffic control, please obey the traffic patrol on-site command. (Translated by Luo Juan, Fathom Language Limited)
