Nowadays, many families have their own cars. In recent years, more and more people are taking self driving tours. In the choice of self driving routes, people can't get around the problem of high-speed or national highway. So, which is better? Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the two options.
expressway
Advantages: fast and time-saving, complete supporting facilities, good public security, service area rest, dining, refueling, shopping, toilet and other convenient. The road condition is good, and the vehicles drive at a uniform speed, which will save more fuel than the national road. Although the speed is fast, it is relatively safer. The "safety" here is reflected in the two aspects of driving safety and traffic management.
As we all know, high-speed as a fully closed road, no pedestrian and non motor vehicle interference driving, driving more safe. In traffic management, there are speed limit, Lane monitoring (no occupation of emergency Lane), ramp monitoring and other major control means. The sign is obvious. As long as driving according to the regulations, there will be no penalty for violation of regulations.
Disadvantages: charge the corresponding toll, less landscape along the way, boring, drivers easy to get sleepy, avoid fatigue driving. There are no trivial accidents on expressways. We must always be vigilant and pay attention to driving safety.
National Highway
The "national highway" mentioned in this article generally refers to the national, provincial and county-level roads other than expressways and urban roads.
Advantages: you can enjoy the scenery along the way, stop at any time to take photos and shop, and get close contact with local customs and customs. Except for the charging phenomenon in some areas, most of them are free of charge.
Disadvantages: when passing through villages and towns and cities, driving will be disturbed by pedestrians, non motor vehicles and agricultural vehicles. When the road is narrow, it is necessary to occupy the opposite lane to overtake. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the opposite vehicles occupying the lane to overtake and the vehicles in the same direction to forcibly overtake. When encountering rural large-scale market or road maintenance, there will be congestion or even impassability.
Generally, the road conditions of national and provincial roads are better, and the probability of bad roads in county roads is higher. When using maps or navigation software to plan routes, special attention should be paid to: in English, G represents national roads, s represents provincial roads, X represents county roads, and Y represents rural roads.
In addition, we should pay attention to the traffic signs and drive according to the regulations. The good and bad customs in some areas are intermingled, and foreign vehicles should be careful to guard against 'porcelain bumping'. Most national roads have no street lights like high-speed highways, and may pass through uninhabited sections. Driving at night is strictly prohibited in the wilderness.
When planning the self driving tour route, do you want to take the highway or the national highway?
Under the premise of sufficient preparation and good vehicle condition, the basis of safe driving is the road. The choice of road not only depends on the distance and convenience, but also requires unimpeded. The road is near but hard to walk, but the detour is smooth. Which one would you choose.
The following recommendations are made according to different travel needs and travel opportunities:
The travel time is relatively urgent, and the travel destination is far away. It is suggested that the whole journey should be expressway. Although we have to bear the high-speed toll, the time and fuel saved will be more cost-effective.
Travel time is abundant, travel destination is relatively close, familiar with the road conditions, can take the national road. Refer to the map and navigation software, plan the route in advance, and try to avoid crossing county and township roads.
The travel time can be controlled freely, and the tourist destination is outside the province or across the province. It is suggested that the high-speed and national highway should be mixed. For example, when traveling from Beijing to Heilongjiang, you need to pass through Hebei, Liaoning and Jilin provinces. There are many scenic spots along the way. You can design a mixed driving route according to the actual needs. Freeway traffic quickly arrives at a node, from this node down high-speed national road into slow mode, and then on another entrance high-speed and fast to another node, and so on.
During the free period of freeway on holidays, a large number of minibuses rush into the freeway, so you can choose to go off peak or take the national highway to avoid the high-speed congestion. Usually, the navigation software will prompt that there is congestion in a certain road section ahead. You can get off the highway at the nearest exit, take a section of national highway to bypass the congested road section, and then get on the highway again. Here, I suggest you choose short distance self driving tour during free time of high speed.
Nowadays, the tourism management departments in many areas have seen the potential of the self driving market, and have developed many well-known landscape roads, such as grassland Road, coastal road, desert road, maple leaf Road, etc. Please pay special attention to them when planning travel routes.
