(Update: Newly added Works Bureau will not modify it and “Apple Actual Test” is incorrectly marked)
The outer ring road of the Tainan Westport Bridge was recently opened and the related road signs have been developed accordingly. One of the “7-segment turn” road signs has sparked heated discussions among netizens. However, the locals are not surprised, “Take line 19 next door and you can turn left directly, and outsiders will follow in a big circle.”
There is a fixed traffic jam on Xigang Bridge during travel hours. To solve the long-standing traffic problem, the city government opened an outer ring road to Madou to evacuate traffic. The outer ring road was opened last week. However, a “7-stage turn” road sign confused passersby. Some netizens uploaded a photo and noted: “Xigang Outer Ring Road is officially open! But do you see the point? Damn, I just want to turn left. Why do you want to go around a big circle?” It sparked a heated discussion and went viral in several communities.
According to the police, the road has not been open for a long time and there have been no reports of pedestrian-related traffic problems. However, some police officers privately said that people in the area who had to take the outer ring road from Xinxing Street would turn left at the lane entrance to Line 19 in advance. Even if you are “wrong” on the bridge, there are already relevant signs to guide “turn around”. This snake-eating signal seems a bit redundant, “really superfluous.”
The Works Bureau noted that Xinxing Road in Xigang District did not have a left-turn lane to enter the Xigang Outer Ring Road. After meeting and discussing with the relevant units, it was decided to place a detour sign “Zing 67” to guide people who need to turn left on the outer ring road to drive the correct route.
The Works Bureau said the logo pattern is similar to the 9P line type, which is handled in accordance with regulations. In July this year, it was explained to local people in advance, and there is no question. Thanks to netizens for their advice. The Works Bureau does not believe it is necessary to make changes.
According to the live measurement of “Apple News”, the “7 segment turn” road sign is mainly aimed at the traffic flow on Xinxing Road. Since turning left is prohibited, it is necessary to turn right at the first intersection of the Westport Bridge and go around like a “snake” for seven consecutive times. Take a right next time, go under the bridge and then go up the bridge, you can connect to the outer ring road, off-peak, about two minutes to finish. If you miss the right turn intersection, you need to go to the other end of the access road and exit the embankment road, turn left to go under the bridge, turn left, go through the uphill section , turn right to the Xigang Bridge, go straight to the end and follow the signs to the outer ring road, the distance takes less than 4 minutes.
“Apple News” noted that traffic signs follow, and the roads in and under the bridge are not specially marked, which is easy to misinterpret and cross the bridge again. The intersection is marked with “Qigou, Madou”, but not marked with indicators such as “turnaround”. Once you lose it, you have to make a big circle to turn to the other side of the bridge.
Nearby residents said this indicator was plotted too orderly and complicated. People on the ground would take straight line 19, larger and unobstructed, to turn left onto the outer ring road. It is impossible to take the Xinxing Highway. Also, if you want to go to Madou, you don’t have to go through the outer ring road. It is even closer to the general rural highway. “Just make a sign that it is forbidden to turn left. Why draw that picture?”
Some netizens shared this photo of the road sign on the “New Road Observation Academy” fan page. Many netizens left a message and laughed and said, “I thought I was greedy for snakes!”, “If you want to turn left, turn right seven times.” A map for kart racing? “,” If you keep turning right, you can go left “,” I know the direction, but if I turn around like this, I’ll get lost … “, but some netizens pointed out: Westport. Therefore, it cannot turn directly. “” This is for you to turn under the Westport Bridge. “(Report Wang Zhihong / Tainan)
