According to a press release from the Daxi Precinct of the Taoyuan City Police Bureau, the Labor Day long weekend will be three days, from May 1st to 3rd. A large number of tourists are expected to visit Daxi for sightseeing and to purchase green bamboo shoots and 'Mama Peach' (a local specialty). While there will be no high-occupancy vehicle restrictions on the National Freeway No. 3 Daxi interchange ramps from May 1st to 3rd, traffic in the old city area will be controlled. Heping Old Street will be designated as a pedestrian zone daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, and traffic control will be implemented at the five-way intersection of Kangzhuang Road and Heping Road.
The Daxi Precinct stated that for those leaving Daxi towards Sanxia, it is recommended to turn right from Zhonghua Road onto Xinyi Road. For those heading towards Yingge, Dahuang Road can be used to connect to the National Freeway No. 3 San-Ying interchange. Southbound traffic on Kangzhuang Road is advised to take Provincial Highway No. 4 connecting to Provincial Highway No. 3B towards Longtan or Gaoyuan interchange.
