(Central News Agency reporter Huang Qiaowen, Taipei, 13th) The Danjiang Bridge officially opened to traffic yesterday, attracting a large number of people and vehicles on its first day. The Northern Region Branch Office of the Directorate General of Highways reminded today that while enjoying the beautiful scenery, the public should pay attention to their safety and are prohibited from illegally crossing lanes or parking illegally to take photos, so as not to endanger driving safety.
The Danjiang Bridge is an important landmark connecting Tamsui and Bali. The main bridge is approximately 920 meters long, with a main span of 450 meters, making it the world's longest span single-tower asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, designed by the internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid Architects.
The Directorate General of Highways' Northern Region Branch Office issued a press release stating that the beautiful scenery of the Danjiang Bridge has attracted many people, and visitors should pay attention to their safety while capturing the beautiful views.
The Northern Region Branch Office explained that the Danjiang Bridge has clear lane diversion mechanisms. Pedestrians and cyclists are strictly prohibited from crossing into scooter lanes or car lanes. Additionally, due to the heavy traffic flow on the bridge, any illegal crossing or illegal parking will very easily cause following vehicles to react too late, leading to scrapes or serious secondary accidents.
To protect the safety of road users, the Directorate General of Highways reminded that road users should drive in designated lanes according to signs and markings, and should not illegally cross or linger on the roadway for the purpose of taking photos. When driving on the bridge, maintain a safe distance and always pay attention to the前方動態 to avoid accidents due to limited visibility or sudden traffic violations.
In addition, attention should be paid to the guidance messages on the variable message signs (CMS) on the roadside and cooperate with relevant control measures.
The Northern Region Branch Office pointed out that it will continue to coordinate with the New Taipei City Government Police Department to strengthen patrols, advise against and enforce illegal lane crossing behavior, to ensure a safe and smooth traffic environment on the bridge.
