Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei: Vehicles parked together in fog and fog days

Beijing’s “One Card” can be used on buses in Tianjin in the future; Beijing’s new airport can reach high speeds directly to Hebei... In the context of the coordinated development of three places in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, these ideas are all possible. The reporter learned that this year Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei will vigorously promote the docking of transportation planning, including the three high-speed highways that will start construction of the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway in the same period.

“The specific work in the recent three years is being worked out. The traffic planning should be adjusted synchronously with the industrial structure and urban layout of the three places.” The person in charge of the Planning Department of the Beijing Municipal Communications Commission revealed in a recent interview that “The state is uniting the requirements of the three provinces and cities. Prepare traffic planning."

Large outer ring road around Beijing is under construction

According to the "Beijing Transportation Development Outline (2014-2030)", Beijing will strive to build a traffic integration system in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei that is "a six-radio, two-air, and five-port." “One-Round and Six-Radiation” refers to the intercommunication of the three places in the high-speed road network, and a ring refers to the large-scale outer-enveloped city road with a total length of approximately 940 kilometers surrounding Beijing.

It is understood that Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has a number of highways that are currently interconnected and interoperable, of which Beijing and Hebei have 6 highways, Tianjin and Hebei have 9 highways, and Tianjin and Beijing have 4 highways.

Beijing’s high-speed road borders and Hebei have the largest number of docking points, and the opening of “Dearhead Road” to form a complete six-way expressway network is the focus of this year’s work. At present, Hebei has already built part of the large outer road around the city. It is expected that it will be able to connect high-speed road networks in six directions around Beijing.

According to the person in charge of the Planning Department of the Beijing Municipal Communications Commission, Beijing will also have several high-speed roads that will start construction in Hebei during the same period this year. “The Jingshi Second Passage is actually the so-called Beijing-Kunming Expressway. This year, it strives to open to traffic; National Highway 111 is headed for Fengning, Hebei. This year it will also strive to open.” After the opening, Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway and Jingkun Two high-speed highways.

The person in charge also revealed that there were two high-speed roads in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan and Beijing-Tianjin-Thailand directions as the main axes of Tianjin. As the third high-speed road between Beijing and Tianjin, this year Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are preparing to establish the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway in the same period.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei main cities can all arrive in one hour

In addition to the high-speed road network, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration of aviation and railway has also taken shape.

In December 2013, the Tianjin-Qinzhou high-speed railway opened operations, opened a “cock-neck” section between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and provided fast, convenient, efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly passenger transportation channels, greatly shortening the space-time distance between cities.

At present, with the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei high-speed railway line, major cities such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Beijing-Shijiazhuang, Tianjin-Tianjin, Tianjin-Tianjin, and Tianjin-Hebei can achieve direct access within one hour or one hour, forming an hour-long metropolitan area.

In addition, for heavy impacts of heavy air pollution on air transport, the three regions are exploring the aviation and rail transport, including the Tianjin Airport and the Beijing-Tianjin inter-city interconnection, the Shijiazhuang Airport and the Beijing-Shijiazhuang high-speed interconnection, and there will be two special guest buildings in the future. Beijing-Kowloon Railway Station and Beijing-Hong Kong Unicom Beijing New Airport.

Sandi road network will be shared

The coordinated development of transportation in the three places pays more attention to cooperation in air pollution control. According to the warning of heavy air pollution, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei will jointly respond. The most direct manifestation is that the methods for stopping motor vehicles in the three places are the same.

In the Beijing Traffic Operations Coordination and Command Center, a large screen is dedicated to displaying the air quality data of the day. Highway access information from Hebei, Tianjin and neighboring provinces and autonomous regions will also scroll on the big screen. According to the person in charge of the command center, if a severe smog hits the expressway, Beijing’s transport control center will receive information on the highways of neighboring provinces and cities. The traffic commission will use this information through the website and radio stations to the public. broadcast.

“The current three-land coordination management mainly involves the exchange of information. In the future, we will consider the access to the information of the entire three-way network. We will actively negotiate with Hebei and Tianjin to share the road network information as soon as possible.” The command center official said that Beijing There is already such a technology.

Dialogue with An Zhiqiang, Deputy Director of the Planning Department of Beijing Municipal Communications Commission, Nationally Compiled Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Transport Plan

Reporter: What are the plans for the coordinated development of traffic in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei?

An Zhiqiang: The current work is carried out in accordance with the General Secretary's proposal to establish a comprehensive, fast, efficient, safe, large-capacity, low-cost transportation network for Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The communications agencies of the three places and the development and reform departments are also communicating. The State is also formulating plans for the unified preparation of traffic in accordance with the requirements put forward by the three provinces and cities.

Reporter: What kind of traffic patterns will the three places create?

An Zhiqiang: In fact, a large pattern of integrated aviation, railways and highways has been formed. It is probably a single point centered on a radial road network that forms a large outer ring of 940 kilometers around Beijing. At present, part of the large outer ring has been completed, and the remaining 490 kilometers are under construction. At that time, large-scale transit trucks will be provided with carrying areas. In addition, the road and railway will also adjust the proportion of bulk energy transportation. In the past, there were many roads. Now it is adjusted to the railway. This is more reasonable.

Reporter: Will Beijing's rail transit extend to Hebei?

An Zhiqiang: Whether the extension depends on the needs of the city and the development of the industry. There are many types of rail transportation, such as subways, city rails, and light rails. The long distance from Beijing to Tianjin is unacceptable for the use of the subway, and it may be connected using existing suburban railway lines. The travel distance from 50 km to 70 km is also under discussion.

Reporter: In the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei transportation, does Beijing place itself in the position of Big Brother?

An Zhiqiang: These are all unremarkable. The positioning of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei itself is very clear. Beijing cannot develop itself. The lack of transportation can't help others, and others can't lack it.

The traffic development in the three places is not simply the construction of road and rail connections, but the spatial coordination and correlation based on comprehensive transportation networks and industrial upgrades and transfer to form a transportation network that implements the East-West, and connects the northern and southern economic corridors to form an internationally competitive network. The pattern of interactive development of industrial clusters and urban agglomerations.

The key to this is to transform the traditional development model with the road as the main body into the public transportation mode with the track as the main body to organize the city. Actively constructing an intercity rapid-track network will support the leading role of Beijing, Tianjin, and Shijiazhuang central cities in driving the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, and promote regional cooperation and division of labor, as well as the “simultaneous urbanization” of large, medium and small cities in urban agglomerations.
