Traffic congestion on Bolang Avenue – Cycle and pedestrian way imperative!

During Chinese New Year, a huge volume of vehicles congregated on Bolang Avenue in Chishang Township, Taitung County. Although the majority of cars parked on the same side of the road, the arrival of vehicles from the opposite direction caused immediate congestion. Police directing traffic at the intersection of Bolang Avenue and “Road to Heaven” (Wan-Hsin Road), the area that experienced the greatest flow of traffic, proved to be not particularly effective. There was a stark contrast between Bolang Avenue, where bulk of people and cars congregated, and the cycle way, which remained open and free from congestion.

Similarly, the immediate area around ‘Takeshi Kaneshiro Tree’ was packed with people, with both lanes of the road besieged with people and cars. The citizen journalist believes that to provide tourists with a first-class trip to the area, a public notice restricting the area to pedestrians and cyclists is absolutely necessary.

農曆過年時間，台東池上鄉伯朗大道聚集了大量的人車，雖然車輛多單邊停靠，但對向一有來車，交通頓時打結。伯朗大道和天堂路匯流處車流最大，警察指揮也不見得有效。伯朗大道大量的人車匯集，但單車道卻非常順暢，人數成強烈對比。而「金城武樹」周邊一樣人滿為患，兩條路都湧現人潮及車潮。公民記者認為，如果要讓遊客有趟優質的田園之旅，公告為單車及徒步區勢在必行。
