[Reporter Cai Yahua/Taipei Report] Located in the section of Tiding Avenue and Neihu Road in Neihu District, Taipei City, the locomotive waiting area in front of the Lailai Soymilk Store is regarded by motorcycle owners as the most deformed locomotive waiting area in Taipei City. You must drive in the opposite direction. The area waiting to be transferred is full of dangers. Taipei City Councilor Li Mingxian also received complaints from motorcyclists. The Taipei City Traffic Control Engineering Office stated that at the end of May, the sign for prohibiting motorcycles on the inner line and the sign board will be removed, and the compulsory transfer will be free.

Li Mingxian said that if the motorcyclist Chen Qing wants to wait to turn into Lane 91 in the first section of Neihu Road, he must first ride in the "reverse direction" to the waiting area in Diding Avenue. If there is a traffic rush hour, he will even stop on the slotted line. " Not only has the media repeatedly reported this super-abnormal waiting area, but he, legislator You Yulan and Youtuber "Penguin" also observed it on the spot in November last year.

Last week, Lee Ming-hsien invited the delivery office to attend the survey, and the delivery office promised to write off the prohibited motorcycles on the inner line by the end of May, remove the license plates, and open the transfer without compulsory waiting.

Li Mingxian said that the design of the waiting area is unreasonable and does not take into account the traffic flow during commuting time, forcing riders to park their motorcycles in the waiting area, or have to drive in the opposite direction. The "hit zone" is full of dangers, and we continue to strive for the implementation of traffic equality.

Jiang Chang'en, Section of the Traffic Engineering Department, said that the policy of opening the direct left turn of locomotives at the intersection of Section 1 of Neihu Road and Section 2 of Tiding Avenue has been studied for a period of time. According to the request of the councilors last year, follow-up data collection and internal evaluation and cooperation with private units After discussion, it was decided to allow locomotives to turn left directly.

Jiang Changen said that this section will be opened at the end of May. Motorcycles can turn left directly into Lane 91, Section 1 of Neihu Road. The waiting area will still be reserved for motorcycle riders who dare not turn left directly. After opening, they will continue to observe traffic accidents If the number of cases increases or decreases, adjustment and improvement measures will be proposed later.
