As the arteries of Yueyang urban traffic, Yueyang Avenue and Nanhu Avenue have been suddenly closed for traffic control construction recently. It was learned from relevant departments that the construction is not only a water improvement project closely related to the masses, but also plays a vital role in urban bus lane construction, which is a key project of comprehensive traffic improvement in the main urban area. According to the plan, the two bus lanes will be completed on February 1 next year. By then, citizens will be able to enjoy the convenience brought by rapid transit.

It was said that the new bus stations will be added with intelligent electronic stop signs, adopt big data, cloud computing and Internet of Vehicles technology, and will be connected to an intelligent bus system. This will provide intelligent travel information services, including vehicle arrival information, route station information, and multimedia service functions. The dedicated traffic lights will be set up at intersections to provide bus priority traffic time of about 8 seconds to improve bus traffic efficiency. The bus-only lane management will be strengthened through installing traffic cameras at intersections and road sections and connecting with traffic police network, so as to speed up urban public transportation.
