Hsinchu City Trials One-Way Street on Guangfu Road to Ease Commuter Traffic

Hsinchu City authorities are implementing a trial one-way street policy on Guangfu Road Section 1, Lane 525, starting August 11. The measure will be in effect on weekdays from 7 AM to 9 AM, exclusively allowing traffic flow towards the science park.

This new traffic regulation is designed to ease congestion for the significant number of commuters heading to the Hsinchu Science Park during peak morning hours. The affected section runs from approximately 40 meters before the Hsinchu Children's Home to the Jieshou Road intersection.

During the trial, vehicles will be prohibited from entering Lane 525 from Jieshou Road, heading towards the city center. Instead, traffic will be directed from Lane 525 towards Jieshou Road, facilitating movement towards the park. Commuters normally using Jieshou Street and surrounding areas to reach the city center will need to reroute via Jieshou Road North, connecting to Guangfu Road Section 1.

City officials will deploy additional traffic control personnel at the Jieshou Road and Guangfu Road intersections to manage the flow. Traffic signal timings will also be adjusted to improve efficiency for those traveling towards the city center. Drivers are advised to follow signage, lane markings, and traffic director instructions to ensure safety and avoid last-minute lane changes. The city government will collaborate with the Hsinchu Science Park Administration to establish a forward command post for timely adjustments to traffic signals and management strategies.
