濟南超越北京 再成我國首堵城市

Jinan, capital of east China's Shandong Province, ranked as the country's most congested city during the first quarter, followed by Beijing and Hangzhou, a traffic congestion report showed last Wednesday.

上週三發佈的一份交通擁堵報告顯示，中國東部的山東省省會濟南成爲一季度我國擁堵最嚴重的城市，緊隨其後的是北京和杭州。

It is the second time that Jinan surpassed Beijing to be the most jammed city since the third quarter of last year, according to a report compiled by map service provider AMAP and a transport research center attached to the Tsinghua University.

該報告由地圖服務提供商高德地圖聯合清華大學下屬的某交通研究中心編制。報告稱，這是濟南繼去年三季度之後，再次超越北京成爲第一"堵城"。

Other top 10 of most congested cities include Harbin, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Guiyang, Kunming and Guangzhou.

其他進入"堵城"排行榜前10的城市有：哈爾濱、重慶、鄭州、深圳、貴陽、昆明和廣州。

Traffic congestion eased greatly during the first quarter, as large numbers of people working in cities traveled back to their hometowns to celebrate the spring festival, AMAP analyst Fang Yiduo said.

高德地圖分析師房一多表示，由於大量在城市工作的人回到自己的家鄉共度春節，所以在第一季度大城市的交通擁堵情況大大緩解。

First-tier cities including Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai see congestion reduce by 40 percent during the same period, Fang added.

房一多補充說道，包括北京、廣州和上海在內的一線城市在同一時期擁堵情況降低40%。

In terms of speed, the average speed in rush hours in Jinan was slightly over 20 kilometers per hour.

在速度方面，濟南高峯時段的平均時速略高於20公里每小時。

Hong Kong performed well with a traffic speed of nearly 30 km per hour in rush hours thanks to its advanced transport infrastructure and high proportion of highway.

得益於先進的交通基礎設施及高比例的高速公路，香港在交通流動速度方面表現良好，在高峯時段大約爲30公里每小時。
