In recent years, with the development of the region, the current average daily traffic volume of the expressways in Hunan Province has increased, and the service level is low. The expansion project is imminent. High-speed service capacity and driving safety are of great significance to support Hunan Province’s connection with the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, promote the development of regional tourism resources, and promote the coordinated economic and social development.
