Have you ever felt like you were in a real-life video game? A section of the Gaonan Highway has so much roadwork going on, that motorcyclists have to constantly swerve left and right along 120m of road to avoid traffic cones-- just like a virtual obstacle course. Let’s find out more.

Motorcyclists were riding in the slow lane when a construction sign and traffic cones suddenly appeared ahead. After successfully clearing them, they were met with yet another obstacle. The riders maneuvered their bikes to navigate the second barrier, but the cordoned-off road parts seemed endless. It took a series of constant maneuvers, swerving left and right, before they finally reached a clear stretch of road.

- The route suddenly contracts inwards, making it a bit too narrow on both sides, which makes overtaking a bit difficult.

- You have to seriously jostle for space with the cars
- Do you feel it’s dangerous?
- Of course!
- Do you feel like you are riding an obstacle course?
- Driving is a little difficult.

Let’s go on a test ride to see just how many obstacles you have to overcome to get through this route. In reality, the road is really narrow, so riding it is quite nerve-wracking.

The location of this virtual obstacle course is on Kaohsiung’s Gaonan Highway. The Water Resources Bureau is carrying out dredging of the side ditches. There are not only workers on the site, but also excavators. When you add on road maintenance, there are four construction sites along the 120-meter stretch of road.

- There are too many obstacles. And if you turn right, it’s really full of obstacles here.

Kaohsiung Water Resources Bureau
Following coordination, road maintenance will be suspended during the drainage improvement period. A single-lane closure will remain in effect to minimize the impact on commuters.

During rush hour on the Gaonan Highway, traffic is already heavy. The Water Resources Bureau emphasized that it will temporarily suspend one road maintenance project to strike a balance between construction and traffic safety.
