What number should I call to report a car blocking the way?
2 Answers
Call 122 to report a car blocking the way. Here is relevant information: 1. 122 emergency service: The 122 emergency service platform is a traffic accident report hotline established by China's public security traffic management authorities. If your vehicle is blocked, you can call 122. 2. Community security: This applies only to car owners whose vehicles are parked within the community. Community security personnel usually have vehicle registration records for the community. If your car is blocked or your parking space is occupied, you can contact them. 3. Insurance company: In theory, car owners usually affix their insurance labels on the windshield. In this case, you can check which insurance company the vehicle belongs to and call them directly.
Recently while driving on the street, I encountered a truck blocking the middle of the road which was really frustrating. I immediately called 110 to report it. The operator asked for details about the location and vehicle type before dispatching traffic police to handle the situation. As an ordinary car owner, I believe it's important not to hesitate in such situations - ensuring your own safety comes first: pull over to the side of the road to avoid causing more traffic issues. 110 is the universal emergency number in China, especially suitable for these non-emergency but annoying obstructions. When reporting, clearly describe your location and use navigation apps to mark the spot for easier identification. After processing, traffic police usually arrange for a tow truck to remove the vehicle - the whole process can take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour at most. It's good practice to pay attention to road conditions regularly and avoid similar risks in advance.
