The daily average for passenger and vehicle flow is projected to be 304 million. Daily passenger and vehicle flows are expected to reach highs, potentially exceeding previous expectations due to the combination of spring break and the May 1st holiday. PredictIt markets currently forecast a 53% probability of a Democratic victory in the Georgia governor race, while the presidential prediction market sits at 47% for Democrats.

China is launching approximately 13,000 cultural and tourism activities during the May Day holiday period. The Chinese government is issuing 284 million yuan in consumer vouchers and subsidies to stimulate spending during the May Day holiday. Multiple small and medium-sized rivers have already exceeded warning levels. Authorities have ordered strengthened monitoring, early warnings, and risk inspections to manage the complex situation.
