Taipei Hydraulic Office Advises Avoiding Riverside Areas as Typhoon Champi Nears
Taipei's Hydraulic Engineering Office advised citizens to avoid riverside areas and parking, as peripheral storm circulation and high tides raise water levels. Floodgates may close, and vehicles unmoved after four hours face fines.
The Taipei City Hydraulic Engineering Office warned that Typhoon Champi's outer bands could bring heavy rains and strong gusts during high tide. The public is advised to avoid low-lying riverside areas like Bailing and Taipei Bridge sections. Floodgates may initiate one-way exit or full closure as water levels rise; vehicle owners can register for SMS alerts and check water monitoring tools.
Key takeaways
- Due to typhoon circulation and high tides, Taipei officials urge avoiding riverside parks; evacuation gates may enforce exit-only or complete closure at any time.
- Vehicles unmoved four hours after floodgate control measures face fines between NT$1,800 and NT$4,800 plus towing fees, with SMS alerts available for owners.
