China's annual national college entrance examination, known as the Gaokao, entered its second day on Monday, with candidates poised to take their English exam. 

For some, it's the last day of Gaokao, but in the 29 provincial regions that have adopted the new exam system, students will continue to take subject exams until Tuesday or Wednesday.

The relevant transportation departments have urged candidates to leave early and use public transport to avoid heavy traffic. 

The public is encouraged to travel outside peak hours to help ease congestion, and drivers are asked to give way to vehicles transporting students to exam sites.

Traffic police, medical personnel and volunteers will continue to support the students and provide all-around assistance.
