the smooth way to school is full of care
changsha's primary and secondary schools and kindergartens are opening today, and with the morning rush hour traffic, the traffic on the city roads has increased dramatically. in response, the changsha traffic police department has made plans and formulated plans in advance during the summer vacation to ensure that children can enter school more safely and smoothly.
at lushan international yanghu experimental school, the reporter saw that the pink heart zebra crossing and the capitalized "give way to pedestrians" were particularly eye-catching. under the command and guidance of security guards, traffic police, and parent volunteers, passing vehicles passed in an orderly manner, vehicles picking up children stopped and went, and students entered the campus one after another.
"in the past two years, a total of 74 colorful heart-shaped zebra crossings like this have been added throughout the city." according to the traffic police department, unlike the common white zebra crossings, the zebra crossings with colorful "new clothes" are particularly eye-catching and more recognizable, and can effectively remind vehicles to slow down and give way in advance.
at the gate of bocai yanghu primary school, the pedestrian overpass invested and constructed by changsha urban development group pioneer urban investment company is under intense construction. the main part of the bridge has been completed and the construction workers are laying granite slabs on the sidewalk. "the project started construction in march this year. the workers braved the scorching heat and worked overtime during the summer vacation to make up for the delays caused by the flood season and strive to deliver it before the end of september." the on-site construction manager told reporters that after the pedestrian overpass is put into use, it will be more convenient and safer for students to cross the road.
"my child studies at yali foreign language school. the school has separated pedestrians and vehicles, and the security guards, traffic police, and parent volunteers outside the school are guiding them in an orderly manner. it was particularly smooth for me to send her to school today." citizen hu zhongdong sighed.
reporters learned that as the school season begins, changsha traffic police department has adjusted and optimized the traffic lights at 168 intersections around 98 schools in the city, and set up a "signal school protection plan": continuous yellow flashing is turned into on lights, such as the traffic lights at the entrance of lugu central primary school have been changed from yellow flashing control during the summer to normal traffic light mode; pedestrian crossing time is increased, such as increasing the pedestrian crossing time by 10 seconds at the liujia chong guihuaping intersection around qingyuan primary school; traffic signal timing is optimized at intersections during peak hours, such as increasing the release time by 10 to 15 seconds at the west entrance of the wanjiali road-guhan road intersection around changsha experimental middle school and mawangdui primary school.
suggestion
optimizing traffic organization with a "one school, one policy" approach
a safer, more orderly and smoother traffic environment around the campus is also the "back-to-school gift" given to the children by the changsha traffic police department and members of the municipal cppcc.
"the transportation of children to and from school is an issue of particular concern to every parent. in accordance with the principle of 'no research, no suggestions', members of the federation of overseas chinese jointly conducted on-site research in some schools in the city where traffic safety issues are more prominent, and held seminars to collect demands from teachers, students and parents." municipal cppcc member tan xiaodan introduced that in the preliminary research, she and members of the federation of overseas chinese collected feedback from 15 primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the city on the transportation situation to and from school, and compiled them into a table, which was submitted as an attachment to the proposal.
"for example, lower grade students have small steps and walk slowly. some schools have wider crossings but short traffic lights, so the green light often turns red halfway through the walk. after the traffic police department learned of this, they conducted on-site inspections and made timely adjustments to increase the crossing time for pedestrians at traffic lights around 29 schools." tan xiaodan also admitted that during the peak hours of school, the traffic conditions around different schools are different and very complicated. during the process led by the changsha traffic police department, schools, streets, communities and other relevant functional departments all actively cooperated and coordinated governance.
to this end, she suggested: use the "one school, one policy" approach to optimize traffic organization; set up buffer zones, school protection passages, and distribution areas; scientifically implement optimization measures such as one-way traffic, no left turns, and no turning; each school should implement staggered school hours according to the circumstances; actively manage the random parking of vehicles at school gates; link up with the community to explore parking resources around schools; insist on internal and external linkages to guide schools to implement the separation of people and vehicles; and jointly call on the general public to abide by the law and travel in a civilized manner.
implement
members praised changsha traffic police for their efficient handling of proposals
the cppcc members and changsha traffic police both attach great importance to the traffic environment around the campus, and the suggestions put forward by the members coincide with the traffic police's control measures. in recent years, the municipal traffic police detachment has continued to carry out the work of investigating and managing traffic safety hazards on roads around campuses. since the beginning of this year, 148 hidden dangers on roads around campuses have been investigated and rectified.
the relevant person in charge of the traffic police department said that after investigation, it was found that some schools had common problems such as irregular setting of school protection passages, wide roads without pedestrian lights as required, and random parking of pick-up and drop-off vehicles. in response to these problems, the traffic police department, together with schools, streets, communities and other functional departments, "made policies based on the school" to jointly protect the children's travel safety.
on the premise of full investigation and demonstration, a "right-in-right-out intersection" was set up at the intersection of guitang road and changtang road and the intersection of guitang road and jingwan road on the west side of shazitang wanjing waterfront primary school, the pedestrian crossing at the north gate of the school was moved eastward, and a pedestrian crossing signal light group was added; the pedestrian isolation guardrails on the road section of wanjing waterfront middle school were improved, and a school protection passage was set up; the zebra crossing of the pedestrian crossing at jinshanqiao school of changsha no. 1 middle school was widened, and the steel pipe in the middle of the isolation column was removed, etc., to reduce traffic conflicts and eliminate safety hazards;
strictly implement the 182 police guard posts in the city, deepen the "staggered parking" measures, set up cones within 150 meters on both sides of the school gate, and standardize the parking of parents' pick-up vehicles;
regularly carry out special actions to rectify traffic violations involving schools and universities, especially to strictly investigate and punish illegal parking such as multiple parking in the vicinity of schools, parking at an angle on the road, parking in the wrong direction, and parking on the sidewalk, in conjunction with the city's urban management department;
link up with the local street communities to coordinate the open resources of the school's surrounding properties and units to implement staggered parking;
carry out special traffic safety education for students and provide on-site education at schools on a regular basis...
"the traffic police department actively implemented the proposal handling, which demonstrated a highly responsible attitude towards the safety of students going to and from school, and also achieved positive results." tan xiaodan said that she and the members of the overseas chinese federation of the municipal cppcc will continue to pay attention to the traffic environment around the campus, make suggestions and speak for the people through the cppcc platform, and implement the people's demands from "paper" to "ground."
