How to improve citizens’ awareness of courtesy

A safe and orderly traffic environment is inseparable from strict order management, and it is also inseparable from traffic participants' awareness of traffic civilization. All traffic participants are no strangers to "civilized courtesy". "Give" is a word that is often active in our lives. It is an important manifestation of civilized transportation and an important link in building harmonious transportation and building a civilized city. However, the current traffic situation on certain road sections in our county is full of vehicles fighting for the right of way, people and vehicles fighting for the right of way, and non-yield phenomena. Embarrassing, dangerous and even shocking scenes can be seen everywhere. The phenomenon of not giving way has become a cause of Road congestion and important causes of traffic accidents are incompatible with the image of our civilized city. Therefore, it is imperative to advocate civilization and call for courtesy, strive to improve the civilized quality and social civilization of traffic participants, enhance citizens’ awareness of civilized transportation, and create a public transportation environment of “civilized travel and safe travel”.

1. Specific manifestations of non-compromise in road travel

Through field surveys, monitoring and case analysis, we can see the current "non-compromise" in road travel in Hanyin urban area. The behavior is mainly manifested in the following three aspects: refusing to let others go when driving, refusing to yield to others, and refusing to yield to cars.

(1) Cars do not allow people to drive. The main manifestation is that motor vehicles pass through zebra crossings, crosswalks, and do not actively slow down or stop to avoid pedestrians when encountering pedestrians crossing the road. As the number of vehicles and drivers continues to increase, the driving skills and civilized qualities of drivers vary. Some irregular, uncivilized, and illegal driving of motor vehicles make the road traffic safety situation not optimistic. When pedestrians cross the road, they are often in a strong position and do not take the initiative to slow down or avoid pedestrians. They disregard the safety of pedestrians and walk recklessly. According to statistics, there are about 2 to 3 injury accidents caused by this in urban areas every day.

(2) People do not give way to cars. The main manifestations are pedestrians crossing the road without using zebra crossings, crossing guardrails, and walking freely on the road. This phenomenon is more dangerous than when the car refuses to let people go. People who don't let the car often pay an irreversible and higher price in blood. Everyone knows that "time is precious and life is more valuable" and "it is better to wait for three minutes than to grab a second." However, some pedestrians ignore safety. Even if the crosswalk is not far from them, and even if vehicles are passing one after another, for the sake of convenience, walking less, and saving time, they subjectively believe that motor vehicles dare not hit pedestrians. Even if there is danger, they will brake and slow down, so they can cross the road at will and move around randomly. This can easily cause motor vehicles to brake, fail to avoid, and cause traffic accidents.

(3) Don’t give way to cars. The main manifestations include driving in the lane, overtaking without following regulations, and randomly crossing in queues. The number of non-motor vehicles such as motor vehicles and electric vehicles is increasing day by day. At present, the number of motor vehicles in our county has reached saturation, with the number of various types of motorcycles and electric vehicles reaching more than 68,000. There are conflicts between non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles. increasingly sharp. There are many reasons for not letting the car go. Part of the reason is that the driver is not concentrating when driving, such as talking on the phone, chatting, eating, etc. Part of the reason is that the driver’s driving skills are not high and he takes improper measures when encountering the situation. Others are The driver's intentional behavior, such as speeding, changing lanes at will, competing with non-motorized vehicles, and walking at will in the flow of traffic and people. At the same time, it is also common for non-motorized vehicles to cross the road. These drivers often have the mentality of rushing first, taking advantage of others, and taking advantage of every opportunity, and ignore the principles of civilized and safe driving. Their rushing behavior has seriously affected the normal driving of other non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles, and even led to traffic jams and traffic accidents.

2. The main reasons for non-compliance in road travel

As the urban road traffic environment becomes increasingly complex, traffic congestion points gradually increase, and the psychology of road traffic participants also becomes more and more complex. The more impatient people are, the more people refuse to give way to each other. The main reasons for not giving way to each other are as follows:

(1) The safety awareness of traffic participants is not high. Awareness determines behavior. If traffic participants have weak safety awareness, ignore safety laws and regulations, put themselves first, and take pride in robbing, they will often behave uncivilized. We all know that the main contradiction in road traffic is ultimately caused by the incoordination between people, vehicles, roads and the traffic environment. To achieve harmony between people, vehicles, roads and the traffic environment requires people to have a strong sense of Traffic safety awareness and awareness of obeying laws and regulations.

(2) Traffic participants lack traditional moral awareness. The ancients said: A gentleman is courteous.

Being courteous and courteous has been the style of a gentleman since ancient times and is a model of morality. However, when participating in traffic, to be courteous, you must first delay your own time and sacrifice your own interests. In this way, people will hesitate whether to give way. The psychology of some traffic participants will inevitably be unbalanced, and they will inevitably have such thoughts: We are also participating in traffic travel, why do I have to give way first when two cars meet? Why should I sacrifice for equal interests? Why should I suffer in the face of conflicts? In this way, rushing has become a natural thing.

(3) Traffic management is difficult to achieve, and objectively, it condones non-compliance behavior. After all, our police force is limited at this stage, and some intersections and road sections cannot be on duty 24 hours a day. Therefore, when investigating and handling various traffic violations, it is impossible to be thorough and comprehensive. In daily traffic management work, we can only arrange police forces as reasonably as possible to investigate and deal with some key road traffic violations. However, we often cannot take into account some minor violations that are dangerous but difficult to investigate and deal with. Even if there are Electronic police assisting law enforcement are also difficult to capture. Over time, traffic participants develop some bad driving habits.

3. Countermeasures against non-compliance in transportation

How to improve the traffic safety awareness, legal awareness and civilized awareness of the whole society, abandon bad traffic habits, and make courtesy become the responsibility of traffic participants Conscious behavior will form a social trend of civilized travel and harmonious transportation throughout the county. As a traffic participant, I believe that in addition to increasing the police force and using off-site law enforcement equipment to increase the investigation and punishment of illegal activities, we must also conduct comprehensive and in-depth publicity and education.

(1) Strengthen safety education for motor vehicle drivers. Compared with non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, motor vehicles are obviously in a stronger position in road traffic. Therefore, strict control and strict examination of driver's licenses are required; for drivers who apply for a driver's license for the first time and drivers who have committed illegal acts, traffic safety measures must be increased. Regulatory training and education. When driving, first, you must be alert. Driving behavior is a high-risk behavior. You may encounter various situations at any time and need to take corresponding measures. Therefore, you must concentrate on driving without any distractions in order to cope with sudden road traffic conditions. The second is to have a sense of law-abiding. Drive carefully and do not speed. Slow down at intersections, slow down at crosswalks, give way to pedestrians, slow down or stop when there are yield signs, etc. The third is to have a sense of public morality. Don't drive a fighting car, don't drive a domineering car. The fourth is to have a sense of civilization. Park in a standardized manner and do not park indiscriminately. When encountering traffic jams, do not weave in and out at will. Fifth, we must have a people-oriented consciousness. When driving and encountering pedestrians crossing the road or intersection, consciously slow down and stop. When you see pedestrians hesitating, you may wish to actively wave your hands to let pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles go first.

(2) Strengthen safety education for non-motor vehicle drivers. At present, the scale of electric vehicles continues to increase, the speed is getting faster and faster, and more and more problems are arising. The civilization and safety awareness of non-motor vehicle drivers urgently need to be strengthened. First, you must use the non-motor vehicle lane when passing, and do not pass on the motor vehicle lane or sidewalk. Second, when arriving at an intersection, you must abide by the relevant yield regulations. When parking, you must park in a standardized manner and do not park indiscriminately. Third, pay attention when turning and signal in advance. Fourth, control the speed when driving and do not go too fast to avoid accidents. The fifth is to enhance safety awareness and actively give way to motor vehicles and pedestrians.

(3) Provide pedestrian safety education. Pedestrians are in a vulnerable position when participating in traffic, so they should give way to others to ensure safety. First, always walk on the sidewalk when traveling, use zebra crossings when crossing the road or pass after confirming safety, and do not wander around on the road at will. Second, when passing through an intersection, you must abide by the rules of "Look, Stop, and Go" and abandon the bad habit of "Chinese-style crossing the road". The third is to give way to motor vehicles. Although cars take people for granted and are protected by law, in order to ensure safety and show civility, when we are not in a hurry, we might as well wave our hands and let the cars go first.

(4) Strengthen the publicity of “civilized transportation” activities. Public service advertisements on "Civilized Traffic, Courteous Travel" will be published on websites, newspapers, radio, television and other media, and a long-term mechanism for public welfare publicity will be gradually established and improved. The media and websites set up columns and special topics, and adopt various publicity forms to positively guide the people to conduct civilized traffic. At the same time, a large-scale exposure campaign for "uncivilized traffic behavior" was carried out. An exposure desk is set up in relevant media to encourage the public to record and criticize the uncivilized and uncivilized behavior of drivers and pedestrians through taking photos and videos.

(5) Strengthen the creation of an atmosphere of publicity and education about traffic safety in public places.

Make full use of traffic management window units, campuses, communities, passenger terminals, large public parking lots, highway toll stations and service areas, driving schools, gas stations, car dealerships, car repair yards and other places to set up "civilized traffic, "Civilized Travel, Courteous Travel" publicity boards and slogans, and the slogan "Civilized Traffic, Courteous Travel" is played repeatedly on outdoor display screens, taxi prompt screens, highway variable information boards and other places to create a practice of traffic civilization in the whole society and bid farewell to traffic. A strong atmosphere of bad habits.

Let us *** join hands and travel with courtesy. Give up order, give up safety, give up civilization, give up harmony, create a good road traffic environment, and finally build a beautiful civilized city.
