A brief discussion on how to control illegal boarding and discharging of passengers on highways

With its characteristics of fully enclosed, fully interchanged and one-way traffic, expressways have greatly shortened the distance in time and space and have become the mainstream highways for highway transportation in our country. However, some passenger vehicle drivers ignore traffic safety and, driven by economic interests, park arbitrarily on the highway to pick up and drop off passengers, seriously threatening the smooth flow and safety of the highway. This has also become a difficult issue in highway traffic police management. So, how to control the illegal loading and unloading of passengers on expressway buses? The author briefly talks about the root causes of illegal parking of passenger buses to pick up and drop off passengers on highways, and briefly discusses some opinions on how to control illegal loading and unloading of passenger buses on highways: 1. The root causes of illegal parking of passenger buses to pick up and drop off passengers on highways. The reasons for illegal parking of passenger buses to pick up and drop off passengers on highways are as follows: (1) Highway isolation facilities have been repeatedly damaged, providing convenient conditions for passenger cars to park and pick up and drop off passengers. Article 2 of the "Highway Traffic Management Measures" stipulates that "the highway referred to in these Measures refers to the highway that has been inspected and recognized by the national highway authority. A highway that complies with highway engineering technical standards and has complete traffic safety facilities, management facilities and service facilities specially designed for high-speed driving of motor vehicles." When the expressway was opened to traffic, "perfect traffic safety facilities" were installed. However, after it was opened to traffic, firstly, the quality of the masses in villages or nearby units along the highway was too low, and the isolation facilities were artificially destroyed; secondly, pedestrians destroyed the isolation facilities to make it easier for them to cross the highway; thirdly, the highway management department could not keep up with the later maintenance. , resulting in more "entrances and exits" on the expressway, objectively providing convenient conditions for passengers to get on and off the expressway; (2) Economic interests are one of the reasons why passenger buses illegally get on and off passengers. I learned privately from the owners of operating buses that during the year , the main operating income of passenger vehicles is that during the Spring Festival and golden holidays, the buses are full of passengers. During the rest of the time, the passenger transport market generally has a problem of oversupply and demand, and the buses are often not full. Under this circumstance, some bus owners and drivers, driven by economic interests, let economic benefits prevail in the choice between traffic safety and economic benefits; secondly, some "scalpers" along the highway also took a fancy to this For convenience, they attract passengers along the highway, contact bus owners and drivers, and seek economic benefits; (3) Some passengers seek to save money and convenience, which provides objective conditions for highway passenger bus parking during daily patrols. During the punishment and investigation work, we learned that those who ride on the highway are mainly people from villages or nearby units along the highway. If they take the bus normally, they often need to take a ride to the urban area or outside the highway ramp. Secondly, most of the passengers on the bus are people from villages or nearby units along the highway, so they want to get off the bus nearby for convenience. , and passenger car owners and drivers also park nearby in order to get the next passenger; therefore, these passengers, in order to save money and convenience, block buses and get on and off on the highway; again, passenger car owners and drivers deceive passengers into getting on Instead of taking people to their destinations, they find the nearest village along the route to wait for the passengers to drop off; (4) The punishment is not strong enough and the deterrent effect is not strong enough, resulting in repeated bans on illegal boarding and alighting of passengers on passenger buses. Due to the lack of front-line police force, passenger bus violations occur. The illegal behavior of parking passengers on and off is highly random, and there are management loopholes in time or space to a certain extent. There is a lack of effective daily management of illegal occupation of emergency lanes. When such illegal behaviors occur, some cannot be discovered and corrected in time. At the same time, because illegal parking of a bus can only be punished with a fine of 200 according to the law, this illegal cost is nothing to some long-distance passenger vehicles, which makes the driver have a fluke mentality, causing the bus to park illegally to get on and off passengers. The behavior is repeated repeatedly.
