Common traffic knowledge in rural areas

1. What common sense should be kept in mind when driving on rural roads for safe driving?

When it comes to rural traffic conditions, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely "disorder". Yes, there are relatively few traffic police in rural areas, and traffic lights are even rarer. What is also lacking is the popularization of traffic regulations. Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that the traffic conditions on rural roads are relatively chaotic, and many accidents are related to this.

Most people will be confused by rural roads with complicated road conditions, so it is very important to ensure driving safety on rural roads.

Slow down when approaching the village entrance

01

Due to weak traffic safety publicity in rural areas, you are likely to encounter crosswalks when passing through rural intersections. vehicles and pedestrians. Then, if there is a speed limit sign at the entrance of the village, drive according to the sign. If there is no sign requiring it, you should slow down, sound the horn in advance, and be prepared to brake at any time.

Be vigilant and prevent villagers from passing

02

When driving on rural roads or dirt roads, be careful not to drive too fast to prevent local villagers from suddenly jumping onto the road. Villagers on both sides of the road have frequent daily interactions, and crossing the road is a common occurrence. They lack road traffic safety knowledge and have weak safety awareness. They think that passing vehicles pass by their door and they are the owners there.

When they hit the road, whether they are slow-moving old people or women leading children, they go their own way or act arrogantly, many of them do not take cars seriously, which poses a threat to passing vehicles. If you see villagers crossing the road, you must slow down in advance, sound your horn, and do not compete with them. When passing, it is best not to pass in front of the pedestrians, but to deliberately go around behind them.

Don’t honk your horn when you see livestock

03

In rural market towns, there are many alleys on the roadside. In addition to bicycles and motorcycles, livestock and livestock are everywhere. There are also many cars. Some villagers who were driving their livestock along the roadside started to stir when cars approached. They rushed into the road to protect their livestock, often forgetting their own safety.

It is better to be careful when encountering obstacles

04

Local villagers often use the roads as their own courtyards, parking their vehicles anytime and anywhere, and for an unlimited amount of time. Put it in whenever you want. The road surface is often used as a threshing floor and passing vehicles are used as voluntary rollers, causing great inconvenience to road traffic. When encountering grains to be dried, slow down the vehicle speed, choose the thinner side to pass, and beware of sudden actions by persons drying grains that impede traffic, or of cats, dogs, or children hiding among the grains and grass.

Be especially careful on potholed dirt roads

05

There are many potholes, gravels and other obstacles on the dirt roads. Do not drive too fast, otherwise the car will vibrate. Intensified, it not only causes damage to the vehicle's transmission system, traveling system and other mechanical parts, but also directly threatens driving safety. Especially when driving on wet and muddy roads on rainy days, you must hold the accelerator steady, control the vehicle speed, and use medium and low gears to pass. Note that when passing through slippery areas, speed changes and emergency braking are not allowed. Even if you need to slow down, you must reduce the throttle to control it. When there are potholes or rocks on the road, you should also consider the vehicle's clearance from the ground and turn the steering wheel to avoid them carefully. When passing through soft, muddy and water-logged sections, you should be particularly cautious and get off the vehicle to observe if necessary. When it is clear that the wheels will not sink into the mud, you can shift to a lower gear and pass slowly. If there are ruts on the newly opened dirt road, you should try to drive along the ruts and do not take blind risks.

Reduce the accelerator and go downhill slowly

2. What are the skills for driving on rural roads

(1) When the car is on potholes or rocky roads When driving, you should consider the ground clearance of the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to avoid it carefully.

Be particularly cautious when passing through soft, muddy or waterlogged roads, and get off the vehicle for observation if necessary. If there are ruts on the road, you should try to drive along the ruts, as shown in Figure 3-22.

(2) There are many potholes and gravel on rural roads. Especially when driving on rainy days on waterlogged and muddy roads, you must hold the accelerator pedal steady, control the vehicle speed, and use medium and low gears to pass, such as As shown in Figure 3-23. (3) When driving on a dirt road, avoid turning the steering wheel sharply and step on the brake pedal gently.

When encountering a large puddle, you should avoid driving. If you cannot avoid it, you should determine whether it can pass. When passing, keep driving straight and pass as quickly as possible.

When you encounter a mud pit on the road that you cannot avoid, you should drive through it slowly at a lower speed. (4) When passing through a large horizontal pit, the vehicle speed must be reduced first and the front wheel slowly slides into the bottom of the ditch before accelerating.

After the front wheel goes into the ditch, immediately release the accelerator pedal and use the same method to make the rear wheel go over the ditch. When a car encounters a transverse groove while driving, the driver should observe the width and depth of the groove. If the width of the groove does not exceed the depth of the tire, the car can drive directly over the transverse groove; if the width of the groove exceeds the depth of the tire, the car cannot To drive through blindly, you must use thick wooden boards, iron plates, or stones to support the transverse ditch, and then drive the car so that the tires pass over the wooden boards, iron plates, or stones.

The operation steps are as follows: 1) If you find a cross ditch in front of the road, you should immediately relax the accelerator pedal, and when the vehicle speed slows down, shift into low gear. 2) When the front wheels of the car pass through the transverse ditch, immediately step down on the accelerator pedal. When the drive wheels are blocked in the transverse ditch, the traction force increases, and the torque of the transmission shaft also increases. With the help of the driving wheels being blocked, the vehicle retreats. The impact force of forward rolling and the increased traction will twist the driving wheels onto the road surface and drive out of the ditch.

If the transverse ditch is wide but not deep, cars cannot go straight through. Because when driving straight through a ditch, the left and right wheels of the car go into the ditch at the same time, causing the car to jump up and down.

If the jumping amount is too large, the leaf spring will break. If it is a passenger car, it will not only damage the leaf spring, but also cause the passengers to jump with the beating of the car, and even jump out of their seats and collide with the roof of the car. The tent was injured. In order to avoid this phenomenon from happening, when the car passes through such a shallow and wide transverse ditch, it should first slow down, lower the front wheel into the ditch, and turn the steering wheel a little to the right so that the left front wheel of the car goes down the ditch first. After going down the ditch, the steering wheel Immediately turn back to the left, so that the right front wheel goes into the ditch smoothly, and at the same time, the right front wheel goes up the ditch first. When the left front wheel goes up the ditch, the steering wheel turns a little to the right again, so that the left rear wheel goes down the ditch first, and when the right rear wheel goes up the ditch, After the wheel goes into the ditch smoothly, immediately turn the steering wheel a little to the left so that the right rear wheel goes into the ditch first. When the left rear wheel also goes into the ditch, immediately return the steering wheel to allow the car to drive normally.

Special reminder: First, drive slowly on rural roads, that is, drive slowly and turn slowly; second, carefully observe the surrounding situation and choose a good driving route; third, be careful when barking at domestic animals blocking the road. Flute and wait patiently so as not to frighten it. .

3. Traffic problems in rural areas

Traffic safety villages have solved major rural traffic safety problems

Hubei Ge Xiucai

With the development of agriculture With the adjustment of the industrial structure and the continuous development of the rural economy, more and more farmers are buying motor vehicles to engage in the transportation industry. Among the nearly 20,000 motor vehicle drivers in Gucheng County, Hubei Province, the proportion of rural motor vehicle drivers Up to 60 and above. Due to farmers' weak awareness of traffic laws and poor traffic safety awareness, traffic accidents occur frequently, which seriously threatens people's lives and property and affects rural social stability. The Traffic Police Brigade of Gucheng County Public Security Bureau of Hubei Province started by strengthening the establishment of traffic safety villages, giving full play to its role in rural traffic management, legal publicity, and traffic safety knowledge education, and exploring new ways to maintain traffic order and prevent traffic accidents.

In the creation of the traffic safety village, the team followed the working idea of ??"creation promotes management, and joint prevention ensures smooth traffic". On the one hand, it actively reported to the township party committee and *** in the jurisdiction, and determined the township supervisor The deputy mayor of the political and legal affairs department is the road traffic management specialist of the town and is responsible for the creation of the traffic safety village in the town; the secretary of each administrative village branch is the first person responsible for the creation of the traffic safety village in the village, and the village security director is the safety village The specific implementer of the creation; the creation work was included in the comprehensive social security management target examination, and the assessment results were used to cash in the salary of the security director, thus stimulating the enthusiasm for creation. On the other hand, the team determined that the instructors of each squadron will be responsible for the creation of traffic safety villages. Give full play to the functions of the traffic police section, make the creation of safe villages an important part of the basic work of traffic management of the section police, and incorporate it into the performance evaluation of the section police, which stimulates the enthusiasm of the police for creation. Since the beginning of this year, the team has established 11 leading groups in villages along the highway and created 11 high-standard traffic safety villages, with a creation rate of 60%.

Pingchuan Village in Shihua Town is one of the "Ten Red Flags" for the construction of grassroots party organizations in Hubei Province, and is also one of the "Top Ten Economic Villages" in Hubei Province. Since National Highway 316 passes through the village, the economy is very active, and many villagers They purchased motor vehicles for transportation. However, due to farmers’ weak awareness of traffic laws and safety, and frequent traffic accidents, not only did they fail to get rich, but they were saddled with heavy debts, which seriously affected the villagers’ normal production, living order and society. Stablize. After learning about the situation, the No. 2 Traffic Police Squadron of the team took the initiative to contact the Pingchuan Village Party Committee and the Village Branch Committee to carry out activities to build a traffic safety village between police and citizens. First, more than 5,000 yuan was invested to set up a traffic safety village sign, build a traffic safety education activity room for farmers, present 2,500 copies of the "Traffic Safety Convention" and 3,500 books such as the "Farmers' Traffic Safety Knowledge Manual" to villagers, and regularly organize farmers After watching the video of the accident, it is mandatory for the traffic police section to go to the safety village to teach traffic safety regulations once a month; secondly, in view of the work characteristics of farmer drivers who run transportation during leisure time and go to the fields to do farm work during busy farming periods, for farmers who are absent from class, police from the section will arrive at night Educate rural motor vehicle drivers on traffic laws and safe and civilized driving at farmers' homes or in the fields; third, organize vehicle management police and driving school instructors to go to farmers' households to conduct a comprehensive inspection and lecture on agricultural vehicles free of charge every quarter Mechanical knowledge classes to improve their safety awareness and driving skills; fourth, using the "Safety to Go Home" traffic safety publicity and education activity as a carrier, a variety of "Six Primary School" activities were carried out in Pingchuan Village Primary School to improve the traffic safety of primary school students. Safety awareness, in order to promote "little hands holding big hands", students promote parents' family publicity and education activities. Through the above measures, the villagers' awareness of traffic safety, laws and regulations, and civilization awareness have been generally improved. In the city-wide farmers' knowledge competition on traffic regulations, a team composed of four farmers from the village won first place. In recent years, there has not been a single accident in this village, nor has there been any phenomenon of drying food on the road. It participates in traffic management, reports traffic violations, and cracks down on highway crimes. In case of traffic accidents, it promptly calls the police, actively protects the scene, rescues the injured, and monitors the accident. It has become a conscious action of the majority of villagers to protect their property and property. In 2002, the village was rated as the "County Traffic Safety Demonstration Village". Farmers' transportation alone has increased the per capita income of the village by 40%, achieving a win-win goal of economic and social benefits. Pingchuan Village has become a wealthy village with civilization far and near.

Through vigorously carrying out traffic safety village creation activities, 10 traffic accident-free villages have emerged in the county, including Pingchuan Village and Yangxiwan Village. In maintaining rural social stability, promoting the adjustment of rural industrial structure, farmers It played an important role in becoming rich and becoming well-off.

4. How to drive safely on rural roads

The road conditions on rural roads are obviously different from those in cities, and carelessness can easily lead to serious accidents.

Rural roads are narrow, uneven and have many curves. Most of the road traffic is mixed traffic, with pedestrians, livestock, non-motorized vehicles, tractors and motor vehicles traveling in a mixed manner, all of which bring challenges to the safe driving of cars. Certain difficulties.

(1) Use different operating methods. If the driver wants to drive safely on complex rural roads, he must use different operating methods according to the different characteristics of the road surface.

① When the car passes through complex uneven roads or roads with obstacles, the driver should maintain a correct driving posture, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands, keep the back as close to the backrest as possible, use the steering wheel flexibly, and carefully Observe the road surface and choose a route, driving as steadily and at a steady speed as possible. When the car passes a large obstacle, turn the steering wheel moderately and do it urgently; avoid emergency braking to avoid increasing the load on the front axle and breaking the steel plate.

When a car passes through a complex winding and narrow road, the driver must pay close attention and correctly estimate the curve angle and road width. Except for special circumstances, drive in the middle of the road whenever possible.

If you encounter a large number of pedestrians, livestock, or rickshaws, you should slow down, sound your whistle, and be ready to stop at any time. When making sharp turns on a narrow road, the car should be driven along the outside of the road as much as possible to increase the turning radius.

Of course, at this time, it is necessary to prevent the soft roadbed from collapsing and colliding with roadside trees and obstacles. ② When passing through the rural market section, drivers should concentrate on observing pedestrians, various non-motorized vehicles, and motor vehicles, foresee the changing trends of various traffic phenomena, and be mentally prepared to deal with sudden situations, and drive calmly, at a slow speed, and slowly. , take the initiative to avoid and drive carefully.

During driving, you should always pay attention to the sound of various components, and frequently observe the instruments (especially various instruments related to driving safety). If you find any abnormality, you should stop the vehicle immediately for inspection and troubleshooting to ensure driving safety. (2) The following road sections and vehicles require special attention: ① Highway intersections, especially the intersections of national highways, provincial roads and rural roads, and the intersections of rural roads and residential buildings.

Rural vehicles, especially motorcycle drivers, have relatively weak awareness of traffic safety, and rarely have the habit of giving way to the main road when crossing an intersection. There are also poor visibility in some areas. Many houses are close to the road, and it is easy for people to escape from the front and back of the house.

②The road passes through villages and market areas. The crowds are complex and crowded, the traffic situation is chaotic, and there are many stalls occupying the roads. In addition to paying attention to people and cars, you must also be careful about stacked items.

③Section with high drop between water and cliff. The road conditions are unfamiliar, so pay attention and control your speed.

Be careful of rivers and ditches, rocks falling from cliffs, etc. ④Those who drive a motor vehicle without a license or ride a two-wheeled motorcycle without a safety helmet are likely to be driving without a license or are an apprentice.

⑤Agricultural vehicles, small trucks or tractors with cross-provincial license plates. This kind of car generally has no formal procedures, and the insurance and road maintenance fees have not changed.

The same situation applies to drivers. ⑥ Pick-up and drop-off buses for students from CMB and schools in rural areas (3-wheel or 4-wheel).

This kind of car itself may be overloaded, and it may stop to load and unload passengers at any time. ⑦A tricycle ridden by an old man.

Be careful not to scare these old people (they generally cannot ride bicycles, and they will not be able to control a tricycle in an emergency), ⑧Animal-drawn vehicles. (3) Pedestrians and others who need special attention are: first, the elderly, especially those who intend to cross the road; sudden stops, sudden starts, and sudden stops; they will have many unexpected actions; second, children and students, especially adults. Groups walking or gathering on the roadside are likely to suddenly chase and fight; the third is livestock.

5. Traffic problems in rural areas

The Traffic Safety Village has solved the major problem of rural traffic safety. Hubei Ge Xiucai With the adjustment of the agricultural industry structure and the continuous development of the rural economy, farmers have purchased machines. More and more people are engaged in the transportation industry.

There are 3,500 books, and farmers are regularly organized to watch accident videos. It is mandatory for traffic police sections to go to safety villages to teach traffic safety regulations once a month. Secondly, in view of the work characteristics of farmer drivers who run transportation during leisure time and go to the fields to do farm work during busy farming, farmers who are absent from class are provided , the police from the traffic control section go to farmers' homes or deep into the fields at night to educate rural motor vehicle drivers on traffic regulations and safe and civilized driving; third, they organize vehicle management police and driving school instructors to go deep into farmers' households, and provide free agricultural vehicles every quarter Conduct a comprehensive inspection and teach a mechanical knowledge class to improve their safety awareness and driving skills; fourth, using the "Safety to Go Home" traffic safety publicity and education activity as a carrier, we went to Pingchuan Village Primary School to carry out a rich and colorful "Six Primary Schools" " activity to improve the traffic safety awareness of primary school students, in order to promote the development of "little hands holding big hands" and students' promotion of parents' family publicity and education activities.

6. What should you pay attention to when driving on rural roads?

Control the speed of the vehicle.

There are many obstacles such as potholes and gravel on the dirt road, so the driving speed should not be too high, otherwise the vibration of the car will be aggravated.

Especially when driving on wet and muddy roads on rainy days, you must hold the accelerator pedal steady, control the vehicle speed, and use medium and low gears for shifting and emergency braking. Even if you need to slow down, you must control it by reducing the intensity of the accelerator pedal. .

2) Select the road surface. When there are potholes or rocks on the road, you should consider the ground clearance of the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to avoid them carefully.

. When passing through soft, muddy, or waterlogged roads, you should be particularly cautious. Only when you are sure that the wheels will not sink into the mud can you shift to a low gear and pass slowly.

3) Go downhill carefully. Regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy, when going downhill, you should choose a medium or low gear, reduce the pressure on the accelerator pedal and go downhill slowly, and do not slide downhill in neutral.

Because there are many potholes and rocks on the dirt road and the situation is complicated, it is often necessary to brake and slow down to avoid it on the way downhill. Especially some dirt roads have sharp turns on the way downhill. It is very easy to cause a major accident in which the vehicle wanders, spins or even rolls over. 4) Drive safely.

Don’t follow the car in front too closely while driving, so as not to be blocked by the dust raised by the car in front on sunny days or the muddy water splashed by the car in front of you on rainy days. When encountering a passing car, you should pay attention to the road surface, especially after a long period of rain, and do not get too close to the road shoulder to prevent the vehicle from slipping and causing an accident.

5) Prevent sideslip. When the front wheel slips sideways, hold the accelerator pedal steady and correct the direction to drive out.

When the rear wheel slips, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the slip and wait until the rear wheel is straightened before driving back onto the road. When the rear wheel slips on a downhill slope, you can press the accelerator pedal appropriately to increase the vehicle speed, and then drive at the original speed after the sideslip is eliminated.
