Why can't parents who pick up students use tricycles?

BEIJING, Feb. 23 (Reporter Bai Jiege, Wang Li, Li Jingcheng) The new semester of primary and secondary schools across the country has started, and many schools and traffic police departments have once again reminded parents not to use tricycles and other vehicles to pick up and drop off students. The punishment measures announced by Weishi County, Henan Province, in addition to "impounding cars", may also "suspend classes", and related news has aroused concern and discussion. How to implement similar management measures in various places in the past two years? What experience can you refer to?

The information sent to parents by Weishi Experimental Primary School in Kaifeng, Henan Province quoted the notice from the superior, and the law enforcement department will strictly investigate the phenomenon of using tricycles to pick up and drop off students around the school. "Anyone who uses a tricycle to pick up students will be towed away, and parents and schools will be punished at the same time." Some media confirmed this to the staff of the three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicle rectification headquarters in Weishi County: "If parents pick up their children and the tricycle is detained, we will inform this school, and some schools will stop students from attending classes. "

The idea of suspending classes has aroused concern and discussion. Some people think that safety is important, but we should also consider the actual situation of parents. Others suggested that even if parents are illegal in cycling, they should not influence their children by suspending classes. Since the beginning of the new semester, how has this measure been implemented in Weishi County, and have any students suspended classes? As of press time, the reporter has not received any further response from the local authorities. Mr. Gao, the owner of a shop near the experimental primary school in Weishi County, said that it is not a new rule to ban tricycles from carrying passengers locally, nor is it only for picking up and dropping off students. Parents with disability certificates can drive tricycles, but they can't pick up and drop off their children with tricycles.

Teacher Gao said that after the implementation of the relevant regulations, the traffic conditions around the school have improved. However, it is suggested that the competent authorities consider limiting time and area to facilitate the masses.

In February 2023, in Chaoyang District, Beijing, parents picked up their children from school with two-wheeled vehicles and tricycles.

In recent years, many places in China have implemented measures to restrict the driving of electric tricycles, and stressed that it is not allowed to use electric tricycles to pick up and drop off students. A kindergarten in Bozhou, Anhui Province issued a notice in April last year prohibiting parents from using tricycles to pick up and drop off their children. Students should consciously refuse to take tricycles and illegal vehicles to and from school, take the initiative to stop drivers' unsafe driving behavior and prevent accidents. According to the data released by the competent department of Bozhou in the same month, since 20 19, electric tricycles have caused tens of thousands of traffic accidents in the local area, with more than 5,000 casualties, accounting for more than 70% of all traffic accidents in the urban area. Liu Han, dean of the School of Education and Management of Bozhou Vocational and Technical College, believes that this is related to the poor braking performance of electric tricycles and the poor safety awareness of drivers. Liu Han said: "Some tricycles travel faster, but there are no safety warning lights or they are not obvious. Some drivers are not very good at driving and have a weak sense of traffic regulations. They change lanes at will while driving ... "

Since June 1 day, 2022, except for the approved electric tricycles, no other electric tricycles are allowed to pass in Bozhou city for 24 hours. More than half a year has passed, and some citizens think that traffic order has been improved. Free bus cards are issued to students from primary schools to high schools in the central city, and free companion cards are issued to parents of students from kindergartens to primary schools. Students are encouraged to take buses to and from school, and parents take buses to pick up and drop off students. For owners who actively deal with electric tricycles within the prescribed time limit, incentive measures for recharging bus cards will be implemented. Relevant departments have also carried out special investigations, focusing on optimizing bus routes around primary and secondary schools and residential areas, ensuring transportation capacity and rationally supplementing bus vehicles.

In Ganzhou, Jiangxi, the phenomenon of electric tricycles picking up and dropping off students in rural areas has also attracted attention. Da Qiao Town Central Primary School in Xinfeng County, Ganzhou City, wrote an open letter to parents last June165438+1October, indicating that the school is located next to National Highway 357, and the traffic volume is particularly large. The contradiction between the traffic situation of special roads and the traffic flow of students going to and from school is particularly prominent, which brings great inconvenience to travel and also has potential safety hazards. Call on parents not to use tricycles and old scooters to transport their children to and from school, and cooperate with schools to educate their children to obey traffic rules on their way to and from school. Wen Zhenfei, principal of Da Qiao Town Central Primary School in Xinfeng County, said: "In the past, when going to and from school every day, all kinds of tricycles and scooters were parked at the school gate, and our school was next to the national highway, which was prone to traffic accidents. After the introduction of this regulation, the traffic order at the school gate is much better now, and there are fewer security risks. "

Liu Dingjun, an old man in Gubei Town, Xinfeng County, has three grandchildren who need to be transported to and from school. The children who work outside the home specially bought an electric three-wheeled old scooter, which is limited to three people. In the past, children could sit in crowded places. After the ban was implemented last year, children walked to school. Liu Dingjun said: "It is more convenient to drive an electric car to pick up children. Now, for safety reasons, it is understandable not to ride. Now let the children walk to school by themselves, and we will walk them when we have time. Walk for more than ten minutes, but it won't be far. When the children are older, they can also go to school by bike. " Xiao Xufeng, a policeman of the Traffic Police Brigade of Xinfeng County Public Security Bureau, said: "Old people use scooters or tricycles to pick up their children to and from school. Most scooters and tricycles are unlicensed, and overcrowding is also common in rural areas. Most of these transport groups have not received traffic safety learning and training, and they often run amok when driving, which brings great hidden dangers to rural traffic safety. Therefore, it is necessary to ban tricycles from sending them to school in rural areas. "

In February 2023, at the entrance of a primary school in Chaoyang District, Beijing, a tricycle picked up children from school.

At present, the situation that electric tricycles pick up and drop off students still exists in some areas. At 4: 30 in the afternoon, at the entrance of a primary school in Chaoyang District, Beijing, there were many parents and vehicles, including some tricycles. Some windows are affixed with the words "pick up and drop off children for personal use" or the owner's mobile phone number to avoid suspected illegal operation and facilitate moving the car. The traffic at the school gate is slow, and there are traffic policemen and coordinators to divert traffic.

At the same time, various localities have also introduced supporting measures. Anhui Huangshan traffic police were on duty at the school gate during school to educate and persuade illegal manned tricycles. The free bus line for primary school students in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province started from 202 1 to 65438+February, and one person was guaranteed. Qi, deputy director of the operation management department of Shijiazhuang Public Transport Group, said: "After two stages of optimization and adjustment, at present, we have opened 17 toll-free lines for primary school students, with about 26 vehicles put into operation every day, running 7 1 time every day, and now carrying about 1800 passengers every day. During the term of school, you can take the bus for free. The number of free rides for primary school students is 92 times per month, and the number of free rides for parents' accompanying cards is 184 times per month. "
