Is it illegal to sprinkle sprinklers on pedestrians?

Legal analysis: It is not illegal to spray sprinklers on pedestrians, but the relevant departments require to avoid them, resulting in water spraying on pedestrians, which brings security risks.

The netizen quipped, "Since Weibo, every winter, Xi 'an's reserved program is sprinkling water, which makes pedestrians and vehicles fall down one after another.". In fact, it's not just Xi 'an. As long as you want to check, almost all cities with sprinklers have this problem. The abuse of sprinklers for so long and so many years has caused injuries to people and cars, directly turning good things into bad things. In fact, there is no national standard when to use sprinklers. It is absolutely a joke to continue sprinkling water on freezing days in winter in the north where dripping water becomes ice. On the one hand, this problem is caused by the deviation of some administrative officials' values and world outlook. They think that sprinkling water can remove dust and reduce noise, but they directly ignore the safety of citizens. On the other hand, there are also problems in the evaluation of sprinkler payment. In some places, payment is made according to the number of sprinklers, which directly leads to sprinklers spraying water more than once. After all, there is no hatred between anyone and money.

Urban management needs money, especially during the epidemic this year. In most places, fiscal revenue has dropped sharply, and less money has been invested in urban management. How to put limited funds into places where they are needed more and do better urban management is not only a problem for managers of third-and fourth-tier cities, but also a problem for managers of first-and second-tier cities and even international cities. There is an urgent need to introduce national standards for the use of sprinklers. It is expected that there will be no sprinklers on duty in the streets in winter, freezing season and rainstorm.

Legal basis: Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.

Sixty-first pedestrians should walk on the sidewalk, and if there is no sidewalk, they should walk by the roadside.

Article 62 Pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should take crosswalks or crossing facilities. When crossing a crosswalk with traffic lights, follow the traffic lights; When crossing a road on a section without traffic lights or crosswalks, or crossing a road on a section without crossing facilities, you should pass after confirming safety.
