How to control the phenomenon of pedestrians running red lights

To control the phenomenon of pedestrians running red lights, we should carry out extensive and active traffic safety publicity and education to the society in traffic management, correctly guide people to strengthen the improvement of traffic safety awareness, adhere to the idea that management is service, strengthen police through science and technology, and strictly manage according to law.

First, suggestions to solve the phenomenon of pedestrians running red lights

1, vigorously publicize traffic laws and regulations and do a good job in traffic safety education. Publicity and education of traffic laws and regulations is the primary prerequisite for promoting traffic. However, in the publicity and education work, we must prevent the phenomenon of being a mere formality. This will certainly play a certain role in making people consciously accept the publicity and education of traffic laws under the guidance of traffic safety publicity and education.

Main methods:

(1) By citing traffic accidents caused by running a red light in violation of traffic safety laws, traffic offenders will regret it for life and warn people to abide by traffic laws. If you make such an accident photo exhibition for publicity at the intersection where pedestrians run red lights seriously in urban areas, the effect will be more direct.

(2) Publicize and broadcast the traffic violation cases of pedestrians running red lights in the news media, which will attract the attention of people from all walks of life and achieve the effect of self-education and publicity and education for others.

(3) Organize specialized personnel to enter the jurisdiction to carry out special publicity and education. Relevant units in the jurisdiction cooperate with the organization, and the traffic police brigade will send police to explain traffic regulations and safety knowledge from time to time.

2. Strengthen law enforcement, correct and strictly correct traffic offenders who run red lights, and eliminate the misconception that individual traffic offenders who run red lights are insignificant.

In dealing with the problem of pedestrians running red lights, we should strengthen law enforcement while emphasizing publicity and education. The police on duty at intersections must correct those who run red lights, strictly correct them and strictly enforce the law. For those traffic offenders who try to escape punishment, we should do a patient publicity and education work to make them take the initiative to admit their mistakes: do not listen to dissuasion, go their own way, and severely deal with serious traffic offenders who affect normal traffic order according to law. This eliminates some people's misconceptions that it is trivial for pedestrians to run red lights, and also forms a strict control atmosphere in crosswalks.

Second, the reasons for pedestrians running red lights

(A) poor awareness of traffic laws and regulations. For this reason, people who run red lights always think that this is a trivial matter, and traffic violations are not real violations. They think that traffic violation is just a habit of personal traffic behavior, as long as it is not seen by the traffic police, it doesn't matter. Some people think that busy work, rushing to time and running a red light are excusable, which does not mean that other illegal acts should be severely punished.

(2) luck. For various reasons, people can always rationalize their illegal behavior of "running a red light". Luck psychology not only greatly reduces the safety factor of traffic-exposing pedestrians to endless traffic, but also reduces traffic efficiency-the disorder of mixed traffic of people and vehicles hinders the smooth flow of roads.

(3) the mentality that the law does not blame the public. The offenders who run red lights are often a group of people. If the traffic police investigate and deal with them one by one, it is very difficult to enforce the law and it is easy to cause confusion. If only a few people in the illegal crowd are chosen to enforce the law, it is easy to have unfair ideas, and then they will have resistance to unfair law enforcement.

(four) the existing punishment measures are not enough to deter illegal acts. At present, there are two main penalties for pedestrians running red lights, verbal warning and fine. For the goodwill oral education of traffic police or police assistants, the object of punishment often admits mistakes orally, but does not agree with them in his heart. As for fines, with the improvement of the economic level, many pedestrians do not agree with fines, and will continue to go their own way after paying fines. There are also many pedestrians who have taken advantage of the law. After confirming that there was no traffic police at the intersection, they ran a red light.

For the traffic control department, the governance of running a red light has always been a headache. The main reason is the high cost of law enforcement.

Because pedestrians, as the object of law enforcement, do not have the conditions for passing the penalty points and fines similar to the motor vehicle filing system, they are generally mainly reminded and persuaded. In addition, in the process of law enforcement, it is inevitable that many pedestrians and traffic police will importune and try to escape punishment. This behavior reduces the efficiency of traffic police law enforcement, and then increases the cost of law enforcement.

To sum up, the traffic problem of pedestrians running red lights, like other traffic violations, is not a hopeless traffic problem, although it cannot be completely solved in a short time. As long as we carry out extensive and active traffic safety publicity and education in traffic management, correctly guide people to improve their traffic safety awareness, adhere to the idea that management is service, and adopt new modern traffic management concepts such as strengthening police through science and technology and strictly administering according to law, the traffic violations of pedestrians running red lights will be gradually reduced, people's civilized traffic behavior and public transport concept will be enhanced, and more obvious results will be achieved in creating a civilized and orderly road traffic environment.
