A number of safety facilities have been added to the third section of National Highway 247

On January 24, the "Mianguan Spicy 1 Degree" reporting team reported on the existence of major safety hazards in some sections of the Santai section of National Highway 247. On February 8, the reporter came to the scene again to visit and found that a number of safety facilities had been added to the road, and the villagers said: "Now crossing the road is much more secure." ”

Add a number of safety facilities to reduce safety hazards

In response to the problem of fast speed in the long downhill section, the reporter saw that the three traffic police departments added checkpoints at the starting point of the long downhill. "By placing temporary warning cone barrels, downhill vehicles are forced to slow down." Shi Liwen, commander of the second squadron of the three traffic police brigades, said. In addition, the reporter noted that a new warning sign with a speed limit of 60 km / h was set up on the side of the road, and a temporary speed measurement point was added at the end of the ramp.

In view of the problems such as many forks in the road section and the lack of warning signs, Ma Chao, deputy director of the Highway Management Institute of the Santai County Transportation Bureau, told reporters that the county transportation department immediately took action and set up 9 new stop and give way signs in the road section, while installing 20 flash lights and yellow slow indicators on the long downhill and turning points, and adding 16 warning and speed limit signs.

At the end of the downhill ramp, three traffic departments set up 500-meter warning cones and water horses in the middle of the road for separation to reduce retrograde and cross-road conditions. In consideration of the villagers' travel problems, five new zebra crossings have been set up on this section. "All signage and speed limiting facilities have been installed at the moment, and the demarcation of non-motorized lanes and concussion markings has been completed." Ma Chao said.

The reporter learned from the Santai County Transportation Bureau that in view of the problem of large hidden dangers of mixed traffic of people and vehicles in the outer lanes of the road section, the santai County Transportation Department has implemented non-motorized roads in the nearly 5-kilometer hidden road section to achieve the purpose of separating motor vehicles from non-motor vehicles, and has now been completed.

The reporter learned that the daily traffic flow of this section is about 12,000 vehicles per day, and in recent days it has reached 19,000 vehicles per day. In view of the sharp increase in the flow of traffic on the return trip after the holiday, Shi Liwen introduced that the three traffic police brigades arranged 4 police forces on this two-kilometer road, and insisted on monitoring the whole process of interval speed measurement + mobile speed measurement to ensure the safety of the Spring Festival.

Hidden intersections will be "surgically" being designed by experts

Are the villagers satisfied with these rectification measures along the way? The reporter learned that this section of the road runs through Shengfeng Village, Tongchuan Town, Sandai County, and the village settlements on both sides of the road are dense, and the demand for villagers to cross the road is high. Huang Guishan, a villager in the village, told reporters that after this period of rectification, the speed of the car was indeed slower than before. "Now crossing the street is much more secure." Xie Shengyun, a villager in Daxing Village, Tongchuan Town, said.

He Ping, secretary of the party committee of Shengfeng Village, introduced that in the past two days, the village committee is doing a good job in publicizing and educating the villagers on safety by holding party meetings, visiting households, loudspeaker broadcasts, etc. "The villagers also believe that the intersection of the old three shooting roads and national highway 247 must fundamentally solve the problem, or install a permanent traffic light." ”

For the expectations of the villagers, the reporter came to the scene again at 6:30 that night to see that the temporary traffic lights had been installed in place and the parking line had been demarcated.

In the future, how will the intersection be systematically modified to tighten the traffic "safety valve"? Shi Liwen introduced that the county party committee and county government attach great importance to road traffic safety work, and are organizing experts to re-optimize the intersection of the old three shots and national highway 247, and re-plan the green belt in the middle of the road and some auxiliary facilities, not only to facilitate the travel of vehicles and the masses, but also to ensure road safety, minimize safety hazards, and build a lifeline.
