Vehicles stop haphazardly and pedestrians walk haphazardly
Directly hit traffic safety
Interview: February 8
Interview location: Jiangyou City Old S205 Line Tianjia Temple to the north interface section
Hidden dangers: missing traffic signs, vehicle speeding violations
The section from Tianjiasi to the north interface of the old S205 line in Jiangyou City is a "net red road" that is highly sought after because of the neat rows of Metasequoia trees planted on both sides of the road. But behind the "net red beauty", road traffic accidents occur frequently. According to the statistics of the traffic police department, in 2021, there were 14 casualties in this section, injuring 13 people and killing 4 people. On February 8, the reporter went to the scene to understand the situation.
"There is no zebra crossing at the door, and you have to cross the road with your own care and rely on your eyesight!" Grandma Deng, who lives at the intersection of Tianjiasi Temple, said.
Grandma Deng has been running a small supermarket near the intersection of Tianjiasi Road for 30 years, and over the years, she has witnessed many car accidents and still has lingering feelings in her heart: "This road is usually more chaotic, there are many people and cars, those cars drive fast, and they have to stop randomly." ”
The reporter saw at the scene that the road section is about 3 kilometers long, a two-way lane, and the speed limit is 50 km / h. The road is densely packed with settlements, shops and schools, but there are only two forks in the road and the crosswalk in front of the school, which are far and unclear, and people living on both sides of the road can only cross the road.
During the observation, the reporter also found that although a number of speed limit signs were set up along the way, most of the passing drivers chose to "turn a blind eye" and the speed was faster.
Towards the direction of Pingwu to the Shuikou Temple section, turn right is the old S205 line adjacent to the Water Road, the intersection is prominently equipped with a speed limit of 50 km / h sign, most vehicles are still "going their own way", the speed is faster.
Reporter: The vehicle speeding is illegally stopped, the traffic chaos is prominent, what measures have the traffic police department taken in this regard?
Zhong Haowei, deputy captain of the Jiangyou Traffic Police Brigade: In response to the problem of speeding, the traffic police will patrol along the way and set up mobile speed measurement points. However, due to the fact that this section of the road belongs to the urban-rural interface, coupled with the limited police force, our management is relatively weak. Next, in view of the existing phenomenon of vehicle speeding and illegal parking, the police force will be adjusted to strengthen road surface control.
Reporter: There are many residential areas in this section, and there is also a school, why didn't the crosswalk be planned in time?
Zhong Haowei: There was a new zebra crossing before, but because of the rolling of passing vehicles, it was not clear over time. There is a real need to increase the zebra crossing in this section of the road, and we have also applied to the road authorities.
Reporter: For road safety hazards such as crosswalk zebra crossings are not clear enough, there are fewer signs and planning, why did the Transportation Bureau fail to rectify them in time?
Huang Hui, deputy director of the Jiangyou Transportation Bureau: In the preliminary investigation, we also found problems such as crushing and missing road markings and road signs in this section. At present, it has been incorporated into the next road rectification plan, which will be discussed at a recent meeting and implemented immediately after its adoption.
——·Reporter's Note·——
Missing traffic signs, random parking of vehicles, pedestrians walking and walking around... Behind all kinds of traffic chaos, it reflects that the management of relevant departments is not in place. The remoteness of the road and the lack of police strength can not become the reason for the lack of supervision, and only in the face of problems can be rectified in time and optimized as soon as possible to avoid potential traffic safety hazards and improve the travel experience of the masses. I hope that the beautiful scenery of the "net red road" will not become a road with frequent accidents and poor safety, so that the management department will "blush", but will become a warm road and a road of peace of mind.
