Recently, the traffic police department of the Harbin Municipal Public Security Bureau has carried out the activity of "courtesy to zebra crossings, civilized accompaniment" to continue to regulate the uncivilized phenomenon of motor vehicles not yielding to pedestrians.
Recently, the traffic police department has found that the vast majority of drivers are able to give way to pedestrians by accessing the video surveillance of the museum's turntable road, Shanghai Street, Anlong Street, Youyi East Road, Nanzhi Road, Huaihe Road and other locations. Taking the museum roundabout as an example, although there are no pedestrian crossing signals, drivers take the initiative to stop and give way, and pedestrians can quickly cross the street and actively cooperate. However, at individual intersections, due to factors such as poor sense of courtesy, incomplete observation, and anxious driving mentality, there is still a phenomenon of impoliteness. In this regard, the traffic police department has also strengthened its efforts to standardize and effectively dissuade and educate illegal drivers.
Performance 1: Insufficient lookout, pedestrians crossing the street are "stopped"
At about 10 o'clock on the 4th, when the bus with the number of black A0291** (new energy) turned right from Jingyang Street into Youyi East Road, several pedestrians were "stopped" at the intersection, and the pedestrians had to wait for the vehicle to cross the street again, and the pedestrian signal light was green at this time. The police immediately stopped it and informed the bus that it was large and had many blind spots, which was very prone to traffic accidents with pedestrians. After being educated, the driver also realized the harmfulness of violating the law, and said that in the future, he would raise his awareness of courtesy and give way to pedestrians crossing the street. In the end, the police gave him a fine of 50 yuan and a penalty of 3 points on his driver's license.
Performance 2: Scramble for the road, and the vehicle accelerates through the intersection
Ten minutes later, at the same location, the black truck A158R* encountered a pedestrian crossing the street when it turned right into Youyi East Road, but the driver did not slow down, but accelerated to pass, and the pedestrian signal was green. The traffic police immediately stepped forward to stop the illegal act and signaled him to pull over. The driver actually said that he was driving without looking at the lights just now, and felt that there were a lot of pedestrians and wanted to cross the street quickly. The police pointed out that the zebra crossing is a "safety island" for pedestrians, and the probability of accidents in such violations will be greatly increased. In the end, the person was also fined 50 yuan and 3 points on his driver's license.

Performance 3: Seeing the stitches and inserting the needle, the safety awareness before the zebra crossing is not strong
At about 10:30 on the same day, when the black AD012** (new energy) car turned right from Jingyang Street into Youyi East Road, 9 pedestrians were passing at the intersection, two of whom were still in wheelchairs. But after hesitating for a few seconds, the car still passed through the intersection in a way that saw the stitches, brought inconvenience to pedestrians crossing the street, and showed the characteristics of the driver's lack of safety awareness. In the end, the traffic police gave the person a fine of 50 yuan and a penalty of 3 points on the driver's license.
