Is it common for you to cross the street uncivilized? "It's too dangerous, there are many cars on the first ring road, and the speed is not slow, and once they cross the road and are hit, the consequences are unimaginable." In response to the public's feedback, on October 31, Red Star News reporters visited many intersections in Chengdu and found that the phenomenon of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles running red lights is not uncommon, and almost every intersection has a similar situation, and the smaller the intersection, the more serious.

"Grabbing lights" at major intersections is common
Nearly half of the people at the intersection ran a red light
At about 10:00 a.m., the reporter came to the intersection of Fuqin West Road and Jinqin Road, and the vehicles on the two roads were not as many vehicles as the main roads of the city, and when there were fewer vehicles, the intersection would appear green at no car, and at this time there would be pedestrians, electric bicycles, and bicycles running red lights. The reporter stopped a grandfather who ran a red light, he said that there was no vehicle passing anyway, so he came over and would not affect the normal driving vehicles.
At the intersection of the First Ring Road and Qingjiang East Road, the reporter met a lady who was riding a bicycle to run a red light, and she said that there was an emergency when she went out today, so she ran the red light, if it is usual, it will never be like this. The reporter noticed at the intersection that whether it is pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles, when crossing the first ring road, they will basically pass normally in accordance with traffic rules, and when crossing Qingjiang East Road, many citizens run red lights. Due to the cross-line bridge on Qingjiang East Road, many citizens use the bridge pillar as a natural barrier, although it is still a red light, many people have walked to the middle of the road to wait for the red light.
Subsequently, the reporter came to the intersection of the First Ring Road and Renmin North Road, compared with the previous two intersections, the intersection did not see pedestrians running red lights, and occasionally electric bicycles and bicycles ran red lights. However, the reporter noticed that many pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles at the intersection started driving in advance when the green light was not yet on, and the phenomenon of "grabbing the lights" was more serious.
After a morning of visits, the reporter found that the larger the traffic intersection, the less the phenomenon of running red lights, but the situation of "grabbing lights" is common, and the smaller the intersection, the more people run red lights. At the intersection of Shiren East Road and Jinluo Road, pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are more serious, and nearly half of them pass through the intersection in the form of running red lights.
Provincial hospital intersection, pedestrians running red lights
Just 100 meters from the intersection
Many people climbed over the isolation fence
When learning to drive a motor vehicle, the instructor will remind the trainees to slow down when driving to the intersection. Running a red light is dangerous, and it is even more dangerous to cross the road by climbing over the barrier fence.
At 1 p.m., the reporter saw near No. 11 Qingjiang East Road that a citizen walked to the middle of the road, and then climbed over the guardrail to the opposite side of the road. Such a phenomenon is even more serious at the entrance of The First Ring Road Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital and Sichuan Provincial Orthopaedic Hospital. Although two pedestrian crossings have been set up at the entrance of the provincial hospital, many citizens still pull their suitcases and cross the road over the central barrier. Especially at the entrance of Sichuan Orthopaedic Hospital, because it is located at the exit of the subway, some pedestrians walk out of the subway mouth and cross the road directly, which is only 100 meters away from the intersection.
The reporter noticed that the isolation flower column in the middle of the road had the prompts of "danger is forbidden to cross" and "care for life and love flowers and plants", but the landscape plants on the other side were still stepped out of a passage. "On weekdays, the most people cross the road, basically 8 to 9 o'clock, all the time, and there are still many people." Aunt Li, a citizen, told reporters that she took a bus at the bus stop every morning and could see many people crossing the road every day, which was particularly dangerous.

Police:
Pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles running red lights are fined up to 50 yuan
With the continuous improvement of national quality, traffic norms such as "red light stop, green light line, yellow light and so on" have long been familiar, but there are still many people who hold the luck of the traffic police not punishing pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, violating the Road Law.
What penalties will be imposed for these acts? According to the staff, according to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, pedestrians who run red lights can be verbally warned, or fined more than five yuan and less than fifty yuan, which is determined by the traffic police on duty on the spot according to the situation. At the same time, for the behavior of not crossing the road in accordance with the regulations, the corresponding punishment can be carried out according to the situation.
