In the early morning, before the mist in the mountains had cleared, the "red vests" of Beishan Town, Changsha County, picked up brooms and went on the road. Every day, these volunteers from various positions will take the initiative to take the initiative to go on the road to patrol and clean, and assist the "road chief" to guard every inch of the right of way.

The road leads to the masses and connects the hearts of the people. In the past year, Changsha County has made "embroidery efforts" in highway management, comprehensively deepened the work of the "road chief system", party members and cadres have "implemented policies" in highway management, and town streets and villages have "compared beauty" in highway landscapes. The rolling and undulating highways, like streamers falling between urban and rural areas, support the happy dreams of the people of Changsha County.
Stepping out of the people's sentiments and public opinions will bring about a new life of "all the way to the sun"
In the late autumn of October, the melting warm sun spreads down and illuminates the house. As long as there was time, Peng Yunfang, a villager in the Elephant Back Group in Xifu Village, Kaihui Town, walked out of his commissary and stood in front of the door basking in the sun and drinking tea, with a smile crawling all over his cheeks.
The transformation from a towering tree to a stump has brought an unprecedented happy life to the family.

"This tree has potential safety hazards for both residents and pedestrians..." A month ago, when the staff carried out the "road chief system" patrol, they passed the home of Peng Yunfang, a villager in the Elephant Back Group in Xifu Village, Kaihui Town, and looked at a "strange tree" less than 20 centimeters away from the villager's home for half a day.

As he thought, this "old stubbornness" has made the Peng Yunfang family "disappear" for many years. Branches of trees go over the roof, puncturing tiles and windows; roots stick out of the ground and pry up the floor; large areas of termites crawl into the house, and broken branches can hit passers-by and vehicles at any time... Hearing the various inconveniences reflected by the villagers, the staff and their party took up a public office on the spot: judging the hidden dangers of the road surface, clarifying the responsible departments, and distributing work orders together with the hidden dangers of the whole line.

As soon as the work order is issued, the department reports in. The Changsha County Transportation Bureau, as the responsible unit, conducted on-site investigation, made a design plan, and obtained the consent of the villagers. A few days later, a large truck drove into the group, sawed off the "old stubbornness" of decades in front of Peng Yunfang's door, uprooted the roots that exposed the ground, and completely cut off the troubles of the villagers for many years.
"The road chief is to 'walk' on the road to problems and 'walk' out of the people's feelings and public opinions." The relevant person in charge of the Changsha County Road Chief's Office said that the third-level road chief used the road patrol work to go to the masses, listen to the concerns of the masses, "receive orders" with one hand, and "dispatch orders" with the other hand, find the responsible person for each people's feelings and public opinions, and let the voices of the masses get a strong response.
Race out the most beautiful style and rejuvenate the new vitality of "catching up with learning"
Mountains and rivers are interdependent, Metasequoia is staggered, one scene per season, beautiful... This is people's description of the good third line of Jiangbei Town, galloping in the middle, giving people the feeling of "cars on the road, people swimming in the middle of the painting". With its super high appearance, the highway was selected as one of the "Most Beautiful Rural Roads" in Changsha County in 2021.
In the middle of summer this year, from online to offline, from tourism roads, landscape roads, industrial roads to Zhenxing Road, 12 town streets showed the road scenery in the "Most Beautiful Rural Roads" competition. After three rounds of assessment, the four highways of Jinjing, Chunhua, Jiangbei and Guoyuan Town stood out.

"Through the evaluation, we have seen the 'new' and the 'beauty', the momentum of transportation to promote rural development has been achieved, and the confidence in high-quality development has been more sufficient." The person in charge of the county road chief's office, the organizer of the event, said. In the past month, the expert jury has watched and discussed while walking, finding deficiencies in the landscape and finding gaps in management; each town street has shown full energy, cutting greenery, patrolling, adding greenery, and strengthening law enforcement, so that each road has taken on a new look.
Maintaining the beauty requires a lot of thought. In order to solve the conspicuous problems existing in the work of the "road chief system" in the whole county, in the second half of this year, the county road chief office formed a guidance group and rushed to 19 town streets to answer questions and answer questions in the development of the "road chief system" work in each town street through the combination of discussion and investigation and dynamic inspection.
With face-to-face guidance, road chiefs and highway specialists at all levels have gained an in-depth understanding of the relevant laws and regulations on the protection of road rights and the operation and use of the road chief system comprehensive information platform, which provides strong support for better quality, faster progress, finer disposal and more complete services for highway maintenance work in the future.
Achieve tangible results and create a safe and smooth new environment
On October 28, next to the Yinshan branch line of the Huangjiang Highway, construction workers poured cement into the ditch wall one after another, and used a flat shovel to pull the cement out of a straight line. "The cover of the road shoulder ditch is crushed by large trucks, forming a ten-meter-long pothole, and only by clearing it in time can the road be safely passed." Zhou Tieqiao, a staff member of the Huanghua area of the Changsha County Transportation Bureau, said.

Get up at 6 o'clock, prepare tools and check vehicles at 7 o'clock, and go to the front line of work at 8 o'clock... Dealing with dust and dirt every day, cold wind, hot sun, and heavy rain, this is the daily life of Zhou Tieqiao, and it is also the epitome of the work of countless "traffic people".
"Our bureau has formed a mechanism for dealing with hidden dangers on highways and achieved 'acting at the behest of orders.'" Zhou Tieqiao introduced that the hidden dangers of rural roads in the county are mainly discovered through the three channels of "road chief system" distribution of work orders, mass reflection, and independent inspection, and then through the investigation, design, construction, acceptance of the four processes, to ensure that each hidden danger is changed in place, changed to the standard, to solve the problem of mass travel.
"Good construction is the foundation, good management and protection is the guarantee, and good operation is the goal." The person in charge of the county road chief's office said that in recent years, Changsha County has carried out actions such as road quality improvement and transformation, greening and beautification improvement, safety and life protection projects, and the construction of "four good rural roads" in the county to comprehensively improve the capacity of highways. Based on the "14th Five-Year Plan", the office will continue to coordinate and coordinate the "road chief system" work, continuously improve the modernization and refinement level of highway maintenance, create more "safe and comfortable" road environment, and help Changsha County develop with high quality.
