"Your **** brand car did not slow down in advance in accordance with the law in front of the zebra crossing at the intersection of Baijiawang Village, Zhang'an Street, Jiaojiang District, Provincial Highway, jiaojiang District, and there are certain safety hazards." On the morning of October 28, Mr. Feng of Henan Province received a reminder text message from Taizhou Public Security while driving. Just this week, the Taizhou traffic police independently designed and developed the zebra crossing motor vehicle deceleration prompt system on the line test, hoping that through this move, the "zebra crossing before the deceleration concession" civilization wind blows to the suburban junction and the national and provincial highways.
According to the data, in 2018, Taizhou city investigated and dealt with 120,000 uncommanded zebra crossings, 114,000 vehicles in 2019, and reduced to 104,000 in 2020.
"After several years of unremitting efforts and the continuous improvement of the civilized quality of the general public, the driving habit of 'giving way to pedestrians before the zebra crossing' has taken root in Taizhou." Xu Changyou, captain of the order brigade of the Traffic Police Bureau of the Taizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, told reporters that in the suburban junction where vehicles from other places are densely packed and near the national and provincial highways, it is difficult to advance the "courtesy of pedestrians in front of the zebra crossing".
There are many large cars on the national and provincial roads, and once there is a situation where "small cars stop to give way to pedestrians, and large cars roar behind" the consequences are unimaginable. How to let the masses cross the road with peace of mind has become the heart of the Taizhou traffic police.
To this end, the Taizhou traffic police and technology companies jointly developed a zebra crossing motor vehicle deceleration prompt system. This system monitors the vehicles on the road in real time, captures the vehicles that have not slowed down before the zebra crossing through the algorithm, and sends prompt SMS in real time.
The reminder TEXT message is divided into three situations, warning vehicles with a speed of more than 40 km / h, reminding vehicles with a speed of more than 25 km / h, and praising vehicles with a speed of less than 25 km / h.
Xu Changyou said that according to the current regulations, once the vehicle of "pedestrians who did not give way before the zebra crossing" was captured, it was fined 100 yuan and 3 points. "Fines are a means, not an end. We explore the possibility of flexible enforcement and will promote it throughout the city if the Zebra Crossing Motor Vehicle Deceleration Alert System test is successful. ”
