In recent years, the problem of urban traffic congestion has become increasingly prominent. In order to effectively alleviate this problem and improve the efficiency of intersection traffic, many places have successively introduced new measures to reduce the traffic contradiction between vehicles and pedestrians.
Method one
"Non-motor vehicle lane stop line moves backward" measure
In order to standardize the traffic order of non-motor vehicles at intersections and reduce the risk of traffic accidents,The traffic control department of Beijing public security has piloted the management measures of non-motor vehicle stopping line moving backwards in the whole city.Specifically, according to the size of the intersection, the stop line of the non-motor vehicle lane is moved back 3 to 5 meters, a parking buffer area is set up, and the yellow grid line indicating no parking and the prompt text "Stop the car without crossing the line" are added simultaneously.
At present, more than 130 intersections in Beijing have completed such transformation.
At the same time, Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province has also optimized the stop lines of 52 intersections with large traffic and key areas in the city, and adopted the step-by-step move of the stop lines. Compared with the parallel backward movement of each lane, the stepped backward movement makes the stop line of the outer lane move backward more and the distance from the stop line to the crosswalk longer.
Method 2
"Alternate traffic" rule
This is a picture taken in the morning rush hour at the Shangqiao ramp of Wuning Road on the inner ring of Shanghai. Although the traffic volume is high and the speed is relatively slow, there is no serious congestion. In the area where the lanes are reduced, almost no vehicles are interspersed with traffic jams, but they alternate in turn.
The reporter came to the off-site law enforcement detachment of the Shanghai Traffic Police Corps. From the video of public places, it can be seen that most vehicles can consciously abide by the principle of "alternate traffic" in some sections where the traffic flow is reduced.
In Shanghai, the alternate traffic mode is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The number of illegal penalties for motor vehicles not passing alternately according to the regulations has dropped significantly, the traffic efficiency has been greatly improved, and the number of accidents caused by motor vehicles grabbing traffic has also been declining.
Method 3
On-line new channel pilot multi-vehicle synchronous U-turn
This is an intersection located in Shapingba District, Chongqing. Different from ordinary intersections, after the traffic indicator lights up, the leftmost queue of vehicles can turn around at the same time. At present, this measure has been successfully implemented at many intersections such as Chongqing and Wuhan.
Chen Shan, a policeman of the Order Squadron of the Traffic Brigade of Wuchang District, Wuhan:Through a new measure of multi-vehicle parallel U-turn, the traffic efficiency of U-turn vehicles at our intersection is improved, and the influence of U-turn vehicles on straight and right-turn vehicles is also reduced.
Judging from the current situation, since the implementation of the new measures, it has been recognized by most drivers. However, the police suggested that the key to realizing "multi-car series U-turn" is to ensure that the front car cannot stop the rear car from entering the U-turn parking space.
The police reminded that the front car needs to drive into the front U-turn parking space to make a U-turn, leaving the rear U-turn parking space for the rear car to ensure that more vehicles can pass at the same time.
