Shanghai police hand over traffic safety "eye-catching" report card: the number of accident deaths decreased by 28.2% compared with the previous three years.

  Zhongxin. com Shanghai News, January 17th (Li Shuzheng, Zhang Xi) "I always put two helmets on this battery car, one for myself and one for my grandson." Talking about the changes in traffic last year, Lao Liu pointed to the safety helmet on his head and said, "I used to feel that I was always reluctant to wear it. Last year, I legislated to wear it every day to pick up and drop off my children. Once I got used to it, I really lacked security!" According to statistics, since the "Regulations on the Safety Management of Non-motor Vehicles in Shanghai" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") was officially implemented in May last year, the wearing rate of electric bicycle riders in Shanghai has increased to 93%.

  In addition to "one helmet and one belt", large trucks "turn right and stop" and special number plates for express delivery … Over the past year, these traffic management terms have come into public view from time to time. In 2021, Shanghai police adhered to the concept of "people’s cities for the people", carefully sorted out more than 100 opinions and suggestions from municipal people’s congress deputies and CPPCC members, and continuously optimized the level of urban road traffic management and government service with "embroidery kung fu", taking a solid step towards a "more orderly, safer and cleaner" road traffic environment.

  Life is paramount, and there were no traffic accidents in which more than three people died in the whole year.

  "Now it has become a habit to drive’ turn right and stop’. Even at the intersection where there is no stop sign, when you turn, you will see the eye-catching’ turn right and stop’ sticker next to you, and you will unconsciously step on the brake." According to Xiao Zhang, the driver of the big truck, in order to make the big truck "turn right and stop", in addition to overwhelming publicity and electronic police investigation, the police also designed many small details to make the "stop" action a subconscious habit.

  At present, through video inspection and evaluation, the implementation rate of "turning right and stopping" for large trucks in the city has reached nearly 90%. Since the full implementation of this measure in August, the accident of large-scale vehicles turning right to "Bao jiaozi" in the city has decreased by 57.9% year-on-year.

  At the same time, in order to urge freight enterprises to implement the main responsibility of traffic safety, the public security traffic police department has further expanded the scope of in-depth investigation of road traffic accidents and seriously investigated the legal responsibilities of enterprises and responsible personnel according to law. During the year, 63 in-depth investigations of major accidents were carried out, 24 responsible persons of enterprises involved were punished with administrative fines, enterprises were ordered to suspend business for rectification for 36 times, and 25 responsible persons of enterprises involved were taken criminal compulsory measures on suspicion of major accidents.

  In addition to the right turn of large trucks, non-motor vehicle violations such as retrograde and running red lights are also important causes of traffic accidents. "It is necessary to further standardize the management of electric bicycles, especially to strengthen the supervision of the express delivery industry." This is a proposal made by Li Zhen, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, Hong Liang, a member of the CPPCC, and many other NPC deputies and CPPCC members.

  After promoting the implementation of the Regulations, the Shanghai police organized special rectification at high frequency in accordance with the rectification mode of "all-police linkage" to further investigate and strictly control all kinds of non-motor vehicle traffic violations. In view of the express delivery industry, the "special number plate" was completely replaced at the end of the year, and the relevant illegal acts were accurately identified by using "RFID radio frequency technology", and a benign control mechanism of illegal record transfer and platform restriction was established to vigorously reverse the high incidence of traffic violations by riders.        

  Last year, the Shanghai police carried out a "dragnet" dynamic investigation of hidden dangers around the five dimensions of "people, cars, roads, enterprises and time periods", and found out the "grey rhinoceros" that induced traffic accidents through the way of "technology+manpower", and solved them one by one and made breakthroughs one by one to minimize the occurrence of road traffic accidents. Last year, the number of people killed in traffic accidents in Shanghai decreased by 28.2% compared with the average in the past three years, making it the only province in China that did not have a road traffic accident with more than three deaths.

  Intensive cultivation, assisted by science and technology, transformed more than 50 congested nodes during the year.

  Recently, Mr. Li, a citizen who lives in Huajing, found that when he came down from Longwu Road on the outer ring road, he didn’t know when there seemed to be an extra lane. "In the past, there was usually a long queue when you turned right and went home, and it was smooth at once!" What Mr. Li didn’t know was that it also benefited from a suggestion from the NPC deputies.

  In May last year, Xue Yuan, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, put forward a proposal to add a right-turn lane at the lower ramp crossing of Longwu Road on the outer ring road from west to east. The public security traffic police department made a serious study on this, and invited Xue Yuan to visit the site. In the case that the optimized traffic organization could not meet the traffic demand, he applied to the Municipal Transportation Commission for a project to widen the road and add lanes, which was completed at the end of August, completely solving the problem of "difficulty in turning right" at this intersection.

  Intensive cultivation has always been the key word of Shanghai police traffic management. According to the standard of "the traffic lights are adjusted every second, and the traffic organization is improved one by one", the public security traffic police department timely collects and analyzes the congestion problems reflected by the suggestions of the National People’s Congress, the CPPCC proposal, the 12345 citizen hotline and the frontline police, and conducts research and judgment one by one, and normally carries out the rolling arrangement of congestion nodes, optimizes the traffic organization according to local conditions, and improves the traffic efficiency of the road network.

  By setting up variable lanes, straight waiting areas, left-turn waiting areas, one-way streets and channelization of intersections, more than 50 congested nodes such as Caobao Road (Guiguo Road-Guilin Road) in Xuhui District, Tianyaoqiao Road (Lingling Road-Zhongshan South Second Road) and Zhongshan North Second Road (siping road-Zhengben Road) in Yangpu District were reconstructed and 11 roads were restored during the year. By optimizing the traffic signal timing, the traffic congestion status of high-speed roads or trunk roads such as Zhenbei Road Turntable, Outer Ring Road S5 Interchange and Central Ring Road Guohe Road Ramp was effectively alleviated, and more than 40 traffic congestion nodes were improved during the year.

  While refining the road traffic organization, law enforcement management is also embroidering new colors with the help of science and technology.

  Ms. Wang, a citizen, said that she recently received a message from the "Shanghai Traffic Police" informing her that she did not turn on the lights when driving at night. "I thought I received a ticket. After reading it carefully, I found that it was just a safety reminder. I didn’t punish it. I immediately felt very warm in my heart. Our safety was silently guarded."

  This is the function of "SMS safety tips without driving lights at night" launched by Shanghai traffic police in July last year, which relies on scientific and technological means to improve the public’s awareness of safe driving and effectively eliminate potential safety hazards.

  Relying on the empowerment of "smart public security", the modes and means of off-site investigation and punishment of traffic violations are constantly expanding. The police also explore the development of new equipment such as portable "low-light electronic police" powered by solar energy and "dull" electronic police that completely eliminates light pollution, and continuously improve the efficiency of law enforcement. At the same time, "hidden" violations such as unqualified driving, license-related, illegal operation, etc., also achieve dynamic identification and precise strike under the "golden eye" of big data.

  Simplify the process, provide intimate service, and realize the "channel" new car licensing within one hour.

  "I didn’t expect that the last card is so fast now, one channel is completely solved, and even the documents are made in one hour!" Mr. Wu, who just got a good card for the new car, said, "It took me a whole half-day to get a car card for myself a few years ago!"

  In order to solve the problem of long queues for new cars, the Shanghai police took the initiative to introduce the convenience measure of "full APPointment for new cars", put service resources into the "One Network Office" platform and the "Shanghai Traffic Police" app, and implement the full-model appointment for small cars, motorcycles and large cars step by step, so as to realize that when the peak is wrong, the licensing will become disorderly and orderly. In the whole year, more than 140,000 booking applications were processed, and the peak business processing time was shortened from 4 hours to 1 hour, which greatly optimized the experience of the masses.

  Last year, in combination with deepening the reform of the municipal government’s "One Network Office" and the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" for public security traffic control, the Shanghai police continued to promote the local, online and convenient operation of public security traffic control business, and successively piloted 12 new measures to facilitate the people and optimize the contents and procedures of driving license examination, and actively promoted the electronic reform of driving licenses, with more than 500,000 related businesses accumulated during the year.

  Business is convenient and service is more "intimate". The vehicle management department has implemented "aging-friendly" services such as the green channel for the elderly, offline warm escort, and optimization of online agency, and implemented measures such as facilitating the renewal of driver’s licenses for retired military personnel, postponing the renewal of driver’s licenses for people going abroad, and installing a prompt screen for the hearing-impaired subjects to make the traffic control service more temperature-sensitive.

  In addition, the Shanghai police also deeply focused on the popular project of "comprehensive management of parking difficulties", adding 21 parking spots and 541 berths for motor vehicles in old communities, hospitals, schools and commercial gathering areas, and actively implementing the practical project of "setting up 100 taxi waiting stations", focusing on fully implementing 121 taxi waiting stations in hospitals, business districts, houses, parks, venues and other areas with strong taxi demand, so as to alleviate the taxi boarding.
