Red light can't blame the pedestrians for revealing the distribution of road rights

To eradicate the phenomenon of “Chinese style crossing the road”, while strengthening education guidance, raising public awareness and awareness of rules, it is also necessary to improve urban management and scientifically set signal lights.

Recently, a word popular on the Internet is called "Chinese style crossing," which means that Chinese people don't look at the traffic lights when they cross the road. "You can leave enough people for a walk." Indeed, in some major cities, the phenomenon of pedestrians clamoring with red lights is very common. Some downtown intersections are crowded with people and vehicles and are extremely crowded and dangerous.

There is no doubt that "Chinese style crossing the road" is a psychological reflection of the fact that law does not condemn people. In the fast pace of modern city life, some people lack safety awareness, impetuous attitudes, and cannot wait before the red light. You are in a hurry, I am anxious, and he is more anxious. Once a group effect is formed, the original traffic concept of “red light stop, green light line” and queuing and order keeping will be thrown aside. Crossing the road will lead you forward and grab the lights to grab it. Road.

However, in analysing the crux of the red light, the public is accused of not having high quality and pedestrians are unreasonable. They did not see the whole problem. Pedestrians are also involved in red lights, and are also closely related to the unscientific urban transport planning, the short green time, and the unbalanced relationship between people and vehicles. The red light, in a sense, is also a kind of "helpless" move.

Today, it is an indisputable fact that big cities are somewhat biased towards motor vehicles in the setting of traffic lights. One obvious rule is that when the red light is on, allowing the motor vehicle to turn right, this will inevitably conflict with pedestrians. In some cities, when the green light is on the sidewalk, sometimes the green light of the left-turn lane will also light up at the same time. Pedestrians will go to the middle of the road, and they will turn into a “crossroad” with the left-turn vehicle.

Not only that, in the green time limit, the green light of the dealerships is generally longer than the pedestrian green light. Even if the traffic lights can separate pedestrians and vehicles, due to the short pedestrian green time, the wider the roads in the city are, the wider the roads are. Many old people and children, even if they jog and jog, can't cross the road with a green light. Once there is no safe island in the middle of the road, they will fall into the embarrassing situation of “no red light, nowhere to go”.

Therefore, behind the appearance of “Chinese style crossing the road”, it reflects the deep-seated contradiction between pedestrians and the distribution of motorway rights. To eradicate the chaos of “Chinese style crossing the road”, while strengthening education guidance, raising public awareness and awareness of rules, it is also necessary to improve urban management and fully protect pedestrian rights.

According to reports, in developed countries, the right of pedestrians at the crossroads is higher than that of motor vehicles. As long as the pedestrian gives a clear gesture or crosses a foot into the crosswalk to express the intention to pass, the motor vehicle will stop and let the waiting pedestrian pass. China's traffic management must also guide motor vehicle drivers to learn the driving awareness of developed countries. Only people and vehicles can give way to each other to provide preconditions for orderly traffic.

In fact, compared with foreign countries, the tolerance of Chinese people is not low. Not long ago, a media investigation revealed that the patience of the Chinese red lights was 90 seconds, while the Germans were 60 seconds and the British only 45 seconds. In the design of the traffic lights, the traffic department must adhere to the principle of people-orientation, adhere to the characteristics of China’s cities, the characteristics of roads, and the psychological characteristics of people, fully respect the needs of pedestrians, scientifically set up traffic signals, and reasonably organize transportation elements. With the gradual realization of these humanized measures and facilities, supplemented with necessary management measures, the Chinese people may not be really “uncivilized” by crossing the road. The traffic order at Chinese city intersections may not be so bad.
