With the continuous increase of domestic car ownership, the traffic situation is becoming more and more complicated, and the traffic regulations and transportation facilities in the mainland are also more comprehensive. Traffic lights are signal lights that indicate the passage of vehicles and pedestrians, and are one of the most important traffic signs, many car owners may not have noticed, and unconsciously the traffic lights on the mainland have also been updated.
In the past, domestic traffic lights adopted a countdown design, some traffic lights with a second reading design throughout the whole process, and some traffic lights counted down to 10 seconds before the countdown began. Both of the above traffic lights have clear second readings and countdowns, and the owner can prejudge according to the remaining time of the traffic lights.
In 2021, some cities on the mainland replaced the new national standard traffic lights, and the biggest change in this traffic light is the cancellation of the countdown design. In 2022, more cities in the mainland will gradually be replaced by new national standard traffic lights, and car owners are full of complaints, believing that the new traffic lights are not shallow, and it is better to change back to the past.
The first change of the new traffic light is to cancel the countdown design, and the relevant departments cancel the countdown on the traffic light in order to control the speed of the vehicle when passing the intersection and avoid the acceleration of the vehicle at the end of the countdown.
However, the owner of the car has a great opinion on this design, Shandong car owner Mr. Liu said that the new traffic light was replaced by three days he ran the red light twice, was deducted 12 points, and now needs to re-learn subject one. The design of the traffic light cancellation countdown is not convenient for passers-by and car owners to prejudge, and it is better to change back to the past.
The countdown design of traffic lights mainly has the following advantages:
First, soothe the emotions of pedestrians and car owners.
Pedestrians and drivers are more irritable when waiting for the red light, there is a countdown design on the traffic light, everyone can judge the time when the green light is lit by the countdown, and the driver and passers-by will not be in a hurry.
Second, reduce the fluke psychology of drivers and passers-by.
Traffic lights show countdown numbers, and passers-by can stop early when they see that the countdown is about to end. If the traffic lights cancel the countdown design, many drivers may have a fluke mentality and suddenly accelerate when passing through the intersection.
Third, reduce the probability of violations.
When the green light is about to end, the owner can take the initiative to slow down and avoid running a red light. If the countdown is canceled, the driver does not know when the red light will come on, and it is likely that he will run the red light unconsciously.
Fourth, speed up the start time.
After the traffic light is added to the countdown design, the owner can observe the green light for a few seconds to light up, and when the green light is about to turn on, the driver can hang up the d gear in advance to release the handbrake, saving the starting time.
What do you think of the new national standard traffic lights?
At present, the new national standard traffic light popularized in China has a total of three panels, and everyone only needs to remember to look at the middle panel when going straight, the red light stops, and the green light line. Turn right when the red light stops and the green light line.
When you turn left, the red light stops, the green light line, the left turn light does not turn on when the straight light, the green light can go straight, the red light is not on and cannot go.
Editor's Comments:
The new national standard traffic light has a total of three panels, how to go? Not only look at the signal lights that turn left and right, but also see if the lights in the middle are on. Many old drivers who have driven cars for more than ten years have been blinded by the new national standard traffic lights and do not know how to go.
Many car owners complained that the new national standard traffic lights look complicated and difficult to understand, and also canceled the countdown design, which is not practical at all, what do you think?
