The south exit of Zhengyi Road is the intersection of Zhengyi Road and Qianmen East Street, where the surrounding government agencies, residential areas and schools gather. Now, after the Dongcheng Traffic Detachment has carried out special management of the traffic order and environment at the intersection, not only the road has become smooth, but the safety of pedestrians has also been greatly guaranteed.
At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the reporter saw at the south exit of Zhengyi Road that the intersection near the evening rush hour had a large flow of people and vehicles but was orderly. "There are originally two motor lanes from the north to the south of the south exit of Zhengyi Road, one is a right-turn lane, and the other is a straight-ahead left-turn shared road." Zhang Ran, deputy captain of the Qianmen Brigade of the Dongcheng Traffic Detachment, introduced that the intersection is close to Tiananmen Square and East Chang'an Street, the traffic flow is large, and the peak and peak show tidal differences, with an average of 534 vehicles per hour from north to south during peak hours, and up to 700 vehicles per hour during peak hours. Through observation, the traffic police found that during the rush hour, especially in the evening rush hour, this right-turn lane is often without vehicles, and the left-turn lane with a straight lane is congested for more than 200 meters due to the long queue.
In view of this unbalanced situation, the traffic management department has adjusted the road traffic conditions of the two lanes, adjusted the outer lane to the right-turn lane with a straight lane, and adjusted the inner lane to the left-turn lane, so that the traffic of motor vehicles is relatively balanced, and the purpose of alleviating traffic congestion has been achieved.
Ms. Shi, who lives in No. 32 Dongjiaomin Lane, said that in the past, you had to wait in line for three or four red lights when driving through this intersection, but now basically one or two lights have passed, and the effect is really obvious.
Crossing the line, going against the road...... The reporter saw at the scene that there are still individual cyclists who fail to consciously abide by traffic laws, "in order to keep road traffic safe and smooth, it is not enough to rely on limited police force, and every traveler is also needed to improve the quality of civilized travel and law-abiding awareness." Zhang Ran said that after more than a year of law enforcement and publicity and education measures to combine law enforcement and publicity and education on zebra crossings, the rate of motor vehicle courtesy at intersections has increased significantly. Through the interception and education of illegal drivers, many drivers can quickly realize that their illegal behavior has great safety risks and can be corrected. Now the traffic order at the intersection and the courtesy to pedestrians have been greatly improved, and basically drivers can have this awareness. The Qianmen Brigade arranges two policemen and four assistant managers to be on duty at the intersection during the morning and evening rush hours every day to investigate and deal with illegal acts. Through a period of strict management, traffic violations at this intersection have been significantly reduced.
"In the past, cars and electric bicycles competed with each other during peak hours; Pedestrians cross the road in cars and e-bikes to save time. Li Jianxin, a traffic coordinator who has been on duty at the Zhengyi Road intersection for more than three years, said that everyone's safety awareness has been improved, and vehicles consciously slow down and give way to pedestrians before they reach the zebra crossing.
It is understood that this year, the Dongcheng Traffic Detachment will carry out special treatment of 15 intersections such as Guangqumen intersection, Dongdan three east exits, and Shazikou, so as to further improve the traffic efficiency of the intersections.
