During the winter vacation, I participated in the social practice activities organized by the student union of our school, and stood on the road with the police, making my own contribution to maintaining urban traffic. Although the six-day activities made me feel very tired and hard, I exercised myself and learned a lot that I couldn't learn in class. Through many days of standing guard, I have some experience on urban traffic and the construction of urban spiritual civilization.

In recent years, Shanghai's urban construction has developed rapidly, and road traffic hardware facilities have been significantly improved. Traffic violations, such as pedestrians jaywalking, riding bicycles beyond the stop line, riding bicycles through red lights, illegally changing lanes of motor vehicles, and parking, are also repeatedly prohibited, which is extremely disproportionate to Shanghai's image as an international metropolis. Traffic accidents caused by uncivilized traffic behavior remain high. In the first quarter of this year alone, 65,438+008 people in this city were killed because of jaywalking and other violations against pedestrians and non-motor vehicles.

Urban traffic problems have aroused great concern from people from all walks of life. Chen Liangyu, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, pointed out at this year's Shanghai Urban Traffic Symposium that civilized traffic behavior is an important part of "Shanghai Urban Spirit". The traffic control department proposed that traffic should be governed by the rule of law, management and punishment should be strengthened, and illegal acts in "three verticals and three horizontals" main roads, 33 civilized demonstration mark areas and suburban towns should be gradually eliminated, so as to obviously ease traffic nodes and improve traffic order.

Creating a good, smooth and efficient traffic environment is the common aspiration of the general public. The visiting delegation of Shanghai citizens' spiritual civilization construction wrote to hope that the Municipal Civilization Office would convey their initiative: all citizens should take active actions, respond to the call of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, start from me, start from small things, walk and drive in a civilized way, abide by traffic laws and regulations, consciously bid farewell to bad habits, actively participate in "walking with civilization" activities, constantly improve their own traffic civilization quality, and do their part to solve the urban traffic congestion problem.

From the letters and calls from many citizens, it can be seen that some citizens have uncivilized phenomena in their traffic behavior, such as "pedestrians jaywalking", "bicycles running red lights", "subways and buses going up and down indiscriminately" and "taxis parking indiscriminately". Letters and calls pointed out that the existence of these phenomena aggravated traffic congestion and damaged the image of Shanghai. They called for the rapid change of these uncivilized phenomena among some citizens.

Chen Liangyu, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and mayor, recently pointed out that Shanghainese should be lovely Shanghainese, Shanghainese who can embody Shanghai's advanced culture, Shanghainese who can embody the internationalization, informationization, marketization and rule of law of the city, and Shanghainese who can reflect the image of Shanghai as a modern international metropolis.

* * * On the basis of advocating the "seven noes", members of the Shanghai Youth League Committee and the Municipal Youth Federation put forward the "seven essentials" this time: respect everyone, act according to the rules, do everything with all your heart, do what you say, treat others with a smile, learn to be frugal, and always be ready to help others.

If "seven noes" are the basic quality requirements of a citizen, then obviously "seven essentials" have further improved the level and level of urban spiritual civilization construction. Committee members believe that Shanghai is the country's Shanghai and an open and increasingly international city. Many rules and regulations and established rules have been formed in modern civilized society, such as observing traffic rules, not parking and jaywalking at will, not making any noise in public places, standing on the right side of the escalator, keeping a distance of 1 m between banks and post offices, and not littering. Everyone in Shanghai should.
