Traffic civilization starts with me.
In our modern society, the urban road is not only a passage for people and things to move, but also a testing ground to reflect the civilization of a country or region.
Many countries attach great importance to traffic safety education. Children have received traffic knowledge education since childhood, and everyone travels in strict accordance with traffic regulations. For example, in Germany, traffic management departments often organize preschool children to hold traffic knowledge competitions. On the streets of Germany, the most striking thing is the traffic lights in the streets. The traffic lights at big intersections are automatic devices, and traffic signs at small and medium intersections indicate whether to go first or later. In schools, kindergartens or areas where children are concentrated, signs will be printed with children's patterns to remind drivers to pay attention. In Japan, traffic lights are installed at road intersections in both towns and rural areas. In a busy block, when the red light is on at the intersection, even if there are no vehicles on the road, pedestrians on the roadside will not wait for the red light to cross the road. Sweden's traffic rules are also people-oriented, with pedestrians giving priority. The traffic lights on the road are two meters away from the ground, which is the same height as the eyes of pedestrians. No billboards or trees are allowed around to avoid blocking the traffic lights.
Although China also attaches great importance to traffic safety and traffic civilization, compared with other countries, it is far from enough. Every day, the roads are full of pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles that don't obey the traffic rules. For example, non-motor vehicles cross the line at a red light, the lane is retrograde, and people are illegally carried. Pedestrians do not walk on the sidewalk, arbitrarily cross the guardrail and jaywalk. Sometimes, when crossing the road, you will often see pedestrians ignoring the signal light at the red light, or when the car is green, use the time difference at the intersection to ignore the pedestrians crossing the road and speed up driving. It's worse when there is no signal light. China's traffic laws and regulations clearly stipulate: "When vehicles pass through crosswalks, they must stop or slow down when traffic signals let pedestrians pass;" When crossing a crosswalk without signal light control, you must pay attention to avoid pedestrians. "In real life, intersections with traffic signals are better, and intersections without traffic signals are simply a chaotic scene, with heavy traffic and intransigence. In our modern society, it is a part of traffic civilization that vehicles drive according to law and pedestrians walk according to law. In addition, traffic police management according to law and civilized law enforcement are another part of traffic civilization. Only when these two parts are displayed on the road at the same time can a complete traffic civilization be formed.
In order to strengthen the construction of road traffic safety order in Chaoyang District and improve the quality of people's traffic civilization, Chaoyang District put forward "four understandings" and "four concessions" for the improvement of traffic safety order in Chaoyang District. The four understandings are: understanding the theme, that is, welcoming the Olympic Games, building the first goodness and creating a harmonious traffic environment; The second is to know the content, that is, to punish the illegal acts of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles; Three goals, that is, cars don't cross the line, people don't wear them indiscriminately, go their own way and be orderly; Four knowledge norms, namely, exercise norms, parking norms, facilities norms and occupation norms. The four concessions are: people give way to warmth, people give way to order, cars give way to safety and cars give way to understanding. I think the purpose of making traffic safety order and rectifying "four understandings" and "four concessions" is to improve everyone's traffic safety awareness and traffic civilization quality, thus reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Of course, the cultivation of traffic civilization habits and quality should start from everyone, especially as a pedestrian in a weak position, which should be paid more attention to. According to the statistics of Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, in 2003, there were 90 pedestrian accidents in Beijing, with 2 18 deaths. From June 2004 to July 2005, there were 842 pedestrian traffic accidents in Beijing, with 200 deaths and 703 injuries, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 7.26 million yuan. Property losses can be quantified, but the cost of life cannot be calculated.
Therefore, only when the whole society takes action, people-oriented, starting from me, and strengthening the awareness education of "traffic civilization" can we really improve, realize the rectification of traffic safety order "four knowledge" and "four concessions" of traffic civilization, and truly realize a harmonious traffic environment.

Traffic courtesy starts with me.
With the development of society and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, cars have become an inseparable part of people's daily life. While enjoying the convenience it brings to our lives every day, all kinds of traffic jams and traffic accidents are constantly bothering people and even paying a painful price.
When the bus pulls into the station, especially during the rush hour, people flock to it. Motorists ignore traffic lights, pedestrians regard zebra crossings as decorative lines, and it is not uncommon for motor vehicles to retrograde, overspeed and pedestrians to cross the guardrail in the middle of the road. They ignore their own lives and laws and completely deviate from civilization.
In the Xiaocunqiao area of the South Fourth Ring Road, when there are traffic assistants during the day, the traffic is basically smooth. After eight o'clock in the evening, as soon as the coordinator gets off work, the road is blocked immediately, often at eleven o'clock in the evening, and several lanes are not visible at all. In short, it is chaos. What does this mean? It goes without saying.
Pedestrians and vehicles go their own way. Without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang. Vehicles drive according to law and pedestrians walk according to law, which is undoubtedly a part of traffic civilization; Traffic police management according to law and civilized law enforcement are another part of traffic civilization. Only when these two parts are displayed on the road at the same time can a complete traffic civilization be formed.
For a long time, motor vehicle violations have become the main object of correction, while non-motor vehicle and pedestrian violations have been ignored because of the difficulty in law enforcement. The rules are discounted, so the violations of non-motor vehicles and pedestrians are getting worse, which in turn stimulates the psychological imbalance of motor vehicle drivers and forms a vicious circle of "why do pedestrians violate the rules?"
Most people who come back from developed countries will think that people there especially abide by traffic rules. No matter late at night or in the outer suburbs, even if there is no police, as long as there are traffic lights, people will act according to the "lights" very consciously. At the bus station, people, regardless of age, queue up to get on the bus in a very orderly way. In our place, it seems common for vehicles to run red lights, and even under the nose of the police, pedestrians will swagger across the road. Buses are crowded, which is quite common.
As another part of traffic civilization, civilized law enforcement should also be reflected in this activity. When a motor vehicle violator receives a notice of violation, he feels not only the majesty of the law, but also the goodwill reminded by law enforcers. For pedestrians and non-motor vehicles who violate the rules, even if it is only a simple punishment, it may take more energy than correcting motor vehicle violations, but it is still necessary to show respect to the offenders.
Why do people lack traffic civilization? Fundamentally speaking, it is the lack of respect between people. People who appear on the road are basically strangers, and acquaintances often show due tolerance, understanding and civilization. Among acquaintances, moral self-discipline often tends to restrain people's behavior until it becomes a kind of consciousness. Between strangers, when moral restraint has not become a kind of consciousness, rules should play a role in time.
The road in modern cities is not only a passage for people and things to move, but also a testing ground for civilization. Only by paying equal attention to morality and rules, efficiency and fairness can we reflect the real traffic civilization.
In addition, Beijing will host the 29th International Olympic Games in 2008. The Beijing Municipal Government solemnly promises to the world that it will successfully hold a "distinctive and high-level" Olympic Games. By then, hundreds of thousands of Olympic athletes and international friends from all over the world will gather in Beijing, and the ancient capital with a thousand-year civilization will be presented to the world with a brand-new look of a modern international metropolis. Now, the 2008 Olympic Games is approaching, and all preparations are in full swing. People all over the world, the whole country and the citizens of the capital are eagerly looking forward to this historic moment.
Beijing, the capital, is the national political, cultural and international exchange center. The task of the Olympic Games has been entrusted to Beijing, and the people of the whole country have high hopes for every citizen in the capital. The mission is glorious and the responsibility is great. As an important part of the Olympic environment, Beijing's road traffic environment represents the city image of the capital and embodies the civilized quality of the citizens of the capital. It is an important guarantee for the successful hosting of the Olympic Games and has attracted worldwide attention. Good Olympic traffic order will have a great and far-reaching impact on enhancing the international image of Beijing and even the Chinese nation.
I sincerely hope that every traffic participant can further enhance Olympic traffic awareness, capital image awareness, traffic safety awareness and traffic regulations awareness, and start from me to create a harmonious traffic order environment in the capital; In order to maintain the image of a civilized city in the capital, start with me; For the success of the Olympic Games, start with me; In order to establish the first good capital, start with me. From the beginning of every trip, strictly abide by traffic laws and regulations, consciously regulate traffic behavior, and harmonious society, so as to enjoy our fast and convenient life.
