[Tianyan asks for politics] Is the signal light a "decoration"? There are vehicles running against the lights on this road


Recently, a citizen reported to the column of "Tianyan Asking for Politics" that the traffic signal lights on Jinhu Road, Guanshanhu District, Guiyang City have become "decorations". Many private cars ignore the traffic rules, go against them and run red lights at will.


On the afternoon of March 8, Ms. Shen, a citizen, drove past the intersection of the Pru International Youth Sports Training Center on Jinhu Road. While she was waiting for the red light, two private cars passed directly by. When she wondered, the cars behind ran one by one, ignoring the traffic lights on the road.


"I was almost hit once." Mr. Xiao, a citizen, said that a few days ago when he was driving normally at the green light of the road section, a car suddenly came from the opposite side. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise the two cars would definitely collide.


As for the situation reported by the citizens, at about 17:00 on the same day, the reporter came to the intersection of the section of the Puri International Youth Sports Training Center, Jinhu Road, Guanshanhu District to learn about the situation.

The two cars choose to travel backward.


The reporter found that the road was equipped with traffic lights, and the ground was also marked with lanes, driving arrows and zebra crossings, but no monitoring probe was seen. During the close school hours of Preh School, some vehicles ignored the traffic rules and directly drove back across the road to the school.


The reporter also found that even though the traffic lights at the intersection turned red, some drivers ran through the lights directly.

Some vehicles run the red light.


The reporter walked about three or four hundred meters to another intersection. There are also traffic lights and no monitoring probes. Many vehicles ignore the red light and pass directly, even the trucks pulling muck. They just rush forward at a slow speed.


"These cars run the red light, even if they walk on the zebra crossing, they are frightened." Nearby residents lament that they have to keep looking around every time they cross the street, for fear of being hit by vehicles.


"It's clearly a red light, can you drive freely because there is no monitoring probe? How can you drive to pick up the doll when you are not a good example?" Ms. Song, a citizen, said: "I hope the relevant departments will strengthen the supervision of this road section, so that the vehicles running the red light and going against the traffic will be punished. Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be an accident."


On the morning of March 13, the reporter reported to the Guanshanhu District Branch of Guiyang Public Security Traffic Management Bureau (the eighth traffic police team) about the frequent disorderly traffic in the section of Jinhu Road Purui International Youth Sports Training Center. The connection police said that the road section will be open to traffic at the end of 2023, and the road has not been installed with monitoring probes, so they will feed back to the relevant departments to try to improve the road traffic facilities as soon as possible.
