8 scalpers have been detained, resulting in a 13.8% reduction in traffic accident fatalities. Shanghai police have shown remarkable results in summer rectification
Since the beginning of summer, Shanghai's public security organs have been deeply promoting the "Sharpening Sword 2023" special crackdown and rectification action, strengthening patrols and prevention in popular scenic spots, maintaining public order in cultural and tourism venues, optimizing road traffic safety management, continuously improving the safety and satisfaction of the people, and making every effort to maintain the overall safety and stability of social security.
Entering the summer season, the cultural and tourism market in Shanghai continues to be booming, with visitors flocking to major cultural and tourism venues in the city, and some even experiencing a situation where it is difficult to obtain a single ticket. In order to continuously purify the Shanghai tourism market and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of tourists, the police have further strengthened their work coordination with the management and administrative authorities of popular venues and scenic spots such as the Shanghai Museum, Planetarium, and Natural History Museum. They have closely monitored the popularity of foot traffic and ticketing status, jointly managed the source of order in relevant venues, and improved the public's experience and satisfaction. In response to the prominent issues of scalpers and ticket scalpers in some cultural and museum venues, the police have extensively collected case clues and carried out special crackdowns on illegal activities. During this period, 3 related cases were investigated and dealt with, and 8 people were administratively detained and 6 people were warned in accordance with the law.
This summer, the number of tourists to popular scenic spots in Shanghai has increased significantly. According to the requirements of the "one by one plan", the Shanghai public security organs strengthen the monitoring of large passenger flow and public security control, dynamically deploy police forces, carry out crowd diversion and guidance according to local conditions, and maintain public security and order in major scenic spots. In the Bund scenic area, Huangpu Public Security improves tourist traffic efficiency by adjusting the duration of traffic lights and widening the width of pedestrian crossings. In the Disney scenic area, Pudong Public Security has coordinated with the park to open temporary parking areas for emergency use in addition to more than 10000 parking spaces in the core area. At various popular concert venues, local police actively worked with the organizers to prepare safety plans, scientifically designed passage routes, increased police presence during entry and exit, and ensured the safe and orderly evacuation of large passenger flows.
Based on the characteristics of summer transportation, the public security and traffic police departments have increased their police deployment on surrounding roads such as major commercial districts, scenic spots, popular check-in points, museums, and popular exhibitions, scientifically set up positions, and ensure traffic order and safety. In response to the peak summer passenger flow at the Hongqiao hub, the police, in collaboration with multiple departments, carried out a comprehensive "100 day action" to strengthen measures such as elevated ground linkage and remote vehicle diversion, crack down on and rectify illegal lane changing, drunk driving and other traffic violations that are prone to disasters, and work together with relevant departments to strictly investigate illegal parking of motor vehicles and illegal online ride hailing activities, purifying the public security environment of the transportation hub and surrounding areas. Since July, the number of deaths from road traffic accidents in the city has decreased by 13.8% year-on-year.
