Are these people in Shanghai still enduring the test of high temperatures?, Beginning of Autumn Traffic Police | Gu Yiwei | High Temperature
Although the beginning of autumn has arrived, the sun in Shanghai is not milder. Public security police officers on duty outdoors are still experiencing a high-temperature test of alternating dry and wet conditions.
Compared to ground roads, elevated roads are more exposed to sunlight. Motorcycles are standard equipment for elevated traffic police, but riding a motorcycle in summer requires courage. Zhang Qi, the police chief of the Fourth Brigade of the Shanghai Public Security Traffic Police Elevated Detachment, would wet the seat cushion with his own water before stepping onto the motorcycle. "This is a bit better, otherwise it will really burn," he said.

The northern area of Hongqiao Hub is the pipeline section of Zhang Qi. This summer, the enthusiasm of citizens and tourists for travel has been high, and the traffic at Hongqiao Hub is particularly busy, with unexpected situations on the road also emerging one after another. "Police officer, I have to catch the high-speed train, it's almost too late." Just yesterday, he received a request for help from a taxi passenger who was unable to catch the high-speed train due to traffic congestion. Zhang Qi immediately guided the driver to detour to the departure platform of Hongqiao Airport to disembark passengers, and informed the passengers of the shortest path to detour to the high-speed rail station, helping them buy time.
Also on duty under the scorching sun are members of the Century Avenue Women's Police Squadron of the Traffic Police Detachment of Pudong Public Security Bureau. Along the Century Avenue, from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower to Pudong Century Park, there are 10 intersections, with a total length of 5.5 kilometers. The traffic police on duty and the auxiliary police are all women.

The busy Century Avenue is constantly bustling with motor vehicles, non motor vehicles, and pedestrians coming and going every day. "Please step back behind the parking line and don't occupy the sidewalk." "Stop and let pedestrians pass first." "Hello, it's a red light now, so you can't pass through." With hurried footsteps, stop and talk, Yu Menglan's uniform was quickly soaked in sweat and turned dark blue.
Yu Menglan joined the Women's Police Squadron 5 years ago, and after this summer, she once again has a wheat colored skin. There are also some unique imprints of female police officers: the black and white mask imprints exposed during peak hours every morning and evening, the two "deep pits" pressed out by sunglasses holders on both sides of the nose bridge, and the pimples on the forehead caused by the stuffiness in the police cap.
"The heat of the sun and the exhaust of cars make the entire inspection station feel like a steamer," said Tang Zhenhong, a 59 year old police officer at Gelong Inspection Station in Jiading Branch, describing his work environment. Working at the checkpoint for years, he had to go through the harsh cold and heat. Old Tang was already prepared for the hot weather, "changing to another uniform during work breaks, hanging the changed uniform, and rotating two sets of police uniforms on duty.".
The traffic on the national highway is rolling, and people often come to the intersection to ask for directions. A few days ago, an elderly woman was strolling around the checkpoint. Upon seeing her, Old Tang took the initiative to inquire, perhaps because she had been walking for too long and was feeling physically exhausted, making it difficult for her to speak. Old Tang took her indoors and handed her water and Feng You Jing. After patient communication, Old Tang heard that the old lady seemed to live in a nearby village. After some inquiry, he finally contacted the old lady's family and sent her back home.
There are still many stories like this, and every traffic police officer has a sticky memory of being on duty under the scorching sun. This summer, there were over 5500 traffic police officers and over 3000 auxiliary police officers in Shanghai Public Security Bureau, fearless of the heat and steadfastly maintaining traffic management positions, maintaining the safety and order of urban road traffic. Since July, the number of deaths and injuries in road traffic accidents in the city has decreased by 22.1% and 29.8% year-on-year, respectively.
