What is the solution to congestion on Shanghai elevated ramps? These 13 bottlenecks have been optimized and adjusted. Information | Citizen | Research
"There are yellow solid lines everywhere, and there is a need to temporarily stop for a while, but I am worried about being fined..." Recently, a National People's Congress representative proposed suggestions for optimizing the setting of yellow solid lines. The Traffic Police Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau actively responded, extensively listened to the needs of citizens, conducted on-site investigations and research, quickly formulated optimization plans, and gradually cleared more than 40 unreasonable yellow solid lines and set up more than 1500 "yellow dashed lines".
Since the launch of the theme education of listening to the voices of the people, understanding the truth, finding problems, and seeking solutions, the Traffic Police Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has adhered to the problem oriented and goal oriented approach, insisting on transforming learning achievements into vivid practices of doing practical things, solving problems, and solving people's concerns.
Since the beginning of this year, the queuing traffic on the Guohe Road ramp of the Central Elevated Road has often "dragged" to the ground, which has received strong feedback from citizens. After on-site investigation and analysis of traffic big data, the traffic police department found that the crux of the problem is that the distance for vehicles to change lanes is too short. Through the cooperation of the elevated detachment and local traffic police detachment, some isolation piers on the entrance ramp of the Central Elevated Guohe Road were dismantled. The solid line between lanes 3 and 4 of the Central Main Line was extended by nearly 50 meters, increasing the distance for vehicles to change lanes from the ramp to the main line and effectively alleviating the backlog of vehicle queues.
The Traffic Police Corps promotes the formation of policy mechanisms by dissecting sparrows and using points to cover areas, transforming research results into practical development. In response to the intestinal obstruction caused by different reasons in elevated ramp traffic, the elevated support team is exploring the establishment of a "ramp chief work system" - with the most familiar and experienced traffic police serving as the "ramp chief", sorting out the congestion problems on each ramp, applying targeted drugs, refining and adjusting traffic organization, signal lights, and traffic markings, and tracking and evaluating the implementation effectiveness. As of now, the Shanghai Public Security Traffic Police Department has completed the optimization and adjustment of 13 congested ramps.
Since the launch of themed education, the Traffic Police Corps has focused on prominent issues and key areas that have received strong feedback from the public, and has sorted out 21 key topics. Led by the leadership of the Corps, research has been conducted to analyze the reasons one by one and study solutions. For example, some citizens have reported that the "one click move" function is not associated with temporary license plate vehicle owner information. The functional department has included this in the to-do list, thoroughly identifying a series of problems and shortcomings such as delayed synchronization of owner information changes and missing owner information for some out of town license plate vehicles, forming a research topic, widely listening to public suggestions, and focusing on researching solutions. Through the collaboration of relevant functional departments, "One Click Moving" has incorporated the temporary license plate owner information issued by Shanghai into the system. In addition, based on suggestions from the public, the number of times the same user can use "one click move" within a certain period of time has been restricted to prevent anyone from using this function to maliciously harass car owners.
With the development of cities, road forms are becoming more diverse and functions are becoming more complex. How to improve the level of refined management is an urgent issue. On June 30th, Pudong Night Riverside - Zhengda Bingou Market and Pudong's first limited time pedestrian street officially opened. Prior to this, the Road Design Department of the Traffic Police Headquarters conducted detailed exploration and research on the feasibility of implementing pedestrian streets and the practical problems that need to be solved, continuously improving the management plan. From understanding the road network, calculating traffic flow, to planning detours and excavating parking resources, traffic police departments gradually formulate traffic organization and control measures for pedestrian streets and surrounding roads. In this process, special attention is paid to balancing the right of way of the pedestrian street and the travel needs of residents and employees along the line, in order to reduce the impact on the normal life of citizens.
The Traffic Police Corps has deeply promoted the rectification of traffic violations and carried out road traffic accident prevention actions. In the first half of the year, the number of road traffic accident deaths in the city decreased by 16% compared to the same period in 2019. In order to enhance the awareness of orderly traffic for drivers, traffic police departments not only set up traffic signs and paint the ground with the words "alternate traffic" in the meeting area, but also use electronic police to capture vehicles that do not follow the regulations for alternate traffic: vehicles in the captured area must pass according to the "1, 2, 1, 2" alternate traffic model. Once the rules are broken, the electronic police will immediately shoot a video and capture four illegal photos, which will be manually reviewed and included in the punishment platform.
The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Public Security Traffic Police Corps stated that they will continue to promote tasks such as investigation and research, inspection and rectification, and establishment of regulations and systems, focusing on key work such as facilitating the people and benefiting enterprises, eliminating congestion and ensuring smooth traffic, and reducing accident pressure, and promoting the deepening and implementation of theme education.
