When driving in the downtown area of Quanzhou, when the right turn lane and the sidewalk are bright green at the same time, you can often see the phenomenon of "cars are not allowed". Yesterday, some netizens pointed out that a major problem in Quanzhou's traffic is the lack of traffic facilities such as monitoring probes, which to a certain extent contributes to the traffic habits of traffic participants.

The reporter learned from the Quanzhou Traffic Police Detachment Command Center that due to the uncontrolled right-turning, the right-turning lane and pedestrian traffic often cause conflicts, and "vehicles are not allowed" is also common. The traffic police department reminds citizens to avoid pedestrians when driving, otherwise the car must take full responsibility for a car accident on the zebra crossing.

According to reports, within 2 years, Quanzhou will deploy 8,000 high-definition video probes to increase the coverage of public security prevention and control and alarm deployment. At the same time, the traffic police department will also use these high-definition probes to understand the traffic conditions of each section more clearly, and based on the traffic In the case of congestion, the signal light timing can be dynamically adjusted in time.

Phenomenon 1: The surveillance and shooting system is not enough, and the traffic depends on the car owner

Response: Add high-definition probes to the road section to monitor the road in real time and dynamically adjust the signal lights

Netizen "Qingfa Bibo" posted on Weibo yesterday. He believes that a major problem in Quanzhou's traffic is the long-term lack of traffic punishment facilities, which has encouraged traffic participants to develop common traffic habits that do not comply with traffic regulations.

He believes that quite a lot of traffic light intersections in Quanzhou do not have a surveillance camera system, such as the South Ring Road. Good traffic habits require strict traffic law enforcement and long-term restraints. Traffic participants cannot consciously abide by the rules. The traffic authorities are requested to improve the facilities as soon as possible.

According to Officer Kang of the Quanzhou Traffic Police Detachment Command Center, electronic police are currently installed at major intersections in the urban area. Once vehicles are found running red lights or illegally occupying roads, they will automatically be caught and uploaded to the rear monitoring system of the command center.

The reporter learned that starting from this year, Quanzhou will invest 280 million yuan in two years to deploy 8,000 high-definition video probes to comprehensively promote the construction of Quanzhou’s urban safety information system. The project is listed as a practical project for the private sector by the Quanzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government in 2012. It is planned to establish a dedicated video surveillance network covering the Municipal Public Security Bureau, 13 county (city, district) public security bureaus, 190 police stations and front-end monitoring points.

Officer Kang introduced that this means that in the future, in addition to monitoring systems at intersections, some new monitoring systems will also be installed on road sections. In this way, the command center can clearly understand the traffic situation on each road section through the large screen at the rear. Where it is blocked, measures can be taken accordingly, and it can also help to dynamically adjust the timing of the signal lights in a timely manner.

Phenomenon 2: Invisible when the light control is set on the left side of the road and turn right

Response: Beiqu Bridge is nearby, there is no position for poles, and there is no condition to set up "long arms"

The netizen "Waxi Awang" reported that the intersection of Shaolin Road on Donghu Street is very large, but the traffic lights are placed on the left corner. Every time you pass here to turn right into Shaolin Road, you always have to aim left and control the right rearview mirror. , The eyes are too busy.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter came to the scene. The light control here is located at the intersection of Tianan Road. Due to the high traffic volume, especially once there is a bus or minivan in front of it, it is really troublesome to check the light control on the left when turning right. , Can only move slowly with the vehicle in front, and I don’t know whether it has violated the traffic rules. The reporter found in comparison that on Citong Road and National Highway 324 in the urban area, the signal lights with long arms hanging above the road are more convenient for drivers to observe.

In response, Officer Kang responded that taking into account the convenience of the driver’s observation, long-arm signal lights are used at most intersections in the urban area. The site reported by this netizen is rather special. The nearby Beiqu Bridge is the bridge, and the poles on the bridge cannot bear the weight. Therefore, the light control has to be set to the left position. I hope that drivers in the past can drive carefully. Please understand.

Phenomenon 3: Go straight and turn left in parallel more smoothly?

Response: The flow of traffic at each intersection is different, and the way of release is different. "Straight left" needs to be studied

Citizen Mr. Zhan often drove on the road, and yesterday offered more than a dozen suggestions on the setting of traffic lights. In order to propose some practical solutions to the traffic problem in Quanzhou, Mr. Zhan has visited various intersections for a long period of time. He listed a few areas that he considered more reasonable and needed urgent improvement.

In Mr. Zhan's view, the traffic lights at the intersection of Donghu Street and Tian'an Road in the urban area are better traffic lights in the urban area. Mr. Zhan discovered that at this intersection, there were traffic flows in 16 directions. Every time the traffic lights were switched, there were traffic flows in 4 directions at the same time without affecting each other. Because of this arrangement, the vehicles here are in order and the traffic capacity is not bad.

However, Mr. Zhan found that most intersections in urban areas have not yet reached this condition. He suggested that the traffic police department can learn from the signal light setting mode here and promote this release method in other places.

Compared to the straight-right form, Mr. Zhan suggested to adopt the “straight-left” form, that is, a lane that goes straight and turns left in parallel. Mr. Zhan said that he has observed that once a straight right is adopted, the traffic capacity of the three lanes will be affected. Due to straight restrictions, many left turns can only be "waited", not in a substantial sense.

When the green light goes straight to the right, the left-turn lane is "idle". If you go straight and turn left in parallel, if the right turn is really released, then the three lanes can operate simultaneously, and the traffic capacity is greatly improved.

Regarding Mr. Zhan’s suggestion, Police Officer Kang said that when setting signal lights, they generally adopt different ways according to the traffic at each intersection. Mr. Zhan said that the traffic lights at the intersection of Donghu Street and Tian’an Road and the “straight left” matter , They also need to be studied.

Phenomenon 4: Is it necessary to set traffic lights in the U-turn area?

Response: Can not be generalized, the recent investigation will be adjusted according to the situation

Mr. Zhan also believes that it is unnecessary to set traffic lights in the U-turn area. He said that most of the U-turn areas are very close to the traffic lights, so it is not easy to make a U-turn, and sometimes there is no car in front of you, and you need to wait for the traffic lights, which is a waste of time. He suggested that if the U-turn area is set at a distance of more than 50 meters from the traffic lights, then you can turn around directly without waiting for the traffic lights.

In this regard, Police Officer Kang stated that a certain turning radius needs to be considered when setting up a U-turn zone, which does not affect the traffic flow in another lane, so it cannot be generalized. They will also observe the intersection in the near future, depending on the situation.
