Citizens sometimes encounter confusion caused by the mixed traffic of pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and right-turning vehicles during traffic lights such as traffic intersections in the city. Due to the long distance of the zebra crossing and the influence of the right-turning vehicle, the public often cannot pass the traffic light at one time, and at the same time affect the traffic efficiency of the motor vehicle, causing traffic congestion and safety hazards. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the Beijing Urban Road Management and Maintenance Center yesterday that the city is studying the optimization and adjustment of the location of the zebra crossing. The zebra crossing of more than a dozen intersections will be moved to the roadway next year to shorten the pedestrian distance and reduce the number of passengers. The mutual interference of the motor cars. At the same time, non-motor vehicle parking lines and non-motor vehicle forbidden zone markings will be added to reduce mutual interference between non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles.
Citizens may often encounter such a situation at major intersections in the city. During the red light period, pedestrians and non-motor vehicles waiting to pass through the intersection are all gathered at the corner of the intersection. When pedestrians stand at intersections and other lights, the right-turning vehicle will form a conflict with the gathered pedestrians. The green light is on, and the interference between pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and right-turning vehicles is more obvious.
Take the Wukesong intersection as an example. During the morning and evening peak hours, the impact of pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles is more obvious. Turning the right-handed vehicle into the queue for ten minutes will also happen frequently through the intersection.
The relevant person in charge of the urban maintenance center said that the above problems occurred mainly because of the mixed traffic organization at the intersection. At present, some landmark intersections in this city have left-turning, straight-forward, right-turning, waiting to be turned, etc., as well as color bicycle lanes and three-dimensional zebra crossings, and other emerging facilities in recent years. "However, our research found that the excessive function of the intersection markings is not conducive to traffic congestion. Therefore, we will optimize the transportation facilities according to the characteristics of the citizens' travel needs."
According to reports, the urban maintenance center's road reconstruction plan will formulate standard general rules according to the characteristics of different modes of transportation. For example, pedestrians are the most vulnerable, and they need protection most. Non-motor vehicles are second. Motor vehicles must give priority to pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. This requires that the design of intersection traffic facilities should also give priority to the safety of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, while improving the efficiency of motor vehicle traffic and balancing the traffic flow at intersections.
Measure one
The zebra crossing moves to the roadway
Beiqing Daily reporter learned from the urban maintenance center that next year, the urban maintenance center plans to select 10-20 intersections to start the pilot transformation, and move the zebra crossing that is currently at the corner of the intersection to the approach roadway. Next, the relevant personnel will conduct a professional assessment of the accident rate, the non-interlacing rate, the intersection rate and the degree of compliance with the order of the citizens, and conduct timely promotion according to the evaluation effect.
At present, most of the zebra crossings in Beijing are located at the curve of the intersection. This design actually provides pedestrians with the longest distance through the intersection, which is not conducive to the efficient use of limited signal time. The road junction transformation will select a pilot in this city, and the position of the crosswalk will be brought closer to the roadway, which will shorten the shortest distance through the intersection, reduce the pedestrian transit time, and improve the traffic efficiency of the entire intersection. At the same time, pedestrians and right-turn lanes do not form an interlace at the right turn of the vehicle.
Measure 2
Add non-motor vehicle parking line
At present, both the motorized vehicle and the non-motor vehicle are in the same stop line, which is set in front of the crosswalk line. The urban maintenance center plans to select a pilot, and a non-motorized parking line, a space between the non-motorized parking line and the crosswalk, is added behind the crosswalk. Set to non-motorized waiting area. In this way, the intertwining of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians at intersections is eliminated, and accidents are reduced.
At the same time, in order to prevent pedestrians from getting stuck at the corner of the intersection, they will be separated by physical means such as guardrails and isolation piles to guide pedestrians to wait and pass at the crosswalk.
For roads with a large road width, a safety island will be placed on the crosswalk at the central divider or at the dividing line of the roadway to facilitate pedestrians.
Measure three
Adding a non-motorized no-go zone marking
In addition to the above measures, the urban maintenance center will also set a non-motor vehicle forbidden zone marking line according to the national standard to inform the non-motorized users to prohibit the entry range in the intersection. The left-turning non-motor vehicle should follow the prohibited area. Wrap around and stop twice. Therefore, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles are no longer intertwined, and the hidden danger of traffic accidents is also reduced.
According to public information, as early as 1999, the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau issued a notice stipulating that non-motor vehicles should not enter the non-motorized parking area when passing through the intersection of the non-motorized parking area.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that the last large-scale non-motorized parking area was still in 2010. At that time, the Traffic Management Bureau set up a non-motor vehicle ban at the intersection of non-motor vehicles such as Chang'an Street, Ping'an Street and Liangguang Road. More than 200 driving areas. After 2010, the proportion of citizens riding bicycles has been decreasing year by year. According to relevant statistics, the proportion of bicycle trips in Beijing has dropped from 63% in 1986 to 13.8% in 2012. Since then, there have been fewer and fewer citizens riding bicycles, and non-motorized parking areas have rarely been mentioned. and. With the popularization of shared bicycle travel in the past two years, the bicycle has returned to the city again, and the Beijing non-motorized parking area has once again been included in the renovation of traffic intersections.
