Composition-How to Enhance Teenagers' Traffic Safety Awareness

Traffic is an important element of modern people's living space, which is closely related to everyone. The ancients said that "clothing, food, housing and transportation" put traffic in an important position second only to clothing, food, housing and transportation. It can be seen that people have realized the importance of "traffic" since ancient times. In ancient China, the traffic was far from developed, but there were official roads in towns, lanes in villages and even Li Bai. As early as the Yellow Emperor period, officials were in charge of roads, and "traveling" was as long as the history of China civilization. In the long evolution of "travel", traffic consciousness took shape, and there was a strict hierarchy on "travel" from Qin Dynasty. For example, people of different grades can't ride in the same car, and people should avoid officials. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, the rut width on the official road was unified, which was called the official road. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the spread of western learning and the Westernization Movement, China had cars and began to have driveways and sidewalks. Although a series of traffic rules in feudal society were based on hierarchy, they also implied traffic safety awareness and established "walking" rules for people. After the founding of New China, in order to ensure the safety of people's "walking", "walking" was adopted in the road driving rules. With the development of society, especially the acceleration of urban construction and the change of modern people's lifestyle, the relationship between "travel" and people is getting closer and closer, and traffic accidents have become a hidden danger of "travel". Although we have done a lot of work, traffic accidents are still a solid disease. The reason is not only the complexity of cars, roads and traffic participants, but also the fact that people's traffic safety awareness can't keep up with the development speed of traffic. First of all, pedestrian congestion is an important reason. Most pedestrians love to take shortcuts, and it is obvious that they will reach the crosswalk in a few steps, but some people walk between the traffic in order to get close to these steps, taking a few steps calmly, at the expense of their own lives; Followed by motor vehicle drivers, with the continuous improvement of road conditions, the speed of motor vehicles has also accelerated. The warning of "ten accidents and nine quick", the smooth road and superior mechanical performance have made drivers and friends forget the warning of "better stop for three minutes than grab a second"; Third, the non-motorized vehicle has turned the whole road into its own training ground, turning from left to right, turning without looking at the vehicles behind, let alone gesturing, without fear. These performances are all manifestations of poor traffic safety awareness. How to improve the safety awareness of traffic participants, the author, as the head of the grass-roots traffic police department, has gradually explored some experiences in recent years in combination with the actual situation of local traffic.

The first is to improve traffic facilities. Judging from the existing experience, improving good traffic facilities can effectively improve the traffic safety awareness of traffic participants. In 2002, combined with the work requirements of the Party Committee of Urumqi Public Security Bureau, in accordance with the spirit of Director Wang Jiao's instructions on greatly improving the traffic order in our city in a short time, and with the strong support of higher authorities and local party committees, Xing 'an Road and Wulan East Street were taken as pilot projects to carry out the "Strict Street Management" project, and the necessary traffic facilities and publicity slogans were gradually deployed. Good results have been achieved in the past two years. The road traffic order has obviously improved, people and vehicles have their own ways, traffic violations are few, traffic accidents have been greatly reduced, and the safety awareness of traffic participants has been significantly improved. In the night inspection and spot check, the illegal behavior of traffic participants is less than one tenth of that of other streets without traffic police management. Although good traffic facilities and road signs and markings cannot directly participate in traffic management, they are qualitative and tangible rules in the consciousness of traffic participants and play a binding role in people's subconscious. The comprehensive evaluation of the "unblocked project" in our city has reached the national level 4, but the existing traffic facilities and traffic signs are far from meeting the standard requirements, and the traffic management equipment is outdated. For example, traffic lights are installed at only 12 intersection in the urban area, and some intersections with complicated traffic conditions still have no traffic light control. There is no electronic police monitoring equipment and automatic electronic eye capture equipment in the city, and traffic signs are rare, except for two "Yan Guan Streets". There are few traffic signs in other streets, some sections have no traffic signs at all, and the traffic markings have been used for a long time. The traffic markings originally planned in some sections have not adapted to the current traffic demand, which seriously affects traffic safety, makes traffic participants have no rules to follow, causes traffic disorder and has hidden dangers of traffic accidents. How can it be a square without rules? It is imperative to improve the safety awareness of traffic participants and improve traffic facilities.

Second, improve the comprehensive quality of the traffic police team. As the manager of traffic order, the quality of traffic police plays a decisive role in the safety awareness of traffic participants. An excellent traffic policeman should not only have the qualities of a manager, but also have the ability to guide. Especially from the current situation of our city, it is imperative to improve the quality of traffic police. The Traffic Police Brigade of Urumqi Public Security Bureau currently has 53 policemen, 17 on-site policemen, of whom only 8 policemen are on duty at intersections, but they are responsible for the traffic management of the city's population of 280,000, 50,000 motor vehicles and150,000 non-motor vehicles. It is common for traffic police to work overload and persist in their work despite illness. There are many occupational diseases of traffic police: rheumatism, arthritis, pharyngolaryngitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, cervical hyperplasia, vasculitis, lumbar disc herniation and so on. For traffic police, there is no concept of holidays and weekends. The more holidays, the busier the traffic police are. In the case of centralized inventory, emergency, and special governance actions, it is even more necessary to turn around. Long-term high-intensity work, irregular life, high mental stress, and being infringed by various pollutants such as automobile exhaust, lead to serious physical exhaustion of traffic police, "getting old first." In the face of the traffic police who have forgotten their work, Director Wang Jiao once said with heartache: "Our police are overdrawing their lives!" Yes, life is only once for everyone, and life is precious, but the greatest person in the new era, the traffic police, is sacrificing his life for the peace of the people in Red City. Every day in noisy streets, they have to face dust, noise, car exhaust and the unbearable high or low ground temperature of ordinary people. When the weather is bad, others can go home to sleep, go to air-conditioned shopping malls, or stay in the car and listen to music. The traffic police outside the window can only stick to their posts like nails and be forced to "enjoy" sunbathing, wind bathing and tail gas bathing. Because they breathe too much automobile exhaust every day, the chances of carbon monoxide and lead poisoning are dozens of times higher than those of other industries.

With the existing police force unchanged, improving the comprehensive quality of the police is the most effective means to improve the quality and efficiency of work. In this regard, we have also done a lot of work: taking advantage of the weekly business study opportunities of the brigade to give political and professional instructions to the traffic police; Organize the police to watch the photos of traffic management in advanced areas, find out their own shortcomings through observation, actively carry out large-scale post training activities, and fundamentally solve the outstanding problems of individual police officers who can't speak, can't catch up and can't win through political, professional and physical training, and further firmly establish the idea of "building police for the public and enforcing law for the people". While improving the quality of police officers on duty, since 2002, brigade members and all back-office police officers have been on duty at four traffic peaks every day, making full use of the existing police force, alleviating the pressure of police tension to a certain extent and improving the traffic safety awareness of traffic participants.

Third, increase traffic safety publicity. In recent years, we have carried out various forms of traffic safety publicity through newspapers, audio-visual and other news media. However, with the increasing complexity of traffic participants, our propaganda sometimes seems to lag behind the situation. For example, with the development and expansion of the city, the number of migrant workers is increasing, especially the rural people who suddenly transition from rural roads to urban roads. They have not yet established the corresponding traffic safety awareness, which is manifested in not knowing the traffic signs, not crossing the crosswalk, not watching the traffic lights, and being at a loss in traffic. In other schools, students are not well organized to go to and from school, primary school students cross the road and chase after school, middle school students drive in groups of three or five, ride bicycles side by side, and have a weak sense of personal traffic safety, which all put forward new topics for our safety. On May 1 this year, under the leadership of the Union Traffic Police Detachment and the Municipal Public Security Bureau, we launched the "Union Road Traffic Safety Law Mobilization Implementation Meeting and Ten Thousand People Signature Activity". The main leaders of trade unions, cities and banners and tens of thousands of people attended the ceremony and signed a big banner with the words "People-oriented, Care for Life". Through this accumulated experience, we will strive for strong support from all walks of life, make traffic safety publicity a comprehensive social project, and extend traffic safety publicity to communities, schools, complex places, enterprises and institutions, large motorcades and so on. , and take the form of photo exhibition, safety knowledge consultation, etc., to widely publicize traffic safety knowledge to all walks of life and improve citizens' awareness of traffic safety.

The above are my experiences on how to improve citizens' awareness of traffic safety. Maintaining good traffic order is a comprehensive project, which requires both the improvement of the quality of traffic participants and the continuous exploration, strengthening and improvement of traffic management departments. However, the author believes that as long as traffic participants really regard "travel" as a major event and don't joke about their own life safety, everyone's feet will be smooth sailing and full of happiness.
