Chapter 17 Chapter fifteen

Creating a civilized city is a complicated systematic project. The process of urbanization requires us to have a pair of omniscient and omnipotent eyes like God to look at the city three-dimensionally.Judging a city is like falling in love, not only requires her to be beautiful, but also beautiful.Only when a city has complete functions and complete facilities can it provide the general public with convenient, thoughtful, civilized and high-quality services. There is a very fashionable saying: management is also the ability to pass. A very official saying: Traffic problems are an important indicator of evaluating whether a city is modern.

Traffic problems pose a serious challenge to modernization. How to solve this historic ill? How to achieve transportation modernization in the process of urbanization has been put on the agenda of some cities, and there are many tricks: In the outline of the author's interview, the Jinan traffic police were prominently listed on it.The real interview with the Jinan traffic police started two or three years ago. The author has a friend named Huang Chunming, the head of Xuchang Traffic Police Brigade.He is a veteran of the traffic police system in Henan Province.During a conversation, Huang disclosed to me that before the traffic police in Jinan became famous, they had traveled in many places to learn from them, and even came to him for advice.Huang said: The duty of the traffic police is to direct traffic, maintain order, and play the role of blocking and dredging. This is quite like the work of Gun Yu's flood control in ancient times. If blocking and dredging are not done properly, problems will arise.When you think about it, it's a very cultured profession.The traffic police express their will, mainly by body language.Body and language can actually be divided into many schools. The so-called every movement of hands and feet is full of knowledge. There can be physical education of walking and jumping, dancing of hand and foot dancing, and linguistics is even more extensive and profound. , it is the basic subject of all subjects.The traffic police in Jinan went out before leaving the division. Just like Confucius asked about the ceremony, they first worshiped the world as their teachers, and then collected the culmination of traffic police etiquette. Traffic is definitely a beautiful enjoyment...

The author deliberately watched the performances of traffic policemen on Jingqi Road and Jingshi Road, the most lively areas in Jinan.It was rainy weather, and the traffic police comrades on duty stood like sculptures against the dark gray background. The flow of off-duty people was gurgling and rushing away. Although the signal lights were still flashing, because of the special time, it was for the sake of pedestrians in the rain , So the traffic police comrades walked out of their posts and expressed their concerns with gestures.They play the movement of traffic order as deftly as a conductor of an orchestra, and each movement has a profound expressive force.Under the guidance of the caring body language of the traffic police, the vehicles and pedestrians were in order, and in the rain, they cooperated with the traffic police to stage a free and easy traffic concerto...

Comrade once wrote an inscription for Jinan traffic police: strict law enforcement and enthusiastic service.These eight characters focus on the ideal height that the traffic police team should have, and describe the spiritual essence of Jinan traffic police. The traffic police are both the sun and the moon. They are strict law enforcers for those who violate traffic laws, and they are enthusiastic service providers for the general public who abide by traffic order. Meirenguan should be called Meiren Palace, located in the old urban area of ​​Xiamen.The old urban area of ​​Xiamen is only 13.8 square kilometers, but it has 126,000 motor vehicles, 30,000 tricycles and countless bicycles.The streets in the old city are narrow, especially in the section of Meiren Palace, where one car is difficult to pass and ten thousand cars are difficult to drive, so passers-by joked: Heroes are sad when beauty passes.

The embarrassment of the Meiren Palace section has become the epitome of the traffic situation in downtown Xiamen.According to the symptoms of Xiamen traffic, Xiamen City has given three doses of strong medicine: One of the strong medicines: the ban on honking On September 24, 1996, the Mayor of Xiamen City issued the No. 36 "Xiamen Municipal People's Government Order", the seventh date of which: Motor vehicles that violate regulations and honk their horns on Xiamen Island will be fined between RMB 20 and RMB 500 by the municipal public security department.As soon as this order came out, there were as many as 60 red light violations per day in the past.Only about 8 times now.

Strong medicine two: cancel the tricycle There are 36,000 tricycles in the urban area of ​​Xiamen, and tricycles have become a trouble in Xiamen.These tricycles occupy the road and fight for the road, making the whole urban area full of smog.If you only look at the performance of tricycles, Xiamen does not look like a modern city anyway.So Xiamen City decided to change the life of tricycles and cancel tricycles in urban areas.In view of the fact that most tricycles are owned by ordinary people, and considering the fundamental interests of the people, the city decided to buy micro-cars for some units and tricycle owners with loans. Some tricycle workers were placed in farmers’ markets for small businesses; Come on, the leaders are satisfied, the masses are satisfied, and the traffic management department is also satisfied.

The third strong medicine: remove the traffic post The streets in the old city of Xiamen are narrow.The traffic and people are like crucian carp crossing the river, and the traffic sentry boxes are like the stones of the river, which makes the originally narrow road more congested and takes a lot of police force.Xiamen City spent 30 million yuan to import a set of traffic command and monitoring system from abroad. After it was put into use, Xiamen City took the lead in dismantling traffic guard boxes in the country, freeing a large number of police forces from guard towers.Not only that, but the accumulative scoring method is adopted for impounding cars, which avoids exacerbating traffic jams due to too long negotiation time, and often makes drivers vigilant and more consciously abides by traffic laws.

After these three doses of strong medicine went down, the traffic situation in Xiamen improved immediately. One day in the spring of 2000, the author came to the Traffic Management Bureau of the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Bureau, only then did I know that this was a collective with many dazzling auras. In 1996, the Ministry of Public Security awarded the national public security organs to learn from the Jinan traffic police advanced collective and won the collective first-class merit.They have created many national firsts in the traffic police system, such as: The ban on honking horns made Xiamen the first city without car noise pollution in the country; the introduction of an internationally advanced traffic command center made Xiamen the first traffic police to step down from their posts and walk on the road; the first to say goodbye to uncivilized traffic and civilize the road. Traffic light publicity projects, etc., have been praised by Xiamen citizens and praised by provincial and municipal leaders.When the Prime Minister visited here, he praised it and wrote an inscription with pleasure, which became a good story on the lips of the police officers of the bureau.

The saying that the hero is sad about Meiren Palace circulated by Xiamen people has gradually been dispelled by reality.One day, a foreigner took a taxi to the train station. Because he lived in the old urban area, considering the traffic problem, he arranged a lot of time.The place where he lives is only half an hour away from the train station. He has prepared for himself for an hour, and then he can go on the road calmly.Everything was developing in an orderly manner according to the plan, and when the outsider walked out of the hotel, there was exactly one hour waiting for him to arrange, so he asked for a taxi and drove quickly to the train station.There is no story on the road, Xiamen is very beautiful, the market is very prosperous, outsiders are like swimming in a painting, the road is smooth and pleasant, and it takes less than half an hour to arrive at the train station.After paying the money and getting out of the car, the outsider looked at his watch, and there was still half an hour left, thinking that this time he would have a leisurely time to get on the train. In the past, the traffic was jammed. Sa Yazi ran to the station, this time with nothing in her hands, and with such ample time, let's experience a relaxed mood.Thinking of being empty-handed, outsiders see that they really didn't take anything!It was this relaxed glance that made his cold sweat break out.

He left the lockbox in the taxi! When getting on the bus, he casually put the lockbox on the back seat, and sat in the front seat himself, and then chatted with the driver, but when he got off the bus, he left the box behind. This foreigner is called Zou Yungang, from Shandong, and the taxi he takes is Min DT1516.The lockbox is worth more than 10,000 yuan in foreign currency, RMB and other items. Zou Yungang panicked all of a sudden, and the leisurely expression just now was replaced by panic.He hurried to the direction where the taxi was going, trying to catch up with that taxi, but the road was criss-cross and the sea of ​​people was huge, how could he find the whereabouts of that taxi?

At this moment, he saw a policeman patrolling the road, and with a flash in his head, he told the policemen what happened just now.The policeman's name was Yang Qingdeng, and he was a police officer of the Kaiyuan Brigade of the Traffic Management Bureau.Xiao Yang immediately got in touch with the patrolling police in other police districts, and then notified the traffic command and monitoring center of the situation, quickly deployed control, and stopped the taxi in less than 30 minutes.When the lockbox was retrieved, Zou Yungang did not delay the train. He took the hand of the policeman who delivered the lockbox and said: "It's incredible, it's too fast. The traffic police in Xiamen are really amazing!" During the interview, the author visited Foshan 110 Command Center in Guangdong, Fuzhou Public Security Bureau 110 Alarm Command Center, Zhangzhou 110 Alarm Command Center, Xiamen Traffic Command Center, Beijing 110 Command Center, Beijing Traffic Management Center, etc. I really saw how modern technology plays a huge role in the management of a city.In the hall of Xiamen Traffic Command and Monitoring Center, the author saw the main intersections of the whole city appearing in front of him immediately. They hung there like moving photos. As long as accidents or situations occurred in any place, the monitoring center would immediately make a decision within.During the interview, the monitoring center demonstrated the tracking of an illegal taxi: on the closed-circuit television screen, a red Santana ran a red light. Print it out on the computer and send it to the author... The monitoring center is not only the nerve center of Xiamen traffic management, but also the discerning eyes of traffic managers.It faithfully records the information of law-abiding drivers going all the way, and reports accidents on urban roads from time to time.Because of the clear-cut decisions, one order after another is issued from here, commanding the patrol cars scattered on the main road sections and the traffic police on standby, and they will faithfully execute them with the fastest speed and the most resolute attitude Follow the order.As long as the order is issued, no matter how remote the road is or how complicated the situation is, the traffic police will arrive at the scene of the accident within three minutes.Due to the existence of the monitoring center, for the general public and drivers, the experience is more of a psychological support and spiritual comfort.The constantly changing road condition information, traffic management regulations, and friendly reminders and greetings to drivers on the electronic display screens hanging on various road sections will be transformed into spiritual energy and transmitted to the people on the move, making these constructions of Xiamen City They can walk faster and better, and carry a city forward at high speed... The success of the monitoring center is also the success of technology. It greatly improves the ability of Xiamen traffic management to monitor and monitor urban roads. In the case of emergencies, it has realized rapid police receiving and handling, and has undergone revolutionary changes in structure, changing the old railway police's narrow concept of territorial management of each section of the railway police, and not correcting other places, and turning it into a big traffic of the whole city. management mode. Xiamen Traffic Management Bureau is another bright red flag after Jinan traffic police. The application of technology has injected powerful energy into traffic management, which not only fulfills the dream of managers, but also gives citizens confidence in urban traffic. This is Nanjing. One afternoon, in order to prove the traffic capacity of Nanjing, the author declined the arrangement of the Civilization Office of Jiangsu Province. Under the guise of a member of the club, he took a taxi from outside the Provincial Party Committee Hotel to Shimenkan outside Guanghua Gate at the peak hour of get off work in the name of a member of the Northwest To the southeast, almost throughout Nanjing.The taxi driver is a man in his 30s, thin, of medium height, wearing a dark checkered shirt, and has a small round face.The driver chatted with me in Nanjing dialect. We chatted about the world. He asked about the income of taxi drivers in Beijing and the situation in the Taiwan Strait, and I asked him about the traffic situation in Nanjing. Author: The forests on both sides of the road in Nanjing are very impressive. Is this a scene in Nanjing?Driver: Those trees have been like that since I can remember, and several people couldn't hug them.At that time, I felt that there were two dragon-shaped forests here. In some areas, 6 big trees were lined up side by side, and the hula-la stretched forward for more than 10 miles. That kind of style can only be found on Zhongshan Avenue.There are far fewer trees now, but the posture is still there, and ordinary cities are still incomparable with Nanjing. Author: This is commuting time, I don't think there is any traffic jam. Driver: The traffic jam was severe in the first two years. If it is now, just find a place to rest. Who will do the work. Author: Look at the police, there are very few on duty. Driver: All removed.You see, a timer is installed every road day, and the driver directs his actions according to the time on the display screen. The monitoring probe at the intersection is many times more effective than human eyes. No matter how far you run, it will take you If you can see clearly, what do you need the police and sentry boxes for? Author: How do drivers view these changes? Is it good or bad? Driver: Of course!Who wants to be stuck in traffic?If you can't earn money to drink the Northwest Wind, who wants to? Author: What's so good about it? Driver: There are too many benefits.One is that there is a sense of the restoration of Skynet, which is too restrictive. We have visited the monitoring center, and it can count the strands of your hair. Who would dare to make a mistake?Technology is God's eyes, it can see everything.Take me for example, ever since I saw the monitoring center, my heart was pounding as soon as I passed the intersection, and I whispered to the probe, I know you are watching me, I am not violating the rules, and I am not violating the rules. Well done, look at what I'm doing, you turn your head away... Haha... I believe that most drivers have this mentality, so that over time, they will have strong restraint and self-discipline, although at the beginning Sometimes it is forced and passive, but over time it forms a self-awareness, and everyone develops the habit of consciously obeying the traffic rules.The second is to increase the transparency of police law enforcement.In the past, the police enforced the law with a lot of randomness. They attacked us like cats and mice in remote and unobtrusive places, and it was even more irritating when they fined us.He is unreasonable and has a bad attitude. If you dare not speak up, as long as you dare to speak up, he will tear up a bigger ticket for you. He is the king of heaven, and he is the government.It is different now, everything is entered into the computer, called digital management, it treats people equally, the transparency is stronger, and there is less unhealthy trend... Author: There is a saying that one thing falls one thing. Some people say that the natural enemy of drivers is the traffic police, just like mice are afraid of cats.Are you afraid of the traffic police? Driver: I was afraid in the past, but not anymore.The traffic policeman in the past really regarded you as a mouse. He thought he was the role of the black cat sheriff. Who would not be afraid to see the driver blowing his beard and staring at his father and scolding his mother?That's a land cat.It is different now, it is a market economy, it is a foreign cat under the condition of science and technology, and it only arrests those who violate traffic regulations. It's Shimenkan, take your things and get ready to get off... Author: It's less than half an hour, so fast...Okay, goodbye... Driver: Goodbye! (The red taxi blended into the traffic in an instant. I was leaning against a sycamore tree on the side of the road to watch the city scenery. At this moment, I saw my friend walking in a hurry...) According to Gu Huaizhong, deputy director of the Research Institute of Nanjing Public Security Bureau, Nanjing has realized scientific, human-oriented and intelligent traffic management, with the city’s traffic capacity increased by 30%, conflict points reduced by half, and the speed of motor vehicles in urban areas reduced by 10%. 10.7 km suddenly increased to 29 km.According to the characteristics of mixed traffic in most cities, they carried out research on the comprehensive management of intersections, taking the stop of motor vehicles at intersections, the left-turn waiting area of ​​non-motor vehicles, and the multi-phase control of signals as a system. design arrangement.In this way, the time resources and space resources at the intersection are utilized most effectively.The Nanjing traffic management department uses technology to interpret the codes of urban traffic difficulties, so that we can appreciate the warm current of humanization and humanization that actually surges under the scientific articles. At the end of the spring of 2000, Zhang Ce, deputy director of the Political Department of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, invited several writers from the Chinese Writers Association to go to their departments to learn more about life and study.In this way, the author has the opportunity to approach the traffic police in Beijing. There is an ordinary white building on the west side of the Guanyuan Bridge on the West Second Ring Road of Beijing. The center of Beijing's traffic management system is located here.When we walked into this ordinary white building that afternoon, the traffic control center here told us what is the era of digital management and digital law enforcement. In 1995, my country began to promote the Gold Card Project.Just as the commercials about this Kanaka said on TV, inspired by the Gold Card Project, the leaders of the Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau also wanted to have a card in their hands, worry-free Shenzhou, and wanted to use the IC card to control the traffic of Beijing motor vehicle drivers. to manage.Director Ma Zhenchuan's idea received theoretical support from the bureau's scientific research institute. In the demonstration report of the research institute, it said: Beijing should implement IC cards as soon as possible, which is an important part of realizing the modernization of traffic management in the capital. However, getting an IC card is easier said than done.A small card needs a huge information network support. Without a network system, an IC card is just a small boat without a sense of attachment. With a network system, it is a flying boat with manned navigation. It can share information and obtain Only with spiritual comfort can we have a sense of belonging to be managed. If this plan is to be implemented, a huge investment will be required. The cost of one card for motor vehicle drivers alone will need 70 million yuan, plus the technical support system, the total budget will exceed 100 million yuan. One hundred million is equivalent to the price of building an overpass. At that time, Beijing was undergoing massive construction projects, paving roads, building bridges and building buildings, the city was rushing upwards, and the roads were rushing forward.People can see and feel these changes, and everyone from top to bottom says that the money is well spent.However, investing in traffic management, such as IC cards and networks, are things that everyone cannot see or touch. In the past, one policeman and one watchtower, and two policemen looked at both ends. Didn’t they survive the same? Now it costs more than 100 million Is it worth it to tinker with that stuff? Ma Zhenchuan and the others discussed this plan again and again.In the last season, the party committee of the bureau made a final decision: determined to win the IC card project and present it to the 50th anniversary of the National Day! The leading comrades of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government gave the Traffic Management Bureau the strongest support and attention at the critical moment.Regarding the comparison between an overpass and a virtual information network, the leaders all saw the great prospect of the latter: this is an information platform under construction, and it is with this platform that the traffic in Beijing will be upgraded to a new level. The level of traffic in Beijing will be greatly enhanced, and the image of Beijing will be greatly improved.Don't underestimate this humble little platform, it is likely to become the starting point of a city leading to the Olympics... The foresight and sagacity of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government helped the Traffic Management Bureau to cope with the shortage of funds.So the IC card project of the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau was officially launched. In March 1998, the Traffic Management Bureau signed the first contract for the construction of an integrated information network system with relevant enterprises and manufacturers. On April 15, 1999, Beijing motor vehicle drivers took over the IC cards that would have a major impact on them from the relevant personnel of the Traffic Management Bureau in stages. The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau named it the Peony Traffic Card. Regarding the significance of this card, Beijing Youth Daily reporter Yang Jufang wrote: The application of this smart card supported by the computer network system in Beijing has been a complete success!It completely solves the problem of separation of fines and fines in traffic management, and ensures the high efficiency of the police in law enforcement. You know, in big cities with tense roads, this has a lot to do with smooth roads.Rapid law enforcement and handling of accidents have become a basic requirement for traffic police. Fast but not at will, and procedures must be followed.In the past, filling out forms by hand would inevitably lead to delays or panic.Now, just insert the card into the POS machine, and it will be done immediately.It allows our traffic policemen to deal with a traffic violation according to the procedure as fast as 20 seconds. It also realizes the management of the driver scientifically.In the database of the Municipal Traffic Control Information Center, all cardholders' safety behavior data are stored.The publicity police of the traffic detachments of various districts and counties can accurately find out the situation of each driver in the control area through the Internet.The police on duty can check the violations of road drivers through the POS machine.The information center can check the list of people who have violated the rules and regulations with 12 points every day.Drivers can also check their own scores through the Internet and audio stations.The network also solves the management problem of separating people from households.It also simplifies the annual inspection of drivers and vehicles.In the past, an annual inspection and annual inspection took 7 to 20 days.Tens of thousands of drivers and millions of vehicles blocked the police enough and bored the drivers enough.Now it’s all right, just go to the traffic department of each district to fill out an annual inspection or annual inspection form, and then swipe the card, as long as the online shows that there are no unpaid fines, no plots to participate in traffic safety education with 12 points, and no unresolved accident records , It is not an escape car or a stolen car that can pass through, and many human factors are also reduced.Up to now, the application program of the computer network system of the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau is still being improved and perfected to add new functions.Modern technology has greatly improved the means and level of traffic management in Beijing.
