Three schools in Yunyan District have left school at different peaks, and the intersection from the communication office to the north of the city is unobstructed.
On November 14th, the reporter saw in Zhonghua North Road, Guiyang that the traffic efficiency from the communication office of Zhonghua North Road to the intersection of Shibei Road was much smoother than before.
"In the past, the three schools were basically out of school at the same time, and a large number of vehicles picking up students were crowded together, and the traffic was a mess. Now, the school hours of several schools are staggered, the crowds and vehicles that pick up students are scattered, and the roads are much smoother. " Master Wang, a parent who is sending her children to school at the entrance of Guiyang No.6 Middle School, said.
Guiyang No.6 Middle School, Guiyang Experimental Primary School and Guiyang Experimental Kindergarten are located on one side of the road at the intersection of Zhonghua North Road and Shibei Road, and the three schools are lined up. The northernmost section of Zhonghua North Road is a two-way road from north to south, with a distance of only 260 meters and four lanes in both directions. There are more than 5000 students in three schools.
According to the statistics of three schools, parents pick up about 3,000 vehicles for students. There are many government agencies, enterprises and institutions along the line, and there are many vehicles for office workers and staff going to various units. In the morning and evening rush hours, this section of the road is more congested.
Because most of the vehicles that pick up and drop off students and the unit vehicles along the route need to be diverted from the intersection of Zhonghua North Road and Beijing Road, Beijing Road turns right to enter the traffic flow of Zhonghua North Road, Beijing Road turns left to two, and Zhonghua Road joins the traffic flow of three straight lanes into the northernmost section of Zhonghua North Road, which is a typical "funnel" intersection and bears great traffic pressure. On this short and narrow road, once a vehicle stops to get on and off passengers and turns around to return, it will increase the difficulty for the rear traffic.
In the past, many parents temporarily stopped to get on and off the bus, which may directly cause traffic difficulties at the intersection of communication places, and may seriously affect the traffic at the intersection of Yanwu Street.
In order to strengthen traffic management and improve traffic capacity, Yunyan traffic police adopted a series of management measures after the school started in September this year.
Strengthen the diversion force along the route, and arrange seven police officers at the surrounding intersections and road sections to prevent parking in the road and turning around at the intersection from affecting the normal traffic of vehicles. Optimize the traffic light timing at the adjacent intersection of Shibei Street and Communication, add physical isolation cones and no-turn signs in the center of the road, and eliminate the traffic obstruction caused by turning around in some vehicles. Extend the temporary parking zone for parents to pick up and drop off students to solve the rigid parking demand for picking up and dropping off students’ vehicles.
Since the implementation of the "traffic control" work in Guiyang, Yunyan traffic police have gone deep into the school and convened three schools involved to have a discussion to discuss opinions and suggestions on "traffic control". The comprehensive management measures of "school-police co-governance" were carried out, and it was finally decided that the three schools would adopt the mode of "school-school peak-shifting and class-shifting" to finely manage the pick-up and drop-off of students’ vehicles to prevent a sharp increase in traffic flow in a short time.
The peak school hours are: Guiyang No.6 Middle School is pushed back to 17: 40 after school at 17: 20; At 17: 30 in the experimental primary school, the grade classes in the school leave school at a peak.
During the school hours, the school will send additional personnel on duty to inform parents of parking on the road, widely publicize the news that the traffic police have extended the temporary parking zone, disperse the temporary parking spots, and let students supervise their parents by means of "small hands and big hands".
Through the "joint management of the school and police" and the cooperation of parents, the traffic at the northernmost section of Zhonghua North Road has improved. Compared with the same period last year, the morning rush hour started nearly 10 minutes later than before and receded nearly 10 minutes earlier.
According to the observation in recent days, the farthest impact of rush hour does not exceed the intersection of communication, and the impact on Yanwu Street traffic is almost zero.
Yunyan traffic police said that it will continue to strengthen the work of "blocking and ensuring smoothness", and ask drivers to cooperate closely and obey the traffic police’s command to jointly create a good travel environment.
