In an effort to address the prevalent issue of non-motorized vehicle violations, Beijing’s traffic management department has intensified its enforcement campaign, penalizing a total of over 317,000 traffic violations this month alone. The department has specifically targeted offenses such as red light running,逆向行驶, and reckless driving among non-motorized vehicles, with a focus on ensuring public safety and maintaining orderly traffic.
Since the beginning of August, authorities have issued penalties for more than 317,000 infractions related to non-motorized vehicles, including 1,816 cases of reckless or competitive driving. These intensified efforts come in response to growing public concern about the dangers posed by such violations, particularly those involving bicycles and electric bicycles, which have become increasingly popular for their eco-friendly and convenient nature.
The traffic department has devised a comprehensive plan to address the situation, deploying officers across the city to enforce traffic regulations without fixed times or locations. By adopting a one location, one solution approach, they aim to tackle the specific traffic issues in different areas. Officers are instructed to intercept and penalize violators while prioritizing safety, slowing down the offending vehicles before making an interception and only penalizing after observing the violation.
In addition to enforcing the law, the department is also engaging in educational initiatives to inform the public about the dangers of traffic violations and the importance of safe cycling. They have flagged down delivery personnel for special attention, sharing information about traffic violations and accidents with relevant business and postal authorities to encourage better regulation and corporate responsibility.
The department is also seeking support from the government, social organizations, and volunteers to foster a community-based approach to traffic management. By involving businesses, civil society, and the public in the monitoring of intersections, they hope to raise awareness and encourage adherence to traffic rules.
Since August 1st, the department’s efforts have resulted in a significant number of penalties, with a focus on addressing the root causes of unsafe behavior. They are urging all cyclists to familiarize themselves with traffic regulations, practice safe and lawful cycling, and contribute to a safer environment for all road users.
Beijing’s traffic authorities have made it clear that compliance with traffic laws is a prerequisite for all road participants. They will continue to enforce strict regulations against non-motorized vehicle violations, working to enhance the general public’s awareness of traffic laws and promote a culture of traffic safety.
This intensified campaign is part of a broader push to improve traffic conditions in the city, ensuring that the growing number of cyclists, many of whom use bicycles or electric bicycles for daily commutes or exercise, can coexist safely with other road users. The department’s commitment to public safety is reflected in their efforts to create a more orderly and secure environment for all.
