How to govern? Cycling in the "model room" of bicycle lane is like "breaking through the customs"

  Yesterday afternoon, citizens rode in the newly laid colored bicycle lane under guomao bridge. At present, the renovation of the slow-moving system of the Third Ring Road has come to an end, and all the 48,000 square meters of colored bicycle lanes and signs have been paved.

  In order to advocate more people to travel green, the city is laying more bicycle lanes. However, the "right of way" has been occupied repeatedly, which greatly reduces the effect of adding lanes. The reporter recently found that even in the bicycle demonstration section, riding is stumbling. A person in charge of the transportation department bluntly said: "To completely smooth the cycling road, it is necessary for law enforcement departments, cyclists and drivers to work together."

  This year, the city will complete the management of two-level 300-kilometer bicycle lanes in urban areas and gradually realize regional networking. Among them, the task of managing urban road bicycle lanes by the city is 150 kilometers. Before the "treatment", the transportation department sorted out the "three sins" that "interfere" with bicycle travel at present, including the conflict between normal riding and bus entering the station; The occupation of motor vehicles causes the traffic conflict of bicycles borrowing motor vehicle lanes; The right of way at the intersection under the bridge is not clear.

  Bicycle lanes have become "parking spaces"

  Tiantan East Road, Chongwenmenwai Street, Chongwenmennei Street and Dongdan North Street are the first batch of bicycle demonstration sections in Beijing. However, in the last half month, the reporter visited many times and found that the former "model room" riding was like crossing the barrier.

  In Chongwenmenwai Street, the side road is about 9 meters wide. There is a row of "isolation belts" about seventy or eighty centimeters wide in the road, which are paved with cement. This was the idea of the road administration department at that time, which replaced the movable isolation guardrail, forcing motor vehicle owners to give up parking by the side and completely safeguarding the right of way for cyclists. A row of parking spaces has been designated on the outer auxiliary road to facilitate the car to stop along the "isolation belt".

  At 7 o’clock yesterday, the reporter rode by here, and a gray car blocked the entrance of the bicycle. All cyclists had to give up the exclusive lane and mix with the car. Mr. Wang, a citizen, often walks this road. He said, "If a motor vehicle blocks the entrance, all cyclists have to get on the motorway. There is a express delivery point on the east side of Tiantan East Road. Every morning, more than ten express delivery vehicles cross the auxiliary road, so you have to be more careful when riding. "

  At the west exit of Bazhe Yangzhong Street in the Third Ring Road, the newly laid bicycle "red carpet" is quite conspicuous, but a gray car is firmly parked on it, and the body is covered with dust. A resident who lives nearby said, "I haven’t moved since I stopped for several days. Cyclists have to detour here. "

  The reporter rode five or six hundred meters along this road, and eight or nine cars were parked on the roadside, including a huge bus.

  "I don’t want to grab the road with the car either, but the car parked on the side of the road squeezed me into the car pile." Mr. Zhang, a citizen, often rides along the South Third Ring Road. He said: "From Liujiayao Bridge to Zhaogongkou Bridge, sometimes two or three rows of cars can be parked. I wish I could ride in the middle of the road to bypass these obstacles."

  The second ring road to the fourth ring road will be managed one by one.

  How to really clear bicycle lanes is a test of the wisdom of government management.

  While increasing the length of bicycle lanes, the Road Administration Bureau of the Municipal Traffic Commission has been trying various "dredging" methods in recent years to safeguard the right of bicycles. They have set up long and thin car-blocking piles at some intersections to protect bicycle road rights. However, because this device may bump against a cyclist who accidentally falls, it has not been used continuously. The relevant person in charge of the Urban Maintenance Center of the Railway Administration Bureau said: "Now some new methods are also being piloted. For example, Xicheng District has set up a triangular isolation belt near the Drum Tower, which artificially narrows the entrance of bicycle lanes and prevents cars from entering. However, these still need research and experiments. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of cyclists during the day and at night. "

  In addition to new means, the scope of governance will also be expanded. Next year, the bicycle lanes between the Second Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road will be dredged one by one. By then, Beijing will form a cycling environment of "regional connectivity and network".

  Can we mobilize the citizens to manage together?

  The dredging of the road can’t hold the "chicken thief" of an individual. Mr. Zhang, a citizen, suggested, "Some car owners are too careless, blocking the entrance of bicycle lanes, while others stop crooked and almost fill up the roads. These malicious acts should be punished more severely, such as doubling the punishment to serve as a warning." A road construction worker said: "At present, there are no more reconstruction conditions for the circular bicycle lane from the Second Ring Road to the Fourth Ring Road. It is smooth in terms of pavement facilities, but it is not smooth because the management has not kept up. We might as well mobilize community forces and decentralize some law enforcement powers so that more people can manage these ‘ Roadblock ’ 。”

  "There is a height difference between motor vehicle lanes and bicycle lanes in some European countries, about ten centimeters." Ms. Sun, a citizen, suggested, "Beijing may wish to follow these practices and not give motor vehicles the conditions to stay on the side."

  Add 1200 bicycle signs to the Third Ring Road.

  (Reporter Liu Mian) The road administration department said that in addition to the simultaneous management of bicycle lanes in conjunction with road overhaul in trunk cities, this year, the city also extended a "red carpet" that clearly defined the right to ride. The "red carpet" not only appeared at intersections, but also appeared on the way to ride.

  Draw a continuous red bicycle lane at the intersection of bicycles such as guomao bridge, the intersection under the bridge with heavy traffic volume and the chaotic traffic order. In places with less traffic, only bicycle signs are drawn. For example, in the north of Shilihe Bridge, there are three consecutive white bicycle signs on the side road, each of which is lined with a red background.

  According to statistics, this year, a total of 48,000 square meters of "red carpet" was paved on the Third Ring Road, and about 1,200 bicycle signs were added, which will solve the problems of 1,320 traffic conflicts and unclear road rights.

  In addition, the Third Ring Road will also add 11,000 linear meters of mechanical and non-guardrail at the south side of Xinxing Bridge in the outer ring of the West Third Ring Road and the south side of Yuyuantan North Street in the inner ring. At present, the setting of 0.8 million linear meters has been completed. These guardrails will completely solve the non-conflict point at 347 of the Third Ring Road.

  In addition, bicycle lanes have been added on the outside of seven bus stops, including Agricultural Exhibition Hall Station, Sitongqiao East Station and Dazhongsi Station, which has alleviated the conflict between normal riding and inbound bus traffic.
