Parking in the pedestrian lane, chasing racing by bike, Beijing traffic police： these are all illegal acts.
Recently, Beijing is in a good time to travel in spring. Urban parks, scenic spots in the near and far suburbs and even some roads and riverbanks that are popular because of the blooming of spring flowers have attracted many citizens to "punch in". In the work, the traffic control department found that some citizens have a weak sense of safety when traveling, and there are traffic violations and unsafe situations.
The traffic control department reminded that it is a traffic violation for citizens to stop and punch cards and shoot at will when traveling by car, and to drive too slowly to enjoy the scenery; Pedestrians should not stop at intersections and lanes when taking photos and punching in, and they should not ride on guardrails and isolation belts for taking pictures. When riding a bicycle, chasing each other and racing in twists and turns are also traffic violations, and the traffic police can punish them according to law.
Reminder 1
It is not advisable to stop and punch in and shoot at will.
With the gradual increase of outdoor activities such as outing, outing and flower viewing, the traffic volume around the scenic spots is rising. The traffic police in Beijing found that the illegal behavior of individual drivers not only lost civilization and affected others, but also brought certain risks to road traffic safety.
The traffic control department reminded that it is not advisable to stop and punch in and shoot at will. Illegal parking not only affects the traffic order, but also may lead to traffic accidents, especially in mountainous areas with narrow roads and sharp bends, which is more likely to cause serious traffic accidents. When driving on the expressway, you can’t illegally occupy the emergency lane to park vehicles, so as to avoid affecting the passage of rescue vehicles. The traffic control department will impose a fine on the driver in 200 yuan in accordance with the law for driving a motor vehicle and parking the vehicle in violation of regulations. For driving a motor vehicle in an emergency lane or parking in a non-emergency situation, the traffic control department will impose a fine on the driver in 200 yuan according to law, and record 6 points for the driver’s license.

At the same time, you should not be distracted by enjoying the scenery while driving. When driving, the driver should keep his attention, see beautiful scenery outside the car and on the roadside during driving, and can’t be distracted to enjoy the scenery or shoot with his mobile phone. At the same time, avoid behaviors that affect safe driving, such as answering phone calls, sending messages, debugging navigation or chatting with fellow passengers. In addition, people in the same car should be reminded not to lean out of the car to watch the scenery or take photos to avoid danger. The traffic control department will impose a fine on the driver in 200 yuan according to law for making and receiving hand-held phone calls and watching TV, which will hinder safe driving, and the driver’s license will be scored 3 points. If a passenger sticks any part of his body out of the car while driving, the traffic control department will impose a fine on the passenger in 10 yuan according to law.
In spring, when enjoying flowers and going hiking, individual drivers often slow down when passing through scenic sections. At the same time, they will also let fellow passengers take photos, but this behavior will inevitably hinder the normal operation of traffic and even cause rear-end accidents. The traffic control department will impose a fine on the driver in 200 yuan according to law for driving a motor vehicle on expressways and urban expressways at a speed lower than the prescribed minimum speed, and the driver’s license will be scored 3 points.
Reminder 2
Don’t stop at the driveway or intersection for taking pictures.
For pedestrians, it is also necessary to pay attention to traffic safety when punching out. In the work, the traffic control department found that many tourists had uncivilized or even traffic violations in order to find a good shooting angle, which not only hindered the smooth operation of traffic, but also brought hidden dangers to their own safety.
In September, 2022, some photographers ignored the warning signs and clearly reminded them that "photography is forbidden in the crosswalk", and still gathered at the intersection to photograph the "hanging sun" landscape of the new Shougang Bridge (data map).

The traffic control department reminded that pedestrians should also go their own way, and there will be perfect angle when enjoying the scenery, and the framing should not be arbitrary and illegal. In order to choose the best "filming" perspective, individual tourists choose the shooting location in non-motor vehicle lanes or even motor vehicle lanes, which increases the risk of traffic accidents for themselves and passing drivers when they think there is no danger. Remind tourists not to enter the non-motor vehicle lane or motor vehicle lane to stop and shoot.
The traffic control department said that according to the Road Traffic Safety Law and relevant regulations, the traffic control department will warn pedestrians or impose fines on 5 yuan and 50 yuan according to law for the following illegal acts: pedestrians violate traffic signals, fail to walk on the sidewalk or fail to walk by the roadside according to regulations; Passing the intersection or crossing the road without taking the crosswalk or crossing facilities; Sitting, lying, staying or frolicking in the driveway.
The traffic control department said that the crosswalk is not a scenic spot, and it can’t stay for a long time because of taking pictures. Such behavior will have a huge impact on other pedestrians and motor vehicles in the past. The traffic control department reminds you that you should pass through the crosswalk in an orderly and quick way, without stopping or running around. While enjoying the convenience of "car letting people", you should not hinder other pedestrians or motor vehicles from passing normally. According to "Road Traffic Safety Law" and related regulations, the traffic control department will give a warning to pedestrians or impose a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan if they enter the intersection without being released by traffic signals.
There are also some tourists looking for some unique shooting angles for "filming", not only climbing over road guardrails and isolation belts, sitting on guardrails, but even climbing to public facilities to take some "unique" scenery. The traffic control department reminded that this behavior not only disrupts traffic order, but also is suspected of traffic violations. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, if pedestrians cross, lean on road isolation facilities, pick up cars, forcibly stop cars or carry out other acts that hinder road traffic safety, the traffic control department will give pedestrians a warning or impose a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan according to law.
Reminder 3
When riding, chasing each other and racing in twists and turns, the traffic police can be fined according to law.
With the "cycling fever" heating up gradually, uncivilized and traffic violations such as parking at will, taking photos while riding, and cyclists pursuing speed efficiency and breaking into motor vehicle lanes also have great security risks.
The traffic control department reminds that non-motor vehicle drivers should ride in non-motor vehicle lanes. If there is no non-motor vehicle lane, they should drive on the right side of the roadway. Do not ride on the sidewalk, and do not occupy the motor vehicle lane. No matter whether it is an intersection or a road section, you are not allowed to drive in the opposite direction.

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, the traffic control department will give drivers a warning or a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan according to law for the following illegal acts: non-motor vehicles pass through crosswalks, overpasses and underpasses without getting off the bus, and pass by bike; Driving a non-motor vehicle in violation of the provisions of the motor vehicle lane, parking detention; Driving a non-motor vehicle on a road without a designated non-motor vehicle lane, without relying on the right side of the roadway; Driving a non-motor vehicle in the reverse direction in the non-motor vehicle lane.
There are also some cyclists who see the beautiful scenery along the way, temporarily stop, or even park their cars on the road at will, take a look at the side and punch in, blocking non-motor vehicle lanes or pedestrian walkways, affecting the passage of other vehicles. The traffic control department reminds that when non-motor vehicles are parked, they should be parked in parking lots or designated non-motor vehicle parking areas; Without non-motor vehicle parking facilities, vehicle parking shall not affect road traffic. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, the traffic control department will give the driver a warning or a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan according to law for driving a non-motor vehicle to park it in a no-parking area.
On the road, some citizens and tourists will lift their mobile phones to take photos and record videos while riding, slow down and change their tracks, causing the cycling team on the road to drive slowly. The traffic control department reminded that you should also avoid making phone calls and operating hand-held electronic devices during riding. It is not easy to keep balance when driving a non-motor vehicle with one hand, and you can’t take evasive measures in time in case of emergency, which is very prone to traffic accidents.
According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, the traffic control department will give drivers a warning or a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan according to law for the following illegal acts: driving a non-motor vehicle to tow, climbing a vehicle or being towed by other vehicles, leaving hands off the handle or holding things in their hands; Driving a non-motor vehicle on the road distracts attention and hinders safe driving.
The traffic control department also reminded some cycling enthusiasts that the road is not an arena. Non-motor vehicle drivers should avoid chasing each other or racing in twists and turns regardless of whether riding on urban roads or mountain roads, and blindly pursue acceleration, such as sudden pedestrians and vehicles that temporarily change lanes, which may cause serious accidents. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law and related regulations, the traffic control department will give the driver a warning or impose a fine of more than 5 yuan and less than 50 yuan for driving non-motor vehicles in parallel, chasing each other or racing in twists and turns.
