Starting in 2017, the city's traffic management department adopted a "progressive law enforcement" model for pedestrians violating road traffic laws and regulations. This is the first time a pedestrian commits an illegal act. The public security police will educate him and conduct a second Warning, the third time to punish in accordance with the law.

I think I cancel this "progressive law enforcement". If this kind of law enforcement directly imposes fines, then everyone will pay more attention to their own interests. After all, verbal warnings are much longer than fines. I think fines can be longer. memory.

We recommend that pedestrians abide by traffic laws and regulations, do not cross the road in a mess, and travel civilized. Well, the nationwide special campaign of "one helmet and one belt" is being implemented nationwide. We also recommend that battery car cyclists wear helmets to travel, and motor vehicle drivers and vehicle occupants can wear seat belts to travel safely.
