  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter

  The electric car parked at the gate of the community "missed its wings", and no one was notified of its whereabouts for a long time. It turned out to be towed away by the city management; the fine standard was chaotic and rose from 50 yuan to 100 yuan without relevant procedures; a lot of money was fined. The governance effect is not obvious...

  A reporter from "Xinhua Viewpoint" recently followed up with the staff of the 13th Supervision Team of the Eighth Supervision of the State Council on an unannounced visit to Fengwen Street, Chongqing City. .

The owner is not informed when the vehicle is towed away, and there are a large number of unowned vehicles in the parking lot

  "I went out of the community and saw someone towing an electric car on the side of the road, and found that one of them was actually mine." Ms. Huang, a Chongqing citizen who lives in Xuefu Yueyuan Community, Shapingba District, ran into her own car when she was out shopping for vegetables in the early morning of September 1st. The car was towed away.

  The urban management law enforcement officer of the tow truck said that she did so because she did not park the car within the designated road area. According to the regulations, she was required to pay a fine and then go to a nearby parking place to pick up the car.

  Ms. Huang paid a fine of 100 yuan for her ID, and got the car ticket after pressing her fingerprint.

"When I went to pay the money, I met several car owners, all of whom were punished for parking violations."

  She walked around asking for directions for more than 20 minutes, and finally found the parking place in the mouth of the urban management law enforcement officers.

Wading on the dirt road again, it was hard to find his car among the densely parked vehicles.

  Ms. Huang was rather upset: "How much is a battery car? A fine of 100 yuan for one violation!" To her even more annoyance, she towed away the car without giving any notice.

"If I didn't bump into it, I must have thought the car had been stolen."

  The reporter learned that Ms. Huang's experience is not unique.

Some electric car owners also complained that the car was inadvertently moved out of the grid line by passers-by, and a ticket was also issued.

In addition, it is very inconvenient to go to the designated parking lot and the bank that pays the fine.

  More importantly, because they were not notified, many car owners did not know where their car had gone. Some people even realized that the car was pulled away by the city management staff after calling the 110 police.

At the parking lot mentioned by Ms. Huang, the management told reporters that the car owner needs to pay the fee from the city management on weekdays from Monday to Friday, and get the car with the pick-up sheet.

However, a considerable number of cars have been unclaimed for months and have been parked here.

  The reporter saw that the open-air parking area was about 2,000 square meters, and the only small road could see puddles from time to time, and nearly a thousand cars stacked among the weeds.

Wind and sun combined with rain washing, some vehicles crowded inside have been damaged.

The fine will go up if it goes up, and the governance effect is not obvious

  It is understood that the 100 yuan fine was implemented this year.

In mid-July, Fengwen Street stipulated that the amount of fines for illegal parking of electric vehicles was adjusted from 50 yuan to 100 yuan.

Many citizens questioned the reasons for the increase in fines.

  The relevant person in charge of Shapingba District in Chongqing said that Fengwen Street has a large population and a large number of electric vehicles. Irregular parking behavior will adversely affect pedestrian safety, smooth traffic, and the passage of emergency vehicles such as ambulances.

To this end, Fengwen Street has designated a parking area for electric vehicles.

  For related violations, Fengwen Sub-district previously imposed a fine of 50 yuan, which began to rise to 100 yuan on July 15.

The supervision team believes that the establishment and increase of the fines have not followed procedures such as publicity.

  "I think the effect of the governance is not obvious after so many cars have been fined." Mr. Nie, a resident of Xuefu Yueyuan Community, said that there are so many people and cars nearby that it is almost impossible for everyone to put their cars in the parking spaces. , The overall number of designated parking spaces is insufficient.

Many businesses around the community said that after returning home from get off work, there are still many vehicles that are forced to park outside of the parking spaces.

  Data show that in 2020, Fengwen Street will punished more than 2,000 cases of illegal parking of electric vehicles in the whole year, with a fine of 99,000 yuan.

Since the beginning of this year, as of September 1, the number of penalties on Fengwen Street has exceeded 2,000, and the fine has exceeded 100,000 yuan, but it has failed to effectively curb the trend of illegal parking.

City management should highlight precision and flexibility

  The inspection team stated that this method has a clear tendency to impose escrow.

The one-sided strengthening of administrative penalties and the increase of fines, and the lack of flexible law enforcement such as criticism and education have caused the masses to come with grievances and walk away with anger, and the two sides have more conflicts.

  To solve the problem of random parking of electric vehicles, the key is to reasonably delimit the parking area and balance the traffic order with the demands of the people for parking convenience.

Even if the price is raised, it is necessary to publicly listen to opinions, fully demonstrate, and not to make decisions.

  The supervision team suggested that the basis for law enforcement should be further studied, law enforcement standards should be clarified, law enforcement behaviors should be standardized, law enforcement personnel training should be strengthened, hardware facilities should be appropriately improved, the implementation of electronic payment methods should be accelerated, bank branches should be reasonably set up, and parking spaces should be increased in accordance with the law.

  The relevant person in charge of Shapingba District said that all the comments made by the supervision team will be accepted as a single form, and rectification will be implemented immediately.

It is necessary to draw inferences and investigate relevant issues at the district level; strengthen the training of law enforcement personnel, carry out law enforcement activities with awe, people’s heart, empathy, and tolerance; further regulate law enforcement behavior and improve law enforcement accuracy; strengthen the hardware aspects Management, reducing the time and energy cost of the masses.

  Electric vehicles are an important means of transportation for ordinary people, but problems such as irregular use and parking have become increasingly prominent. It is urgent to strengthen management and strengthen cross-departmental coordination.

  At present, although relevant management requirements have been issued in many places, there is still a lack of unified standards. In some places, law enforcement is rude and management is chaotic, which has become a hot topic on the Internet from time to time.

  The inspection team suggested that relevant departments should further investigate the use of electric vehicles nationwide, study and improve related management methods such as driving and parking, and promote the rule of law, standardization and scientification of electric vehicle management.
