It is before our eyes again

Recently, a thrilling incident occurred

A 9-year-old boy in Shenzhen was on his way home from school.

Got hit on a zebra crossing

What is going on?

Let’s take a look

Around 11:50 am on May 26

It was the time after school at noon.

A 9-year-old boy was crossing the road

Hit on a zebra crossing

In that lightning flash

The two participants in the accident

This is their perspective

9-year-old student Wu said that he walked to the zebra crossing and saw a small truck parked there, blocking his view of the car. Suddenly, a car rushed out and hit him and "flew" away...

Injured primary school student

Fortunately, nothing serious happened

The owner of the car, Mr. Zou, said that he saw no one on the zebra crossing from a distance, only a small truck parked next to it, and who knew that a student ran out from in front of the truck...

One didn't see the car

One person was not seen

So what was the cause of this accident?

Whose responsibility is it?

The cause of the accident was found

Be alert to these issues!

After watching the video

You should have discovered it.

There was a "third person" in this accident

This is the small truck.

After the collision

The truck driver left because he was in a hurry to deliver the goods.

Little did we know that things were far from that simple.

Shenzhen traffic police confirmed after investigation

Cause: Trucks parked illegally in the yellow square, creating a visual blind spot

The truck driver He said that he parked his truck in the yellow square for the convenience of unloading. This behavior led to the formation of a visual blind spot, and the victim Wu could not see the oncoming car; the perpetrator Zou encountered a "ghost poking his head".

As everyone knows, parking is not allowed in Huangfangge, but He parked his car here!

Direct cause: Cars do not slow down or give way to pedestrians at zebra crossings

Give way to pedestrians at zebra crossings and do not overtake vehicles ahead of you

I believe everyone understands this principle

But when it comes to execution

Some people still blatantly ignore

Wait, is it that hard?

Let's take a look

Traffic accidents caused by not giving way to pedestrians at zebra crossings

👇

The red vehicle was driving too fast and the vehicle on the left blocked its blind spot, causing a collision with a pedestrian crossing the zebra crossing.

This traffic accident

It also sounded a wake-up call for us

Shenzhen Traffic Police Reminder

When driving, you must pay attention to the following issues

Yield Here To Peds

When passing through zebra crossings, drivers must "stop when someone is around, slow down when no one is around, and give way actively."

In this case, although Zou's vision was blocked by the small truck, he did not give way to pedestrians and did not slow down at all in front of the zebra crossing. This was the most direct cause of the accident, and Zou must bear full responsibility.

Regulatory links——

The "Regulations on Punishment for Road Traffic Safety Violations in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone" stipulates that if a person passes a crosswalk without a traffic light or a crosswalk with a green traffic light and fails to slow down or stop to avoid pedestrians crossing, he or she will be fined RMB 500.

So

How should motor vehicles give way to others?

1. When pedestrians are walking on the right side of the road and have not reached the center line of the road, motor vehicles A and B traveling on the left side of the road should slow down and may cross the crosswalk while ensuring safety.

2. When pedestrians are waiting outside the separation line between the motor vehicle lane and the non-motor vehicle lane and have not entered the motor vehicle lane, motor vehicles A and B should slow down and may cross the crosswalk while ensuring safety.

3. If a pedestrian crosses the dividing line between the motor vehicle lane and the non-motor vehicle lane and enters the above-mentioned position, and motor vehicles A and B do not stop to give way, it is an illegal act and should be punished.

4. After pedestrians enter the lane where motor vehicle A is located along the crosswalk, motor vehicle B shall slow down and may pass through the crosswalk under the premise of ensuring safety; if motor vehicle A fails to stop to give way, it shall be deemed an illegal act and shall be punished.

5. If pedestrians wait on the center line of the road and do not enter the lane where motor vehicles A and B are located, and motor vehicles A and B do not stop to give way, it is an illegal act and should be punished.

6. If a pedestrian crosses the center line of the road and enters the lane where motor vehicles A and B are located, and motor vehicles A and B do not stop to give way, it is an illegal act and should be punished.

7. A green belt is used to separate the middle of the road. If pedestrians are waiting in the central stopping area of ​​the road, motor vehicles A and B should slow down and may pass through the crosswalk while ensuring safety.

8. If a pedestrian is walking on a crosswalk on a road where motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles mix, and motor vehicle A does not stop to give way, it is an illegal act and should be punished; motor vehicle B may pass through the crosswalk under the premise of ensuring safety.

While “giving way to people”

Pedestrians are also requested to remember: "Cars give way to pedestrians, pedestrians should walk quickly"

Do not stay on the zebra crossing

Pass quickly while ensuring safety

In addition, if children in the family walk to and from school

Parents need to educate their children more

When crossing a zebra crossing, pay attention to the vehicles oncoming.

Be more cautious if your vision is blocked.

Walk slowly, look around, and react promptly

Don't run out from the front or back of the car suddenly

To avoid unexpected disasters

It is prohibited to park in the yellow squares. Please refuse to park illegally!

The yellow square is a prohibition marking, indicating that parking is prohibited for any reason in this area. It is mainly set up at intersections without traffic lights, entrances and exits of hospitals, schools, etc. When encountering a queue of vehicles ahead, the driver should consciously wait outside the yellow square.

at last

These are the things parents need to teach their children!

Don't rush across the road

"Use zebra crossings when crossing the road", "Stop when the light is red, go when the light is green" ... these are principles that children often hear and understand.

But in real life, not all places where people can cross the street have traffic lights, and even when walking on a zebra crossing, there are great safety risks if there are behaviors such as running, rushing, suddenly accelerating, or turning back in the middle of the road.

Try not to cross the road on the side where there are parked vehicles.

It is common to see cars parked on the roadside, but it is very dangerous to cross the road from these places because the parked cars will block the driver's view of oncoming vehicles. If you suddenly run out from in front of or between these cars, the oncoming vehicles behind you will not have time to react.

remind

Safety first, don’t ignore it!
