The first riding indicator screen in Beijing has been put into use. Turn left at the intersection directly once! Tested by reporters——

Generally speaking, at most intersections, if non motor vehicles want to turn left, they need to wait two times for the red light to turn a right angle.

But the new riding indicator screen at the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge, West Second Ring Road, allows cyclists to wait for a light and go directly to the diagonally opposite side of the road.

The reporter from Beijing Daily (ID: Beijing_Daily) learned that this is the first riding indicator screen set up in Beijing and has been in use for more than 100 days.

What is the implementation effect? Do many people know it? Can riders and pedestrians follow the new order of traffic guidance? The reporter went to the scene to visit the newly added indicator screen, which distinguished the turning and straight driving of non motor vehicles, increasing the traffic efficiency.

Experience: Just wait once when you turn left to cross the intersection.

Yesterday afternoon, a reporter from Beijing Daily (ID: Beijing_Daily) saw at the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge that, in addition to the traffic signal lights, a group of special riding indicator screens were hung on the light poles in the north and south directions.

On the screen, there are icons representing non motor vehicles, as well as left turn and straight arrow.

When a non motor vehicle is waiting for a red light, the arrow on the indicator screen is also red.

When the vehicle can turn left, the left turn arrow on the indicator screen will also turn green.

This means that at this intersection, the left turn of non motor vehicles is no longer the same as that of pedestrians.

You need to wait for two traffic lights to turn a right angle, but the same way as that of motor vehicles.

Compared with other intersections, it is not difficult to find that this change greatly facilitates pedestrians.

For example, at an ordinary intersection, when non motor vehicles drive from south to west, they need to wait for a red light at the southeast corner of the intersection, drive to the northeast corner, and then wait for a red light, and drive from the northeast corner to the northwest corner.

The most embarrassing area is the northeast corner of the intersection.

When waiting for the east-west release here, the cyclists are not properly positioned, which often blocks the north-south straight lane.

In the riding experience at the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge, the reporter felt that the change of turning left directly greatly saved time and avoided the embarrassment of blocking north-south non motorized lanes due to turning right angles and other red lights.

At the same time, in the process of turning left, there are fewer intersections with pedestrians, and only roads are used for special purposes, so pedestrians don’t have to look left and right anymore.

“I think this change is unique and helps us save a lot of time.” A reporter from Beijing Daily (ID: Beijing_Daily) found that since the trial implementation of the riding indicator screen, most cyclists who pass this intersection have adapted to this change, and the takeout workers who compete for minutes and seconds are the most deeply touched.

The intersection is adjacent to the Financial Street.

During the noon and evening peak hours, there are many white collars ordering meals around, and the takeout boy has become the “mainstream” on the non motorway.

A delivery boy said that he had to wait for two lights when turning left.

Waiting for a few minutes was nothing for ordinary people, but for them, they could save a few minutes to deliver the delivery faster.

“I used to go against the road ahead of time in order to not wait for two lights.

I also knew it was dangerous to do so.

If the intersections could turn left directly in the future, we could do a lot of work better.” The plan: The multi bridge district will also implement the new changes in cycling that the citizens concerned about, which is one of the links in Beijing’s efforts to build the urban slow traffic system.

The reporter learned from Beijing Traffic Management Bureau that the optimization of the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge started in November last year.

At present, there are 6 intersections in Beijing where cyclists can turn left directly, and 5 other intersections are located around Houchang Village.

Among the six intersections, Yuetan North Bridge was the first to install an electronic riding indicator screen.

It can be said that this is the first and only group of riding indicator screens in Beijing.

After the optimization of the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge, the waiting time for the red light was shortened by 14%, and the traffic volume was increased by 14%.

Fan Yongqiang, head of the Science and Information Office of the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, introduced to the Beijing Daily (ID: Beijing _Daily) that among the six intersections where non motor vehicles turn left directly, Yuetan North Bridge is positioned as a demonstration intersection.

In addition to the installation of riding indicator screen, the signal has been upgraded recently from 16 phase to 24 phase to ensure one light and one phase.

In order to ensure the safety of pedestrians crossing the road, the timing has also been optimized accordingly, which means that the motor vehicle starts 15 seconds late to turn right and then flashes yellow, so as to avoid the conflict between right turning vehicles and pedestrians, and allow pedestrians enough time to pass the intersection safely.

Fan Yongqiang said that in the 2021 reconstruction plan, taking the intersection of Yuetan North Bridge as the template, the optimization of equipment and facilities related to the urban slow traffic system will extend from the West Second Ring Road to the Northwest Second Ring Road, and is expected to be implemented in three to four bridge areas.
