App and guides to reduce traffic jams
Print Edition
CHANGNING is improving its transportation system amid a citywide crackdown on traffic violations in Shanghai.
One of the measures district authorities have adopted is the introduction of the navigation and traffic app “Changning Traffic.” The app is able to personalize routes for users to avoid the worst traffic. It recommends trips and departure times and provides automatic, intelligent alerts to keep users aware of the conditions on the roads of Changing.
It monitors road conditions to determine the best time to leave and the optimal route to take based on real-time traffic and a driver’s preferred routes.
The app uses crowd-sourced data at a massive scale to collect real-time traffic data to proactively manage users’ commute.
It won’t leave drivers wondering where to park but finds driveways automatically so that users can drive directly to the entrance and quickly park their cars.
It recommends the best place to park based on users’ location and even personalizes options that suit users’ parking needs for any occasion.
At the same time, Changning police printed out 250,000 pieces of Changning parking guides and distributed them among drivers in the district. The guides are available at community and office buildings.
Traffic officers distribute the guides to drivers when they carry out their duties or punish traffic violations.
“Parking violations are a major target of the ongoing crackdown on traffic violations,” said Zhuang Jun, second-in-command of Changning traffic police.
The guide is also available at the counters of Changning traffic police and local police stations.
Changning traffic authorities also waged a public campaign to eradicate bad habits of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians and to restore traffic order.
Hundreds of residents made a pledge to abide by traffic rules by signing their names on a banner.
Changning police also made leaflets of traffic rules in Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean and distributed them to expats. Teachers and students from two international schools in Changning helped officers as volunteers.
A three-month enforcement campaign aims to reduce traffic congestion across the city.
