Couriers to be named and shamed over traffic offense
Print Edition
COMPANIES offering delivery services will be named and shamed if traffic offenses committed by their staff surpass a certain number, police in Huangpu District said yesterday.
Police hope the move, part of a three-month citywide campaign against traffic offenses, will encourage firms to educate their staff to think twice before running red lights, using motor lanes or riding in the wrong direction.
Ten companies delivering food or mail, including SF Express, YTO Express, STO Express and meituan.com, have signed a pledge with Huangpu police.
According to the agreement, when the number of recorded offenses reaches 100 in a month, the company will be named and shamed on Huangpu Police’s social network accounts.
Companies registering over 30 offences will be visited and “lectured” by the police, and if a company’s drivers commit more than 50 offenses, their boss will be summoned to the local police station “for a talk.”
Yesterday in Pudong, over 200 representatives of mail delivery stations attended an event organized by the local police promoting strict adherence to the traffic rules.
Lu Shangchuan, a manager from the Pudong branch of Yunda Express, which also signed the agreement with Huangpu police, told Shanghai Daily that his company is considering additional punishments to deter drivers from breaking the rules.
“If we get the notice of the offense from the police, we will make certain deductions on the employee’s salary,” he said.
A delivery man surnamed Hao of ele.me, a food delivery company, showed Shanghai Daily a stack of tickets he received from the police recently.
“In most cases I got fined for using motor lanes because either I was unaware of the rules on certain streets or failed to see the signs, or I was in a hurry,” he said.
“I have learned a lot about traffic rules after all those fines, and I will try to observe the rules even though it means that I’ll be less productive and make less money.”
Hao said his company, unlike some of its competitors, never offers to pay for employees’ tickets.
“Companies are capitalists, and we have to take care of ourselves,” he said.
