Let the fitness space better meet the needs of the elderly
A "Henan Zhoukou, a walking team forced to stop the vehicle, ignoring the traffic lights walking" video, triggered the netizens hot debate. The video shows that a flag-carrying, uniformed team, with the music in the motorway walking, to the crosswalk also turned around, all directions of the vehicle can only stop and wait. The traffic light changed three times, this walking team to finish. In this regard, the local traffic brigade said it will be investigated and dealt with.
According to the relevant provisions of China's road traffic safety law, pedestrians, riders, non-motorized vehicle drivers in violation of road traffic safety laws and regulations on road traffic regulations, impose a warning or a fine of more than five yuan fifty yuan. Walking team occupies the motorway, violating the traffic rules, combined with the circumstances of the violation and the grass-roots traffic police enforcement of the actual situation, the most common way to deal with may be to give criticism warning.
Perhaps some would argue for a fine to raise the cost of their offense. Of course, there are also people who believe that the walking team is a group to disrupt the public **** traffic order, belonging to the public security violations, can be dealt with according to the relevant provisions of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, so that the punishment is stronger, the deterrent effect is stronger. This point of view can not say that there is no reason, but I am afraid it will be difficult to implement. First of all, walking members of less than a dozen people, more than dozens of hundreds of people, the face of so many people, the limited street police force can not control the situation is a huge challenge, not to mention the fine. Secondly, the walking team violated the Road Traffic Act, the traffic police do have the discretion to warn and fine, but if not warned, up on the fine, on the one hand, it is difficult to convince the public, and on the other hand, also contrary to the original intent of the legislation. Finally, the walking members are mostly middle-aged and elderly people, to collect fines from them, the cost of law enforcement may far exceed the proceeds of fines, and the effect may not be ideal.
When dealing with this kind of problem, the traffic police can join hands with the city management to enforce the law, because the walking team not only illegally occupies the motorway, but also has a long-term noise nuisance problem. In law enforcement, in accordance with the principle of "who organizes, who is responsible for", focusing on walking activity organizers to give warnings and advice and corresponding penalties, through the management of the walking team of the "key minority", the responsibility of complying with the law of walking activities to release the "rule of law + self-government". "The rule of law + self-governance" of the greatest governance effect, to avoid letting the walking team become "illegal team" "nuisance group".
However, even if this is handled in this way, it is only a stopgap measure. Walking team illegal occupation of the motorway, noise nuisance things often in the newspaper. News monitoring, public opinion criticism, traffic police warnings, expert appeals, seems to exhaust the means, but still can not prevent similar things again. This shows that the problem has not been solved from the root, so in the face of such urban governance stubborn, to switch from the treatment of thinking to governance thinking, more in the root of the problem on the work.
Why do walking teams illegally occupy motorways, is it that they don't know the traffic law? Is it their superstitious belief that the law is not responsible? These inquiries have some truth, but not in these inquiries, avoided a larger reality: if the walking team does not illegally occupy the motorway, where else can they go? In other words, is the city providing enough space for middle-aged and elderly people to work out and relax?
Walking teams are illegally occupying motorways, and in some cities the elderly are competing with teenagers for activity space. At first glance, these are traffic and security issues, but when you think about it more y, they are in fact old age and people's livelihoods issues. These problems stem from the aging of the population at the moment, many cities in the public **** fitness facilities and space and not in time to do a good job of aging transformation, unable to meet the explosive growth of the elderly in fitness and leisure needs.
Middle-aged and elderly people want to fitness, want to pursue a better quality of life, this is a normal and reasonable demand, should be given enough attention and meet. If the middle-aged and elderly people want to walk in a group must occupy the motorway, want to dance in the square must compete with teenagers, such urban fitness facilities and space supply is unfriendly and unfair to the middle-aged and elderly people.
Therefore, in front of the city governors more worthy of thinking about the problem, not how to deal with the elderly because of the leisure and fitness conflict caused by the problems and contradictions, but how to effectively promote the transformation of the city aging, in order to create more fitness space and facilities to meet the needs of the middle-aged and elderly people, so that they can enjoy a healthy life in their twilight years. Urban governors need more upstream thinking, more in the middle-aged and elderly leisure and fitness needs on the supply side of the approach, do articles, so as to realize the source of governance.
