It’s hard to cross the road! At 6:00 p.m. yesterday (1st) in Dali District, Taichung City, a grandma was pushing a baby carriage to cross the road, and waited for nearly a minute on the side of the road, but none of the 13 cars and motorcycles that turned left were willing. Stopping to be courteous, grandma waited from the green light to the red light, and finally had no choice but to retreat to the intersection, waiting for the next opportunity to cross the road. The exposure of the sad video made netizens angrily say “true pedestrian hell”.
It can be seen from the monitor screen that a grandma is pushing a stroller with a baby on it, and is about to cross the road at the T-shaped intersection of Renhua Road and Chenggong 2nd Road. The cars and locomotives that were turning passed by grandma one after another. There were 6 locomotives and 7 cars in total, and none of them were willing to stop and give way. Grandma waited for a minute at the end, and the signal light had turned from green. Back at the red light, I had no choice but to retreat to the side of the road and wait for the next opportunity to cross the road.
In this regard, the Taichung City Wufeng Police Department stated that if vehicles fail to suspend pedestrians at the intersection for violations, they can be fined between 1,200 yuan and 3,600 yuan in accordance with Article 44, Item 2 of the “Road Traffic Management Penalty Regulations”. Car and motorcycle drivers should slow down and give priority to pedestrians in accordance with regulations when passing through crosswalks, so as to maintain the safety of pedestrians.
