不妨从“红绿灯”下的细节入手

现在似乎有这样一种感觉：媒体报道的一些社会现象，一旦冠以“中国式”的标签，就成了“脏、乱、差”的代名词。比如，“中国式过马路”反映出的人车矛盾，就让人感叹，其背后的路权之争何时是尽头？     

“中国式过马路”，期待以法律手段加强治理

交通违章是道路安全的一大隐患。在醉酒驾车方面，我们可以拿血泪来控诉之前的醉驾惩罚之轻；在交通肇事方面，我们可以要求以新规来结束对“马路杀手”的间接纵容。但说起行人违章，总是令人难以下狠心惩戒。“中国式过马路”的热议，再次把行人违章惩戒的问题推到法律面前。     

治理“中国式过马路”不能一罚了之

《民主与法制》2013年第13期刊登了《“中国式过马路”的罚与教》，对治理“中国式过马路”进行了探讨。针对一些地方对“中国式过马路”开罚的现实，文章认为，破解“中国式过马路”，不能单纯依靠自觉和说教，也不能依赖于严刑峻法，如何在尊重个人自由和确保公共空间禁忌之间找到一个合理的度，适当使用公权力和行政、法律手段，是当代社会管理的一门精妙学问。     

解决“中国式”过马路

最近,网络热议"中国式"过马路问题,对行人不按信号灯过马路提出批评。行人不遵守交通信号,随意过马路的行为确实是我国各个城市普遍存在的一种不文明行为,它不仅影响车辆正常通行,造成一定程度的拥堵,还给行人带来严重的安全隐患。但是,解决问题不能仅看表面现象,应抓住矛盾的本质,探究引起问题的真正原因,方可找出有效解决措施。除了行人的安全意识不够等主观原因外,造成行人不遵守交通信号随意过马路还有以下几个客观原因:     

话题

【北京即日起带头闯红灯者将被罚款10元】北京交管部门表示，4月9日起将严查行人及非机动车违法，严格整治“中国式过马路”行为。交管局官员表示，行人强行闯灯并对周边行人造成带动作用，此类行为必须处罚。     

谈“中国式过马路”的杭州治理模式

“中国式过马路”，是国民素质与公共管理均滞后于社会发展的产物。根据“中国式过马路”问题的实质和成因，杭州市着力构建以“宣、改、管、治”四头并进为主体的治理模式，实施严管重罚、规范设施、宣传教育的治理策略。应在个人诚信体系建设、完善过街设施、深化宣传教育等方面，探索长效机制建设。     

“中国式过马路”再反思

“凑够一撮人就可以走了，和红绿灯无关。”部分国人集体闯红灯的现象被网友称之为“中国式过马路”，话语之间透出无奈的调侃和反讽。中国式过马路危害公共交通秩序，蕴藏着巨大的危险，既是一种社会陋习，更是一种违法行为，已然演化成为我国城市治理与交通管理的沉疴痼疾。     

整治“不文明过马路”宁波样本

违法成本低，执法成本高，在所有交通违法行为中，不文明过马路行为是公认“难啃”的“硬骨头”。今年3月以来，浙江省宁波市交警部门重拳打击不文明过马路行为，截至目前，仅海曙、江东、江北、鄞州四个区，就有5300多名行人因为闯红灯和过马路不走人行横道线受到处罚。     

“法不责众”的思考

最近一段时间,“中国式过马路”这个词在互联网迅速火爆起来。所谓的“中国式过马路”是对我国的很多城市都有普遍存在的行人集体闯红灯现象的一种凋侃,即“凑够一撮人就可以走了,和红绿灯无关。”中央电视台曾在河北石家庄的商业圈调查采访发现,在1个小时内有约600人闯红灯过马路。路口的红绿灯几乎形同虚设。而随着这个新兴词汇被越来越多人讨论和关注,北京、浙江等省市也开始逐步地重视对闯红灯现象的监管,并出台相关的处罚规定。
