Hebei News Net (correspondent Liu Xun): “We feel at ease with those traffic lights when crossing the road.” said the pedestrians. Recently, a mobile traffic light was set on the sidewalk near the east gate of Bohai Mingzhu Community in Haigang District, which is praised by the citizens.
Ms. Sun has lived in Bohai Mingzhu Community for 8 years. She used to accompany her grandson to Xinyilu Primary School crossing Hebei Street, and they have to go through the sidewalk near the east gate of the community everyday. Hebei Street is a busy main road in Haigang District. Because there is no traffic light on this road, Ms. Sun always feels worried when she crosses the road with her grandson. “We are all expecting traffic lights or speed bumps to be set up here, so that we can feel at ease when crossing the road.” said Ms. Sun.
Today, the movable traffic lights flashing in the middle of the sidewalk make Ms. Sun feel at ease. On October 29, the reporter learned from the municipal traffic police detachment that in order to effectively maintain traffic order and ensure the safety of the pedestrians, the traffic control department will install movable traffic lights on the 9 sidewalks in Haigang District. Up to now, the movable traffic lights have been installed on the sidewalk in Hebei Street near the east gate of Bohai Mingzhu Community, and the sidewalk 200 meters northwest to the intersection of Haida Road and West Beihuan Road. The other 7 will be installed soon.
The seven locations where movable signal lights will be installed are located on the sidewalks at the intersection of Yanshan Street and Jiansheng Road, the intersection of Xigang Road and Yuren Street, the intersection of Beihuan Road and Jiansheng Road, the intersection of East Qinhuang Street and West Yingbin Road, the north section of the intersection of Yanshan Street and Donggang Road, in front of Qumei Furniture Store in Haiyang Road, and in front of the Haigang District Government Building in Qinhuang Street.
