On the first day of school, roads are still being built around some schools in Guangzhou, so the traffic is inconvenient and there are hidden dangers.

?

  On September 1st, the first day of primary and secondary schools in Guangzhou, the morning rush hour of traffic at the school gate followed.

  However, many parents from different districts in Guangzhou reported to Nanfang Daily and Nanfang+reporters that the traffic around many schools is worrying, on the one hand, there is congestion during students’ school hours, on the other hand, many construction sections of school roads also pose security risks to students going to and from school.

Municipal construction materials are placed at the entrance of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, and students take the motorway after school.

  The reporter visited the roads around primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Yuexiu and Panyu, Guangzhou, and found that there are hidden dangers in many school sections. Some citizens expressed their hope to strengthen management in the construction area and quickly optimize the roads around the campus. At the same time, the situation of not following the traffic lights should be promptly diverted to ensure the safety of students’ travel during peak hours.

  After the road was closed, the "send to school" team lined up for 100 meters, and students rode and motor vehicles grabbed the road.

  On the first day of school on September 1, early in the morning, the gate of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School in Dongshankou, Yuexiu District was blocked, and the motorcade to send the children was lined up for hundreds of meters. Mr. Wang, the parent, told the reporter that after sending the children, he waited for nearly half an hour before driving out of the inner lane and entering the road.

  "Originally, the one-way line of Sibei Tongjin in Dongshankou was very narrow, and the road closure construction affected the traffic." Mr. Wang said that Sibei Tongjin Road leads to Dadao Road. Because of the pipeline route transformation along the route, vehicles need to turn left when passing through the entrance of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, because the road is narrow and the traffic efficiency is not high.

  At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the reporter came to the gate of Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, and the parents who picked up the children from school gathered around the school gate. Many vehicles that picked up the children stopped at the roadside. The reporter saw at the scene that the sidewalk on the left side of the school gate was filled with construction pipes and bricks, and students after school had to pass through the bicycle lane; There is no sidewalk on the right side of the school gate. About 50 meters ahead, it has been enclosed by the fence of municipal construction. Parents who have finished picking up their children should turn left here.

Temple Beitongjin municipal construction, students pass through the construction site.

  In the construction area, the road was pitted, and excavators and dirt trucks were blocked in the middle of the road. Many students walk on gravel and dirt roads, and they need to pass sideways when passing excavators and dirt trucks. Students who push bicycles should be more careful.

  "The road at the entrance of the Seventh Middle School has just been completed. The asphalt was paved on the evening of the 30 th, and the traffic line was painted on the evening of the 31 ST." The traffic coordinator on duty told the reporter that the construction here has been going on for nearly a month, and it is expected that it will take at least one week in the future.

  The reporter found that although the surrounding road section marked the Sibei Tongjin road section under construction, it failed to solve the problem of students’ travel to and from school. In many Dongshankou areas of the school, many students have been influenced by "pipeline reconstruction and road construction".

  In Baoan Front Street, the one-way street from east to west was half closed by the construction fence, and the original bicycle lane was also used as a motor vehicle lane. During school hours, students in Peizheng Middle School often ride and motor vehicles grab roads, which further increases the difficulty of traffic. Because of the construction of the intersection of Xinqing Road, parents who pick up their children at the south gate of Peizheng Middle School have to detour.

  "This is a municipal project, and there is nothing we can do. I hope that the renovation can be completed early and it will be more convenient for children to go to school." Miss Li, who is waiting for the children in Guangzhou No.7 Middle School, said.

Students pass by the excavator under construction after school.

  There is no traffic light at the T-junction in front of the kindergarten, and the traffic is congested during the rush hour.

  Yesterday, a citizen of Shiqiao, Panyu, Guangzhou, told reporters that at the peak of going to school and leaving school, cars and people will be staged at the T-junction in front of Chunhua Kindergarten, which will make parents worry.

  The map shows that Chunhua Kindergarten is located at the junction of Shixin Road, Xinyi Road of Donghuan Street and Gan Tang Avenue. The reporter observed on the spot that there was a zebra crossing across the two-way motorway of Shixin Road in front of the kindergarten. The traffic on the new road in the city is dense and the speed is fast, but no traffic lights are installed on both sides of the sidewalk. It can be seen from the scene that the sidewalk near the kindergarten is not equipped with a yellow public sign "Slow down in front of the school".

The municipal construction of Baoan Qianjie street occupies the road, and students and motor vehicles rob the road after school.

  "There is no accident, but it will be blocked." He Dage, who has lived nearby for many years, said that there will be congestion at the intersection since the kindergarten resumed classes, which often lasts for about half an hour. According to He Dage’s observation, at the peak of going to school and leaving school, the car parked by parents is basically in front of the kindergarten, which will affect the traffic in the driveway to a certain extent, but it will not be blocked.

  However, some neighbors suggested that traffic lights should be installed as soon as possible to adjust the traffic on this section. "There are many trucks here, so we need to pay more attention to the traffic situation after school starts."
