Uncle Li, a blind man who lives in nangang district, Harbin, told reporters that when he was walking on the blind road near Lin Qiu, nangang district on August 6, a pile of articles occupying the road almost tripped him.
In the past few days, reporters have visited several road sections and public places in Harbin, and found that some blind roads are missing, laid irregularly, and even occupied by vehicles and various facilities, which brings great trouble to the blind.
The blind road in front of the school for the blind and deaf has no head and no tail.
At 13: 00 on the 9th, the reporter came to the gate of nangang district School for the Blind and Deaf, and found that in this place where the blind are relatively dense, only the sidewalk about 300 meters long in front of the school has blind roads, and there are basically no other streets nearby. And on this only small blind road, many places are not very standardized.
At a bus stop not far from the school gate, the reporter found that there was no warning blind road (location brick) and Braille stop sign corresponding to the bus stop on the blind road, but only a traveling blind road (guide brick) was laid. Every blind road leads straight to the front, and there is no hint at the starting point and turning point, even at the end of the driveway, although there is still a distance from the zebra crossing.
According to the "Code for Barrier-free Design of Urban Roads and Buildings" jointly issued by the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the China Disabled Persons’ Federation in 2001, there are two main types of blind roads, namely, strip-shaped traveling blind roads and dot-shaped prompting blind roads. At the beginning, end and corner of the blind road, there should be a dot-shaped warning blind road, and its width should be between 0.3 and 0.6 meters, and its length should be greater than the width of the blind road, so as to inform the blind people of the changes in the spatial environment of the route ahead and remind them to be prepared, because the blind people basically need to rely on these soles to feel when they get on the road.
There are no blind roads in other places, so there should be one at the hospital gate, right? At 14: 15 on the 8 th, the reporter looked around in front of the outpatient department of the First Hospital of Harbin Medical University and found that there was no blind road on the spacious road.
After a large number of visits, the reporter found that the penetration rate of blind roads in the streets and downtown areas of Harbin is very low. Although there are blind roads in Central Street, Zhongshan Road and other streets, there are no blind roads in some remote streets adjacent to and intersecting with them.
The Code for Barrier-free Design of Urban Roads and Buildings requires that blind roads should be set on the sidewalks of roads, squares, pedestrian streets, commercial streets, bridges, tunnels, interchanges and major buildings in the central area of the city; Pedestrian overpasses, subways, crosswalks and major bus stops should be provided with warning blind roads.
The garbage and flowers in Bei’ an Street are "overbearing"
On the morning of the 10th, the reporter came to Bei ‘an Street in Daoli District and found a small flower bed holding down the blind road impartially. Not far away, there is also a pile of construction waste, which is also piled on the blind road.
The situation in Jingwei Street is even worse: cars are parked on the blind road at will; The construction of the wooden fence is built on the blind road; At the intersection, two road warning signs also "blocked" the blind road.
At 12: 20 on the 8th, the reporter found on Zhujiang Road in Xiangfang District that the blind roads here were not only laid in conformity with the specifications, but also damaged in many places. The reporter roughly counted that only a blind road on the sidewalk in front of the Leibor Hotel was damaged in five places.
On the other section of Zhujiang Road, there is a manhole cover of sewer and a manhole cover of high-voltage cable on the blind road, although it is clearly stipulated in the Code for Barrier-free Design of Urban Roads and Buildings that "the blind road should be laid without the manhole cover".
In addition, the reporter also found a damaged blind road on the wood street in Xiangfang District. Ms. Guo, who sells newsstands on Timber Street, told reporters: "These blind roads have been damaged for a long time and have been ignored."
At 17: 00 on the 9th, Taiping Street in Daowai District was slippery after the rain. A pile of bricks dug out by construction were randomly piled on the footpath board, and a blind road was cut off.
Road construction is supposed to benefit the citizens, but the bricks piled up on Taiping Street make it difficult for the blind to travel.
There are laws to follow in the construction of blind roads.
The so-called blind road refers to providing convenient and safe road facilities for the blind. Blind roads are generally paved with two types of bricks, and those with strip patterns are called blind roads, which indicate that you can go straight here; A dotted pattern is called a hint blind road, which indicates that there will be intersections, obstacles or terrain changes ahead. Prompted by the blind road, the blind can judge the direction of progress through lower senses.
China’s barrier-free construction started late. In 1985, some streets in Beijing were barrier-free reconstructed. After several brewing, on August 1, 2001, the Code for Barrier-free Design of Urban Roads and Buildings began to be implemented nationwide. This code requires 24 items, such as blind roads, to be laid on newly rebuilt main roads in cities, to be implemented in the construction, which is the main basis for the construction of urban blind roads in China at present.
In order to respond to the relevant national regulations, reflect the social care and care for the disabled and the elderly, and also strengthen the barrier-free design and management of urban infrastructure, Harbin has issued mandatory measures. The Administrative Measures for the Construction of Barrier-free Facilities in Harbin, which came into effect on May 1, 2007, is one of the important measures and another important basis for the construction and management of blind roads in this city.
At present, barrier-free facilities in Harbin, including blind roads, are basically designed, laid, maintained and managed according to these two documents.
Although there are well-documented and laws to follow, the reporter felt during his recent visit that there is still a long way to go before the blind people in Harbin can truly travel smoothly and smoothly.
According to the staff of the Rights Protection Department of Harbin Disabled Persons’ Federation, there are about 72,000 blind people in Harbin. "Every month, we receive many complaints about the occupation of blind roads or the irregular and unreasonable design."
The lack of blind roads, nonstandard laying of blind roads, and the failure of daily maintenance and management are problems that government departments need to solve urgently. The bigger problem is that people still can’t pay attention to the blind road now, and many people often occupy the blind road unwittingly or unintentionally.
In the interview, the reporter found that although most citizens know what a blind road is, they usually don’t deliberately detour. In Daowai District, the reporter saw a lady surnamed Wang parking her bicycle on the blind road. "I didn’t notice that this was a blind road, so I parked my car here."
There are also some citizens who don’t know what a blind road is at all, and think that a blind road is an ornament laid for good looks and orderly urban planning. On the afternoon of the 8th, in Taiping Street, Daowai District, a woman was very dissatisfied with these strip bricks on the road, and complained to reporters: "I don’t know what they are for, but those bricks with strip protrusions are slippery and slippery in rainy days, and there is still water, so it is easy to twist your feet when you walk up carelessly."
Some citizens also doubt whether it is necessary to protect these blind roads. In their opinion, the blind road was not completely repaired, and it was intermittent in name only. At ordinary times, there were not many blind people walking on it. What can we do if we take it up?
"We attach great importance to the problem of the occupation of blind roads. We have reflected the collected information to relevant departments and urged them from time to time, hoping to solve it as soon as possible." The staff of the Municipal Disabled Persons’ Federation Rights Protection Department said.
Li Kechang of Daowai District Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau said: "For those small business hawkers who occupy blind roads, we mainly clean up and persuade; For illegal vehicles, we will post a violation notice on the car and ask the owner to come to us as soon as possible. " Section Li said that because of the limited number of law enforcement personnel, most of the time they can only guard key locations and send cars to patrol, while some remote roads are not supervised. He appealed that blind roads are related to the safety of blind people’s travel. I hope that every citizen can raise social awareness and not occupy blind roads; Take action in parallel and actively discourage and report.
