Many drivers, when seeing the simulated images, actively slowed down, followed the correct speed, and paid more attention to observation when passing through dangerous areas.
This approach is aimed at preventing violations early, instead of waiting for accidents to occur and then handling the consequences.
That is the highest goal of traffic safety assurance.
For a long time, many people have still complied with regulations in a perfunctory manner, seeing checkpoints or speed cameras, immediately transmitting information to avoid each other.
But in reality, sanctioning is not the ultimate goal.
The most important thing is how to make people consciously comply with the law, reduce accidents, and protect their lives and the community.
Gia Lai traffic police's approach shows that spirit very clearly.
Place a simulated image of officers speeding in areas where violations or accidents often occur to remind pedestrians to be more careful. When drivers slow down, observe more carefully at intersections or dangerous roads, the risk of accidents also decreases.
The actual effectiveness has appeared immediately after deployment. People proactively slow down, maintain a safe distance, and better comply with regulations.
This proves that many traffic violations are not necessarily due to intentional resistance, but partly due to subjective psychology, lack of concentration, or the habit of running fast.
As soon as there is a suitable reminder signal, the behavior has changed in a positive direction.
This is a visual propaganda method, not costly but with significant social effects. Instead of hanging rigid slogans, simulated images create instant reflexes for the driver.
From a social management perspective, this is very encouraging.
When people understand that reducing speed is to protect their lives, not to avoid being fined, then the effectiveness will be sustainable.
Reality shows that many serious accidents originate from speeding, reckless overtaking, and lack of observation at intersections. Therefore, all solutions to help people slow down and be more careful are worthy of support.
Of course, propaganda cannot completely replace patrolling, controlling and strictly punishing dangerous acts. For cases of intentional violations and disregard for the law, strong sanctions are still necessary.
What is noteworthy in Gia Lai traffic police's approach is aiming to prevent violations from the beginning. People speeding down before being recorded is still much better than having an accident and then handling it.
Civilized traffic is when people voluntarily comply with traffic laws, that is the goal we aim for and are determined to build.
