Huilongguan Wenbo Road
At 7:30 in the morning, outside the second small gate of Huilongguan, Wenbo Road, Changping District, volunteers stationed at both ends of the crosswalk, guiding the children to cross the road safely.

Outside Huilongguan No. 2 Primary School, the reporter saw that some parent volunteers helped children who came by car to open the door, and some were responsible for escorting students who crossed the road to and from both ends of the zebra crossing. “Most drivers already have the awareness that they can park actively without us needing to stop.” Zhang Liang said that the establishment of a team of “parent volunteers” is for schools and traffic control departments to ensure the safety of children going to and from school. One of the measures to maintain order around the campus. If the “comity zebra crossing” can achieve significant results in the future, it may be possible to change other positions without sending special personnel to escort the children across the road.

A few elementary school students in school uniforms walked over from south to north. Volunteers waved the civilization guide flag in their hands, and the motor vehicles on both sides of the sidewalk slowed down to a stop.
Seeing the green light on the north side of the road kept flashing, a primary school student subconsciously speeded up his pace and trot out. “Don’t worry, go slowly.” While waving the flag, the volunteer took three steps and two steps, took the little boy’s hand, and led him over. The traffic lights changed, and in a short while, many elementary and middle school students shuttled back and forth on the zebra crossing. The four civilized guides were divided into two groups. With the flag swinging, none of the motor vehicles appeared to “run away”, and all of them gave courtesy to the zebra crossing in accordance with the regulations.
“I didn’t expect that our intersection is so smooth, and I won’t have to trot anymore when I send my children across the road.” A parent told reporters that there are factories on the north and south sides of the intersection of Ping An Avenue and West Huangchenggen North Street. There are five or six primary and secondary schools in Qiao Primary School, Huangchenggen Primary School and Beijing No. 4 Middle School. There are a large number of students and a large flow of people. It is common for parents to lead their children across the road every time they go to and from school.
