As a major agricultural hub in Sichuan Province, Leshan City boasts year-round bountiful harvests of crops including grains, vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs. In response, the Leshan Road Safety Office has launched coordinated deployments, meticulously analyzing the impact of seasonal farming, breeding, and harvesting on migrant workers' travel, traffic flow, and vehicle-pedestrian volumes. It has prioritized traffic management tasks such as transport support, hazard elimination, and safety escorts for different seasons and time periods, strengthened joint duty between police stations/teams and traffic/patrol forces, increased frontline police deployment in rural areas, and spared no effort to protect the traffic safety of farming communities during seasonal cultivation, picking, and harvesting—effectively fueling high-quality economic and social development.

Ebian County Road Safety Office Holds Traffic Safety Awareness Meeting for Townships and Agricultural Cooperatives

To enhance traffic safety awareness among rural residents during the crop harvest season and prevent road accidents, the Ebian County Road Safety Office convened a traffic safety warning meeting for deputy heads of township governments and agricultural cooperative leaders at the County Public Security Bureau's Traffic Management Brigade on June 30, 2025. Chaired by Zhang Kewei, Director of the Ebian Road Safety Office, the meeting was attended by heads of the Traffic Management Brigade, Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and other relevant units.

During the meeting, a video of typical rural traffic accidents in the county was screened, dissecting accident causes to urge the public to abandon "fluke mentalities." He Pan, Deputy Director of the County Road Safety Office, interpreted the Sichuan Province Road Traffic Safety Accountability Regulations. Brigade police officers analyzed traffic laws and regulations in line with rural traffic characteristics, emphasizing the hazards and legal consequences of violations like illegal passenger-carrying by agricultural vehicles, unlicensed driving, and drunk driving. Director Zhang Kewei stressed that townships and cooperatives must fulfill territorial management responsibilities, assist traffic authorities in conducting safety hazard inspections, traffic guidance, and education during summer vacations, flood seasons, and harvest periods, and jointly build a rural traffic safety defense.

At the meeting, traffic safety brochures were distributed, and 22 Traffic Safety Commitment Letters were signed. Participants pledged to spread safety knowledge to villagers, lead by example, and foster a new rural traffic ethos of "law-abiding, civilized travel."

Shizhong District Road Safety Office Strengthens Traffic Safety During Farming-Flood Season

Summer marks the peak season for vegetable and fruit picking and sales. The Shizhong District Road Safety Office has organized multi-departmental campaigns—including traffic police, transportation, and emergency response—to promote rural traffic safety, adopting a dual approach of "education guidance + publicity warnings" to safeguard busy farming periods.

Traffic police, in tandem with township/village cadres, have launched the "Beautiful Countryside Tour" safety campaign, visiting towns, markets, and villages to distribute materials, analyze typical accidents, and preach traffic laws. They have highlighted the dangers of violations such as drunk driving, illegal agricultural vehicle transport, van overloading, and helmetless motorcycle riding. Leveraging rural "big loudspeaker" broadcasts and village WeChat groups, daily safety tips are pushed to form an "online-offline" education matrix, enhancing villagers' safety awareness.

In response to heavy produce transport and rising violations, police have optimized joint duty systems, reinforced police presence in rural and urban-rural areas, set up checkpoints at key township and village intersections, and strictly cracked down on illegal acts like tricycle passenger-carrying, van overloading, drunk driving, and unlicensed driving. Meanwhile, multi-departmental teams have conducted grid-style hazard inspections to eliminate risks, solidifying the rural traffic safety network for summer farming. (Text/Photos by Liu Ran, Hu Xun)
