On the afternoon of May 30, several international students from Wenzhou University(WZU) and volunteers from the School of Foreign Languages of WZU carried out the volunteer activity of “traffic supervisors”. Under the lead of the real traffic police, they stopped and talked to students who violate the non-motorized traffic rules passing by the South Road of the University City Center of Wenzhou.
At around 14:30, the volunteers teamed up to work on their own, wearing red vests and holding "pass" and "no pass" signs as well as traffic safety signs. Heavy rain did not quench their enthusiasm. When they found non-motorized vehicle drivers not wearing helmets or riding with someone on the same vehicle, they will hold up signs to pull these drivers over to the sideroad, inform them traffic safety tips, and post prepared printed signs of traffic safety tips stickers to raise safety awareness of those drivers. In addition, these drivers have to stay with the volunteers to be traffic supervisors for five minute to get better in mind the traffic safety tips.
David Chen from Zambia, a junior civil engineering student at Wenzhou University, felt that it was very important and meaningful to participate in civilized traffic volunteer activities, "I will follow the traffic laws I learned today and promote them to my friends and classmates around me, so that everyone can do civilized travel."
"Usually it is our law enforcement department that punishes violators, today's activity allows college students to experience the work of managers and face the hazards caused by traffic violations, so that they can better understand and follow traffic regulations in the future." said one of the traffic officer.
