Due to civilized behaviors such as wearing helmets, orderly parking, and giving way to pedestrians, drivers can receive a lottery winning notice issued by the traffic police. With the ticket, they can exchange a "traffic police bear" at the designated place, which is a new experience for traffic participants in Changsha, Hunan Province during the May Day holiday.

The lottery for obeying traffic civilization reflects Changsha's governance thinking of optimizing urban traffic in a flexible way.

This kind of flexible governance is not the first time in Changsha. In order to improve the wearing rate of safety helmets, Changsha police replaced tickets with various forms of propaganda and education, and did not enforce the law, so that drivers could actively regulate driving behavior; According to the relevant list, the first violation warning and light violation exemption measures for traffic violations were implemented... The flexible governance with both rewards and punishments and various ways added a lot of warmth to the city.

The flexible management of urban traffic has enhanced the goodwill of traffic participants to Changsha. Relevant departments implement flexible law enforcement and sunshine law enforcement while strictly enforcing the law, which is conducive to enhancing the enthusiasm and initiative of traffic participants to comply with the law, and promoting urban governance from "rule obedience" to "emotional identity".

Some people say that "warm sunshine is easier to take off people's clothes than cold wind". This "May Day" holiday, when the Changsha traffic police launched the award list, the news that senior police officers were blocking the West Lake in Hangzhou also attracted many netizens to watch and praise. The core of a city is people. Only by combining the rigidity of the rule of law with the flexibility of the rule of morality can more effectively mobilize more social forces to participate in social governance and jointly promote social harmony and stability. It is believed that our city will be warmer and more orderly by deeply implementing the concept of people's city and actively innovating urban governance.
