如果把城市看作一位巨人,那么纵横交错,遍布全城的道路便是巨人的血脉。拥挤的道路交通就像血管堵塞一样引发着致命的威胁。针对这种威胁,人们发明了交通信号灯(红绿灯)来遏制住“交通血栓”的蔓延。
可你讨厌红绿灯吗?
我很讨厌!而且是非常讨厌!我们时常会为遇到一个红灯而苦恼怄气,我相信任何一位司机都不会待见这东西!
更可怕的是,红绿灯仿佛有着一种神秘力量,确切地讲是一种恶毒的诅咒,一旦遇到一个红灯后,之后便是红灯连连看,每逢车到路口必定停下苦苦等候放行,久而久之我们将常遇见这类情况的人归类为“红灯体质”,没错说得就是你。
可总有另一批人,深受上天的眷顾,开车上路总是绿光相伴,在头顶上方绿意盎然的照耀下,一路畅通无阻,仿佛堵车永远不会找上他们,这便是人人羡慕的“绿灯体质”,我更愿意叫他们“绿灯侠”!
有人认为你说得煞有其事,莫非“一路红灯”或是“一路绿灯”真的和人体质有关?对于这个解释,实话说我自己都无法接受!
于是趁着外出工作间隙,我们特地选取了两条道路来实地测试一下,一方面来验证一下有关红绿灯的“玄学问题”,另一方面也想确认下自己到底能不能成为“绿灯侠”?
测试线路一:
起点:“沪青平公路-朱枫公路”
终点:“沪青平公路-漕盈路匝道”
总长:6.5KM
红绿灯数量:5个
红绿灯状态:全红
为了测试的公平真实,我们刻意吃到了第一个红灯!整条公路限速为60km/h,我们全程卡着限速行驶,幸运的是虽然正值晚高峰,但路上车流量并不算多,整段路程我们都保持到了限速标准。
第一个红绿灯——“红灯”!
沪青平公路-漕平路
第二个红绿灯——“红灯”!
沪青平公路-祥凝浜路
第三个红绿灯——“红灯”!
沪青平公路-酒龙路
第四个红绿灯——“红灯”!
沪青平公路-Y364
第五个红绿灯——“红灯”!
沪青平公路-漕盈路匝道
第一次测试我们一连吃了整整五个红灯!最终还是在交警叔叔的干涉之下才终结了噩梦,让我们看到了希望的绿光…
由于要保证达到限速的情况下才有参考的意义,在度过了难熬的“严重”拥堵路段后,我们终于迎来了第二段测试道路。
测试线路二:
起点:“外青松公路-青松路”
终点:“外青松公路-庆丰路”
总长:2.6KM
红绿灯数量:6个
红绿灯状态:全绿
与“测试线路一”相似,线路二也是一条红绿灯设置相对比较多的道路,限速同样是60km/h。我们照例压着限速,时速保持在55~60km/h之间,尽可能地减少刹车次数以防时速下落,沿途拍摄的6个红绿灯的信息如下:
第一个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-青松路
第二个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-水厂路
第三个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-枫泾村路
第四个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-无名路
第五个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-西庆路
第六个红绿灯——“绿灯”
外青松公路-庆丰路
无论是测试线路一还是二,我们都反复测试了多次,由于测试时间正值工作日晚高峰,在测试“线路一”的时道路拥挤状况愈演愈烈,而等待红灯的时间却越来越长,往往一个路口需要等候2次红灯以上。
测试“线路二”的时候则恰恰相反,重复多次仍旧绿灯开道!即便在后续几次过路口前远远望见红灯,但按照60km/h的限速行驶近路口前,已经能看见红灯倒数几秒,轻带刹车趟到路口时跳绿灯直接穿越路口,轻松的驾驶感受妙不可言~
红波带与绿波带
熟悉这两条测试路线的朋友应该能辨认出它们都位于上海市郊区,“测试路线一”的终点到“测试路线二”的起点相距不过3.1km,测试的时间也都处于晚高峰时间段,可为何我们还能体验到两种截然不同的路况?驾驶感受的差距如此之大?
多次的测试显然已经不能将这种现象简单地归结于“体质”问题,偶然现象就更不具备任何说服力了。
其实这就是城市“交通控制系统”中“绿波带”和“红波带”最佳的解释了。
没错,天天让你堵在路上看红灯,吃尾气的人正是道路建设背后呕心沥血的设计师们,他们花费了数十年的时间,绞尽脑汁,无所不用其极地想办法将你堵在路上!
设计师们的目的当然不是故意刁难你,一切出发点都在于缓解城市的交通堵塞,红绿灯的设置逻辑简单概括下来就是:
前方路况通畅,让新到路口的车快点离开(绿灯),如果前方拥堵,那么就让新到路口的车慢点离开(红灯)!
“测试道路一”位于沪青平公路上,作为一条郊区连接市区的非高速主干道之一,紧邻城区闹市地段, 不仅我们测试车从西向东方向的车流量巨大,从南至北的车流量也不少,所以此时红绿灯的逻辑便是多跳红灯,让赶到自己脚下的新到车辆们尽可能多逗留一会儿,以减缓前方路口拥堵的加剧!这就叫做“红波带”!
所以在“测试路线一”的后几次实验中,我们采取变速的开法来验证,“如果我们不按规定限速行驶(非超速)”能不能破解“一路红灯”的魔咒?
尝试的结果并没有什么用,红灯该吃的照旧吃,拥堵该等的照旧等,所以奉劝高峰期喜爱插队加塞的朋友,你的努力在道路设计师们面前,不值一提!(来自设计师的微笑)
与“测试线路一”遭遇“红波带”相对的便是我们在“测试线路二”上遇到的“绿波带”。
由于“测试线路二”位于郊区偏僻区域,这条外青松公路两旁多是农田和绿化,零星几幢乡间小屋也远离公路主线,分支出的小路车流量也不多,甚至许多小路连名字都没有。
在这种情况下,按照“交通控制系统”的逻辑,前方比较通畅,那么红绿灯尽量会让新到路口的车辆快点离开,整体提升交通效率,缩短整段公路的行驶时间。
所以在通畅的道路上,我们如果想尽可能快的通过,冒着被电子警察拍摄的风险超速行驶未必是最快的方式,相反,按着限速驾驶顺着“绿波带”,你会发现遇到红灯的概率越来越小,前行的道路变得无比通畅。
很多时候我们加速超越了一辆辆自以为拦路的“龟速车”,抢在车道最前方,但临到路口时,往往需要一脚重刹停下,心烦意乱不说,全力刹车的乘坐体验也非常糟糕,更郁闷的是,方才一辆辆被超过的“乌龟”们,此时正好卡着绿灯亮起不减速顺滑的从你身边溜过…
哪有那么多玄学!
日常生活中,我们习惯于把很多看似无法解释,实际懒得理解的事物归于“玄学”,红绿灯哪有什么玄学!不过是人工智能化的产物罢了!
全国不少城市已经开始了将“绿波带”以及“绿波时速”公布在马路之上,提醒各位司机们如何才能更有效率地开车。
如何?了解完红绿灯背后的设置逻辑后,下次再吃到红灯是不是感受能稍微好受一些?反正如何挣扎也是徒劳,安心在“红波带”中游车河吧。
