Shanghai Launches Traffic Safety Code System for Delivery Riders
Shanghai has officially introduced a comprehensive Traffic Safety Code system targeting delivery and courier riders to curb erratic non-motorized vehicle usage. This initiative addresses safety challenges arising from the rapidly growing rider population by employing modules for data analysis, risk assessment, and early warnings. Under this new framework, riders are categorized into three safety levels: green, yellow, and red. These classifications depend on factors such as traffic violations, accident history, and completion of mandatory training. New riders must possess a green code to begin work, while those assigned a red code face immediate platform bans and inclusion in an industry blacklist until they rectify their status. Reports indicate that over 420 riders have already been blacklisted. Furthermore, the system extends accountability to delivery stations and companies, penalizing entities that fail to comply with safety regulations. So far this year, 203 stations and 13 companies have been penalized for non-compliance. This move signifies a stricter regulatory approach to urban logistics safety, leveraging technology to enforce standards and protect public order amidst the boom in e-commerce delivery services.
