上海共享單車出管理新規 12歲以下孩子禁止騎行

The authorities in Shanghai are planning to take steps to clamp down on children under 12 using ride-share bicycles.

上海市正計劃採取措施，嚴禁12歲以下孩子騎行共享單車。

The move has been prompted by the rising number of traffic accidents involving children trying out the ride-share bikes out of curiosity in the city.

此舉的推出是因爲該市涉及孩子因好奇試騎共享單車的交通事故數量增加。

Last year in Shanghai, there were 245 traffic accidents involving children under 12 riding non-motor vehicles, 1 person was killed and 85 others were injured, according to statistics provided by the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission.

上海市教委提供的數據顯示，2016年上海涉及不滿12歲孩子騎行非機動車的交通事故共發生245起，造成1人死亡、85人受傷。

The traffic safety law in China stipulates that a person must be 12 years or older to ride a bicycle or tricycle on public roads.

中國的交通安全法規定，兒童必須年滿12歲或以上，方可在公路上騎自行車或三輪車。

After meeting with education and public security authorities in Shanghai, the ride-share firms have pledged to update their registration procedures, post warnings on the bicycles for children, and also avoid siting bicycles near schools or the Children's Palace.

被上海市教育部門和公安部門約談後，共享單車企業承諾將改進註冊辦法、在單車上張貼兒童騎行相關警示，並避免在學校和少年宮附近投放單車。

Meanwhile, the transport authority in Shanghai has said it intends to increase street patrols and tighten up parking restrictions for ride-share bicycles through big-data analysis.

同時，上海市交通管理部門表示，將增加街頭巡查並利用大數據分析結果加強共享單車停放管理。

Teachers and parents have also been urged to educate the children about road safety.

此外，老師和家長也被敦促就道路安全教育兒童。
