How did you come up with the idea of naming a road after yourself?

Recently, an article entitled "How Beijing has a road named after itself" caused a hot spread on the Internet. According to the article, a student named Ge began to look for blank sections on the map from 20 13 and posted a self-made "Ge" street sign. Subsequently, maps such as "Gaode Map" included this road. This originally unknown road was named after "Ge Yu Road".

Yesterday, the reporter learned from Shuangjing Sub-district Office that this road has not been officially named. The staff of the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission said that citizens are not allowed to name roads privately, and a special place name office should be responsible for road naming. Chaoyang District Municipal Appearance Committee said that individuals can't make and hang street signs at will. In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Geographical Names in Beijing, geographical names are generally not man-made.

You can have a road named after yourself in Beijing?

Recently, in the popular "How does Beijing have a road named after itself? In the article, "Ge" has attracted many people's attention. According to the article, a man named Ge found an unknown road near the Apple Community around 20 13, and then posted a street sign with his own name. 20 14 "geyu road" can be found on the map of gaode, and geyu road "began to make regular road signs in line with the site environment". 20 15, "Geyu Road" also appeared on Baidu map.

The article also stated that "all express delivery, take-away, navigation and municipal signs can be positioned by Geyu Road normally". In this year's Central American Graduate Exhibition, the work "Ge Yu Lu" was also exhibited.

After the article was widely forwarded, it also caused doubts from netizens. Some netizens think it is interesting to name roads with their own names, but at the same time, some netizens said, "According to relevant laws and regulations, people who set up road signs without authorization should be fined." "The name of the road is named by the planning and management department. For newly built municipal roads, the traffic management department will consult the planning department before carrying out management work. " Many netizens questioned whether this move was legal and compliant.

Yesterday, the reporter found that Ge 1990 was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, studied at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, and was admitted to Central Academy of Fine Arts on 20 14. And "Geyuru" is not the first time that Geyuru himself has made a similar "artistic creation". In an interview with Ge published by the official WeChat of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Ge said that when he was studying in Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, he sprayed the word "Ge" on the wall and ground at the school gate and used other tools to write in poster columns, toilets, blackboards and other places.

After the location of "Geyu Road" was marked on the map of Gaode, it was included in many map navigation, which triggered a heated discussion. Relevant departments said that citizens should not name roads privately.

There are signs of "Geyu Road" on both sides of the intersection.

Yesterday, the reporter searched for "Geyu Road" on two softwares, Gaode Map and Baidu Map, and found that everyone could find such a road.

The reporter visited the site according to the map instructions and found that this road runs east-west, which is a road between Baiziwan Road and Baiziwan South Second Road in Chaoyang District. It connects Huangmuchang Road in the west and Jiulongshan Road in the east, and divides the Apple community into two parts: the North District and the South District. This road is open to traffic in both directions and can be completed in less than ten minutes.

At both ends of this road, the reporter saw a white rectangular "street sign" with the words "Ge Yu Road" written on it. Both road signs are hung with a sign that no honking is allowed, and one of them is also hung with a sign that no parking and speed limit are allowed.

Mr. Kong, who works in the north area of Apple Community, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the vicinity of Apple Community was once the location of a brewery, and this road was originally inside the brewery. Later, after the brewery was demolished, the Apple Community was built and this road was built, but people who worked nearby didn't pay much attention to the name of this road. "It's just a path, and I didn't say it was called Geyu Road or anything."

A staff member of the Investment Promotion Center of Yuan Jie Art District in the North District of Apple Community said that everyone has always called this road "Geyu Road", but it is not clear how to name it. "In 2007, the Apple Community was completed, and there was this road at that time, but there was no road sign at that time, so it was called North-South Link." When the road sign was erected, the staff said it was not clear. At the same time, the staff said that if there is a demand for express delivery, they will directly fill in the community name and building number, and did not write "Ge Yulu" as the receiving address.

In addition, the property staff in the southern district of Apple Community said that residents called this road "Geyu Road", but it was not clear about the origin of the road name.

Seek proof

Street: This road has not been officially named.

Regarding whether "Geyu Road" is the real name of this road and the origin of the name of this road, the reporter asked the neighborhood Committee of the Apple community. A staff member surnamed Wu introduced that the road of registration is actually called "Baiziwan Nanyi Road". "According to the original residential planning, the road between the north and south areas should be passable, but the residential construction was late and all aspects were not in place. The middle road has not been opened yet. In fact, it is the same road as' Baiziwan Nanyi Road'. Of course, you can also call it' Ge Yu Lu'. "

Subsequently, the reporter asked the Urban Construction Section of Shuangjing Sub-district Office. According to the staff, there is no official name for this road at present, but if a street sign is set, it needs to be approved.

Municipal Planning Commission: Citizens are not allowed to name roads privately.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter contacted the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission by telephone. The staff member said that the information about "Geyu Road" widely circulated on the Internet has not yet been known. However, according to the regulations, citizens are not allowed to name roads privately, but a special place name office should be responsible for naming roads.

In response to the inclusion of "Geyu Road" by Baidu, Google and other map software, the staff of the Beijing Municipal Planning Commission said that the inclusion of map software does not mean official recognition, and there is only one name for a road in the official record. Generally speaking, road names are based on traffic signs beside the road. If the street sign is privately named, "it can only be handled according to small advertisements."

The staff of the Municipal Appearance Committee of Chaoyang District, Beijing told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that "traffic signs are generally set by traffic detachments, and individuals cannot make and hang them at will", and once this situation is discovered, the urban management will carry out demolition work.

The reporter inquired that according to the Measures for the Administration of Geographical Names in Beijing, the Municipal Geographical Names Office is specifically responsible for the naming, renaming and related management of geographical names in the city, and the daily work of the Municipal Geographical Names Office is led by the Municipal Planning and Land Bureau. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names promulgated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the administration of geographical names should be examined and approved in accordance with the prescribed principles and examination and approval authority. Without approval, no unit or individual may decide without authorization. According to regulations, place names are generally not man-made.

Map company

Generally, there are many cases including new roads.

In the hot text, the inclusion of "Geyu Road" in the relevant network map has become the key to the naming of this road. Yesterday, a map insider revealed that it may not be possible to inquire about the inclusion at that time. It is speculated that the review of "Geyu Road" was not strict when it was included, and it was directly included in the map after seeing the "street sign".

As for how a new road in navigation software was built from scratch, the reporter consulted the map of Gaode. According to the relevant staff, the online road map is mainly through the combination of independent collection and big data. "For example, you can find the internal roads of the community through big data and identify the road direction and entrance."

According to the staff, there are basically three situations in the new road: "The first is intelligence data, that is, various officially released roads, and we will go online according to this information; Secondly, the floating car data, that is, after the car passes by, combined with the driving tracks produced by multiple users' actual driving, and superimposed image resources, we determine the additional road; Then the user reports it and we will verify it. "

have a conversation

Ge Youlu: At first, it was just a work of art, but now I realize that it may not conform to the regulations.

Yesterday, the reporter contacted Ge, a student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. His name is Ge. He said that the initial naming of a road with his own name only originated from artistic design, but he did not expect it to be included as a functional road name by map software. For the popularity of "Ge Youlu", Ge Youlu himself is a little embarrassed besides being happy. He is afraid that the rising attention will also cause controversy. Because "Geyuru" was originally named without approval, he was worried that "Geyuru" would be removed.

Since it does not meet the requirements, the relevant departments will definitely name this road. Geyuru only acted a little earlier, but it will not be finally recognized.
