美國馬薩諸塞州劍橋市的交通管理部門近期開出了一系列特別設計的“瑜伽罰單”,在告知駕駛人員違規行為的同時教他們一些簡單的瑜伽動作,以消減他們見到罰單時的怒火。每張“瑜伽罰單”的正面都印有一個瑜伽姿勢的圖片,背面則是練習該姿勢的動作要領。當地交通管理部門的負責人表示,推出這樣一系列罰單是為了消除人們長久以來對罰單的錯誤理解,告訴人們罰單本身并沒有惡意,開罰單只是為了讓這個城市更好地運轉。不過,當地民眾似乎并不能完全理解這番好意。很多人表示,看到罰單就知道要掏25美元罰款了,沒有人會在意罰單上印著什么,所以這樣的做法毫無意義。

The tickets have an image of a yoga position on the front of the envelope, with instructions on the reverse on how to implement various moves.

A US city is handing out parking tickets with pictures of yoga positions on them in a bid to calm down angry recipients.

Parking control officers in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have been issued with 40,000 of the placatory citations. They are the brainchild of one Daniel Peltz, an "artist in residence" with the Cambridge Traffic and Parking Department. The tickets have an image of a yoga position on the front of the envelope, with instructions on the reverse on how to implement various moves.

Susan Clippinger, the city's transportation chief, tells The Boston Herald the purpose of the tickets is to "debunk the idea that all parking tickets are a hostile action. We’re not writing tickets to get somebody. We’re writing tickets to help make the city function.”

The move has not met with universal approval, according to Boston TV channel WHDH 7. One woman told their reporter: “I think it's a waste of an envelope because if I got this as a ticket I am not looking at the poses to relax, believe me", while another resident claimed: "It wouldn't relax me, it would just tick me off more, to know my money is being wasted again." Cambridge resident Hyunho Noh told the Herald "it's not working" as he showed up to pay a $25 ticket. “I don’t like it. There’s no way to like it.”

The Cambridge Arts Council, which is behind the move, says on its website: “During his residency, Peltz learned that the aim of the Department of Traffic, Parking and Transportation was to maintain flow in the city, which led him to imagine a more peaceful exchange between Parking Control Officers and drivers being ticketed.”

Parking control officers in the East Coast American city hand out 340,000 parking tickets a year. According to Mrs Clippinger, the officers have had a mixed reaction to the move.
