美团正在开发一项名为"等灯停表"的新功能，旨在改善骑手的配送体验。该功能已进入内测阶段，骑手在配送过程中遇到红灯时，系统将暂停计时[1]。美团计划在今年内完善数据后正式推出这一功能，预计将覆盖超100万名骑手[1]。
此举呼应了交管部门的推进。苏州交管部门于7月14日宣布将外卖骑手等红灯的时间纳入配送计时体系[1]。在此背景下，美团等7家即时配送平台共同加入了"灯塔联盟"[1]。此前，美团还在去年12月推出了骑手"不闯红灯"安全激励计划，为遵守交通规则的骑手提供每日现金奖励[1]。
Meituan has developed an internal "stop timer at red lights" feature currently undergoing beta testing [1]. The function pauses delivery time calculations when riders encounter red lights during their routes, designed to alleviate delivery duration pressure [1]. The company expects to fully launch the feature later this year following data refinement, with anticipated coverage reaching over one million riders [1].
The initiative follows Suzhou's traffic management authorities, which on July 14 officially incorporated time spent by delivery riders waiting at red lights into delivery time accounting systems [1]. In response, Meituan and six other instant delivery platforms have joined the "Lighthouse Alliance," a collaborative effort to align with traffic compliance standards [1]. Additionally, Meituan previously introduced a "no red light running" safety incentive program in December of last year, offering riders daily cash rewards for complying with traffic regulations [1].
