Main factors affecting road traffic safety

People are the dominant factor in traffic safety. The key to traffic safety lies in people. What kind of attitude people have towards traffic safety will determine what kind of results they will have. Accident statistics show that 80%-85% of traffic accidents are caused by human factors. Among all types of traffic participants, drivers are the most important.

Cars are a key factor in traffic safety. What kind of situation and type of car there will be, what kind of traffic safety results will there be. Compared with bicycles and other non-motorized vehicles, motor vehicles are the most powerful vehicles and are the “culprit” of many traffic accidents.

Roads are a basic factor in traffic safety. According to statistics, 10% of traffic accidents are directly related to road conditions. Whether the design of the road is reasonable, whether the quality is up to standard, whether the grade is in place, whether the traffic facilities such as signs, slogans, and markings are complete, eye-catching, and effective are directly related to traffic safety.

Traffic environment is a comprehensive factor in traffic safety. Traffic environment is a very familiar term to traffic participants. However, a considerable number of people often ignore the traffic environment when participating in traffic, resulting in accidents that should not have happened. Can ensure safe travel.

Extended information:

Traffic safety means that the possibility of damage to people or things is acceptable; if this possibility exceeds the acceptable level, it is unsafe .

As a dynamic open system, the safety of the road traffic system is not only restricted by internal factors of the system, but also interfered by the external environment of the system, and is closely related to factors such as people, vehicles, and the road environment.

The unreliability, imbalance, and instability of any factor in the system may lead to conflicts and contradictions, resulting in unsafe factors or unsafe conditions.
