The Ministry of Public Security informed the national road traffic safety situation in the first half of 2006.

Development trend and basic working ideas of national road traffic safety in the second half of the year. In the second half of the year, the national road traffic flow will continue to form a peak; The mileage of periodic road reconstruction will increase, which will increase the difficulty of highway accident prevention to some extent; Farmers' production and living trips have increased, and illegal manned vehicles such as tricycles, low-speed trucks and tractors will still exist. Continuous high temperature weather and fatigue driving in July will have a certain impact on traffic safety; Summer tourism and morning road traffic activities have increased. Statistics of traffic accidents from 38+0, 2006 to 2005 show that there were 52,803 traffic accidents in July, and the death toll ranged from 7,700 to 8,900, with an average death toll of 8,438, accounting for 8% of the total death toll in the whole year, which was higher than that in March, April, May and June. On average, there were 26 serious traffic accidents with more than 5 deaths, including 3.2 accidents with more than 65,438 deaths.

In view of the grim traffic safety situation, in order to achieve the goal of three reductions in the number of accidents, the death toll and the death rate per 10,000 vehicles, and the year-on-year decrease in serious traffic accidents, the traffic management department of public security organs across the country will continue to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 4. 17 meeting, deepen the measures of "five rectifications" and "three promotions", comprehensively promote the "safe and smooth counties and districts" activities, and continue to carry out special rectifications. In the third quarter, we should continue to focus on preventing serious road traffic accidents, seize the key provinces where accidents are prone to occur frequently, solve outstanding problems, and implement the strategy of driving the overall situation through key breakthroughs. Therefore, the Ministry of Public Security decided to launch a three-month special campaign to prevent serious road traffic accidents in nine provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) including Fujian, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan from July/KLOC-0 to September 30. By strictly investigating traffic violations according to law, a new breakthrough has been made in strictly controlling traffic order; Strengthen the traffic safety inspection of transportation enterprises and make new breakthroughs in urging enterprises to implement the responsibility system; Intensify the investigation and rectification of dangerous road sections and make new breakthroughs in improving road traffic conditions; Deepen the traffic safety publicity and education project and make new breakthroughs in improving citizens' awareness of traffic safety; Through in-depth investigation and study, a new breakthrough has been made in understanding and grasping the law of accidents. In a word, through special actions, a number of hidden dangers of passenger transport have been eliminated, a number of dangerous road sections have been rectified, and a number of serious traffic violations have been investigated, which has significantly improved the traffic order of highways and rural areas and curbed serious traffic accidents.

Thanks again to the news media for their concern and support for public security traffic management. It is hoped that the news media will continue to play the role of propaganda position and carry out regular publicity and education on traffic safety, so that the whole society can care about traffic safety and the citizens can firmly establish traffic safety awareness.

Last year, there were 5 17889 road traffic accidents and 0/07077 deaths in China. There were 465,083 traffic accidents caused by drivers' illegal driving, resulting in 93,550 deaths, accounting for 87.4% of the total number of deaths in the whole year.

Statistics from the Ministry of Public Security show that the illegal behavior of motor vehicle drivers was the main cause of road traffic accidents in China in 2004. Among them, the deaths caused by speeding, occupying roads, driving without a license, drunk driving and fatigue driving are more prominent.

It is understood that the time and place of serious road traffic accidents in 2004 were relatively concentrated in the peak of Spring Festival travel rush and the southwest. Within 40 days in Spring Festival travel rush alone, there were 18 accidents in which the death toll exceeded 18, accounting for 32.7% of the total.

Spring Festival travel rush introduced new measures.

In order to ensure the work safety in Spring Festival travel rush this year, the Ministry of Public Security has stipulated that unqualified vehicles are prohibited from going on the road, and long-distance buses are prohibited from being overloaded, speeding and fatigue driving.

Yang Jun, director of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that during Spring Festival travel rush, public security organs at all levels should organize a general inspection of passenger transport safety, and urge passenger transport enterprises and car owners to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the operation safety of large and medium-sized buses together with road transport management agencies.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen road traffic control, timely understand the impact of bad weather such as rain, snow and fog on road traffic, and strengthen the prevention of traffic accidents on mountain roads and highways under bad weather conditions.

by car

When taking public transport, you should abide by public order, pay attention to social morality and pay attention to traffic safety.

When waiting for the bus, you should queue up in turn, stand by the road or wait on the platform. You should not be crowded in the driveway, let alone stand in the middle of the road to park. When getting on the bus, wait for the bus to stop at the station, let the passengers get off first, and then get on the bus in order. There is no hurry. After getting on the bus, you should take the initiative to buy tickets and give seats to passengers who are old, weak, sick, pregnant or with babies. When the vehicle is driving, hold the handrail properly, and keep your head and hands out of the window to avoid being rubbed by passing vehicles. Walk in turn when you get off the bus, don't push hard. After getting off the bus, you should immediately step onto the sidewalk. If you need to cross the roadway, you should cross the sidewalk; Never cross the front and rear of the car. It's not safe.

Cross the road safely.

We go to school, school and outdoor activities almost every day. Be sure to walk safely, there is a lot of knowledge here! Many pedestrians, because they didn't master the essentials of crossing the road safely, finally died under the wheel of a car and survived.

When crossing the road, choose a place with a crosswalk. This is a safe zone for pedestrians to enjoy the right of way. In this area, the speed of motor vehicles generally slows down, and drivers pay more attention to the dynamics of pedestrians. When crossing the road where there is no crosswalk, you should pay special attention to avoid passing vehicles. The easiest way to avoid vehicles is to look at whether there is a car coming on the left first, and if there is no car coming, walk into the driveway; See if there is a car coming on the right. You can cross the road safely when there is no car coming.

It is very dangerous to cross the road without crossing the crosswalk, crossing casually or crossing the road when cars are coming and going.

Gold and jade are valuable, but life is priceless. Obey the rules and live safely.
