Parenting] Why are there so many car accidents in Taiwan?

Mr. Jiyuan Tsai, a researcher at Academia Sinica, discusses "Why are there so many car accidents in Taiwan? Mr. Jiyuan Tsai, a researcher at Academia Sinica, wrote an article on "Why are there so many car accidents in Taiwan?", mentioning four points: ramp control, speed limit confusion, right turns on red lights, and cargo regulations.

Chinese people generally lack of safety concepts and good driving habits, the United States of America on the concept of road safety is not only in the driver's license exam only pay attention to, but the U.S. government has long been the implementation of traffic safety concepts in school education, from the age of schoolchildren began to learn the basic concepts of traffic safety, the process of the driver's license exam is the implementation of the law to control the safety of the driving of cars. Traffic safety education rooted in childhood, strict and perfect traffic laws and regulations and police officers to implement the spirit of law enforcement, is to establish the concept of safety and cultivate good driving the right way.

Some sections of Taiwan's Zhongshan Expressway are designed with curved lines and heavy vehicles climbing ramps, and the speeds defined by the design speeds are different, but it is indisputable that the inside lanes are for drivers to overtake vehicles. However, Chinese people have bad driving habits and are accustomed to occupying the inside lane. The speed limit on domestic highways has been raised to a certain level, which is still a great constraint for those drivers who love to drive fast and regard the highway as a venue for speeding, without any concept of traffic safety.

Can I turn right on a red light? This has always been an issue of great importance to all of us, and there is no standard answer to this question. The current domestic traffic environment, as well as the attitude of law-abiding people and the concept of traffic safety, it is not possible to achieve courtesy and clear intersections, and road intersections still need to be "priority", "protection" and other time-system design for signal control. However, in the face of the increasing number of vehicles, it is not right to blame road congestion on signal control, so why don't we review the domestic transportation policy? After all, metropolitan areas in China are already overdeveloped, so there is no room for new lanes or roads, let alone parking lots and parking spaces! The government should consider the public transportation policy and establish a point-to-point transportation system that is fast and convenient, with convenient routes for the public.

Car accidents are the tip of the iceberg of Taiwan's road traffic problems, if there is no complete package of practices, only the standard behavior does not fundamentally solve the problem, in addition to the engineering, education, law enforcement of the three E policy, but also into the overall, coordinated, and sustainable consideration of the three C's, is to improve the traffic problem of the correct thinking.
