What has changed since the implementation of the Road Traffic Law for 20 years
2024-05-09
The Road Traffic Safety Law of China (hereinafter referred to as the Road Traffic Law) has been in effect for 20 years since May 1, 2004. In the past 20 years, the number of motor vehicle drivers in China has increased from 103 million to 523 million, the number of motor vehicles has increased from 96 million to 435 million, the mileage of highways has increased from 1.87 million kilometers to 5.44 million kilometers, and the number of major traffic accidents has decreased from 55 in 2004 to 1 in 2023, a decrease of 98.2%. Farewell and peace, accompanied by civilization. Over the past 20 years, the public security traffic management department has actively adapted to the new situation of economic and social development, actively responded to the new expectations of the people, adjusted regulations, simplified procedures, optimized procedures, and introduced multiple convenient and beneficial measures for the people. Nowadays, the awareness of compliance and law-abiding among the people is constantly increasing, and a good trend of civilized transportation is gradually forming. The awareness of safety and civilization has deeply rooted in people's hearts. Data shows that since the implementation of the Road Traffic Law 20 years ago, the average number of motor vehicles has increased by 17 million, the number of drivers has increased by 21 million, and the mileage of highways has increased by 180000 kilometers. With the rapid development of China's economy and society, the number of road mileage, motor vehicles, and drivers has doubled, and the demand for people's travel continues to be strong. In the past 20 years, the number of traffic accidents has significantly decreased, and the public's awareness of safety and civilization has been continuously enhanced. The reporter from the Legal Daily learned from the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security that through legal education, law enforcement, and judiciary, the guiding and educational role of the law is constantly being played, and the traffic awareness of traffic participants is gradually transitioning from "agricultural civilization" to "automobile society". The traffic safety awareness, legal awareness, and civilization awareness of the masses, especially those driving motor vehicles, have significantly increased. In November 2012, the State Council approved the establishment of December 2nd as National Traffic Safety Day, elevating the construction of traffic safety culture to the level of national cultural construction. The Ministry of Public Security, in collaboration with multiple departments, has launched promotional activities such as "complying with traffic signals, safe and civilized travel", "abandoning traffic habits, safe and civilized travel", "resisting seven types of illegal activities, safe and civilized travel", "rejecting dangerous driving, safe and civilized travel", etc. The traffic safety concepts of "complying with traffic signals", "seat belts are life belts", "yielding pedestrians", "drinking alcohol and not driving" have gradually taken root in people's hearts. "When students get off the car, they should try to get off from the inside of the road as much as possible, and pay attention to observing whether there are pedestrians or non motorized vehicles behind the side to avoid" opening the door to kill ". At the same time, if there is a car next to us during normal travel, we should try not to be too close to the car door, maintain a distance of about 1.5 meters, and avoid" careless "drivers or passengers suddenly opening the car door, causing harm to us..." said He Dingpeng, a police officer from the Liuqiao Traffic Police Squadron in Tongzhou District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province. This is a scene on April 24th when he carried out a promotional campaign on the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the Road Traffic Law at Liuqiao Middle School. To prevent accidents, ensure safety, and ensure smooth traffic, during the 20 years since the implementation of the Road Traffic Law, the public security traffic management department has adhered to the main line of "reducing and controlling major traffic accidents" in road traffic accident prevention, and coordinated the promotion of legal governance, source governance, systematic governance, comprehensive governance, and special governance
