The number of traffic accidents under the new traffic rules dropped

According to statistics from the Traffic Police Detachment of the Dalian Public Security Bureau, the active role of the new regulations in regulating the driver’s driving behavior, reducing traffic violations, and preventing serious and serious traffic accidents has been initially demonstrated. Nearly a month after the implementation of the new regulations, the total number of all kinds of motor vehicle traffic violations in Dalian dropped by 20% year-on-year, and the total number of traffic accidents decreased by 5.71% year-on-year. The new rules do allow more drivers to tighten the string of safe driving, especially to effectively curb the red light violations.

On the morning of the 29th, at the crossroads of some major urban roads such as Garden Plaza and People’s Square, reporters observed at random that, as long as the yellow light is on, most drivers will stop in front of the stop line. A driver told reporters: "The new rules have a red light of 6 points once, two red lights, 12 points were deducted. So now, as long as they see the yellow light to stop, safety first." In addition, during the interview, drivers who drove the trucks also said that since the new rules came out, they had paid special attention when driving on the high-speed roads. They must not be over-speeded to avoid being penalized. The changes in the mindset of the drivers are also in line with the statistics of the traffic police department in Dalian. The data show that in the first half month after the implementation of the new rules, the violation of road traffic lights by motor vehicles in Dalian dropped by 41% compared to the previous month. More than 20% of the illegal traffic violations on the expressway carrying passengers and over-speed passenger vehicles were reduced by 37.5%. In addition, due to the driver's greater concentration of attention through the intersection, driving is more cautious, traffic and illegal activities have declined, but also the city's road traffic accidents involving casualties have fallen significantly year-on-year. As of the 20th of this month, the number of such accidents in the city was 33, which was 5.71% less than the same period of last year.

Relevant person in charge of the traffic police department of the Ministry of Public Security stated that at present, most of the traffic participants in Dalian can consciously abide by the traffic signals and have formed a civilized driving style in which the motor vehicle can slow down and take the initiative to polite pedestrians before passing through the intersection. However, there are still a small number of pilots who use mobile phones in unsupervised areas and do not wear seat belts. The traffic police department reminds you that driving and receiving calls will be distracting and there are great security risks. Not wearing a seatbelt is actually putting yourself in an unsafe situation, or giving your driving vehicle an additional safety guarantee.
