Chairman of the Hoa Binh Province People’s Committee Nguyen
Van Quang gives instructions on traffic safety ensuring in 2018.
Thanks to strong efforts of all-level authorities
and relevant sectors, the traffic situation in Hoa Binh was improved in 2017.
The province recorded 102 traffic accidents last year which killed 78 people
and injured 79 others. The respective figures declined by 11, 14 and 4 from
2016. There were no particularly serious accidents. Up to 73 percent of the
accidents were reported on national highways while 60 percent of the total
cases involved motorbikes.
The accidents were mainly caused by road users’
defiance of traffic rules when they speeded, abused alcohol, and moved in wrong
lanes. Meanwhile, not wearing helmets was a major cause of death in motorbike
accidents.
Officials at the event noted in 2017, provincial
authorities also made drastic moves to address flood consequences in order to
ensure traffic safety. While the management of vehicles and drivers was
improved, patrols and settlement of traffic rule violations were carried out in
a regular manner.
Hoa Binh aims to reduce the numbers of
accidents, deaths and injured people by at least 5 percent in 2018.
Speaking at the conference, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang asked the local political system
to bring into play its role in steering traffic safety ensuring work. They need
to reform communication contents and methods to raise public awareness of
traffic rules, promote state management of traffic safety ensuring, and step up
the protection of traffic infrastructure.
They should also increase coordination among
relevant forces, launch patrol campaigns to control and strictly deal with
violations, especially those relating to passenger transportation and oversized
and overloaded vehicles. Authorised agencies also need to make efforts to
ensure traffic safety throughout the Lunar New Year holiday and spring festivals,
he added./.
