Road accidents are a major global public safety and health problem. Presently, many countries such as China urgently need to find better strategies to improve their road safety. This paper has two key objectives, which are: (i) to propose potential solutions to improve China's road safety, and (ii) to provide China and other countries with helpful evidence for their future road safety.
This study attempts to use an evidence-based safety approach to propose some potential strategies for China's road safety.
First, the current status of China's road safety was analyzed. Second, major road safety problems in China were identified and discussed. Finally, this paper illustrates China's road safety strategies based on available evidence.
Presently and in the future, China's road safety is facing a series of problems, such as increasing road safety management pressure, the weak road safety management foundation, and the lack of government supervision. To improve road safety, China should adopt a comprehensive strategy, which includes road safety risk prevention and control, road safety legislation, road safety supervision, road safety research and its application, road safety propaganda and education, and road safety culture, etc.
道路交通事故是一个全球性的主要公共安全和卫生问题。目前,许多国家,如中国,迫切需要找到更好的策略来提高道路安全。本文有两个主要目标,即:(i)提出改善中国道路安全的潜在解决方案,(ii)为中国和其他国家提供未来道路安全的有用证据。
本研究试图采用循证安全方法为中国道路安全提出一些潜在策略。
首先,分析了中国道路安全的现状。其次,确定并讨论了中国的主要道路安全问题。最后,本文根据现有证据说明了中国的道路安全策略。
目前和未来,中国道路安全面临着一系列问题,如道路安全管理压力不断增加、道路安全管理基础薄弱以及政府监督不足。为了提高道路安全,中国应采取综合策略,包括道路安全风险预防和控制、道路安全立法、道路安全监督、道路安全研究及其应用、道路安全宣传教育和道路安全文化等。
