Recently, the Municipal Safety Committee Office, in collaboration with the Municipal Transportation Commission, the Municipal Emergency Management Bureau, and the Municipal Traffic Management Bureau, has researched, formulated, and issued the “Work Plan for Deepening Special Rectification of Road Transportation Safety” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”). From now until the end of December, the city will carry out four specialized centralized rectification campaigns targeting passenger transport, general freight, motorcycles and electric vehicles, and hazardous goods transportation, aiming to effectively curb the frequent occurrence of major road transport accidents.
The “Plan” is based on the current situation of road traffic accident prevention and control, clearly outlining four phases for orderly implementation of the special rectification.
The first phase, from now until mid-September, will focus on the “Operation No. 1” campaign for centralized rectification of passenger transport safety, targeting scheduled buses (including rural passenger vehicles), chartered buses, ride-hailing services, “illegal non-operating and rental vehicles,” and passenger vehicles with seven or more seats. Strict checks will be conducted for violations such as overloading, speeding, fatigue driving, and illegal operations.
The second phase, from September to the end of October, will launch “Operation No. 2” for general freight transportation safety, focusing on heavy trucks over 12 tons and light trucks under 4.5 tons. Violations such as overloading, fatigue driving, and illegal modifications will be strictly investigated.
The third phase, in November, will implement “Operation No. 3” for motorcycle and electric vehicle traffic safety, targeting two- and three-wheeled motorcycles, low-speed electric vehicles (so-called “old man’s joy” vehicles), and electric bicycles. Violations such as drunk driving, running red lights, and illegal modifications will be strictly penalized.
The fourth phase, in December, will carry out “Operation No. 4” for centralized rectification of hazardous goods transportation safety, focusing on roads near hazardous goods production and storage facilities. Violations such as speeding, fatigue driving, and unlicensed transportation of hazardous goods will be strictly enforced.
A representative from the Municipal Safety Committee Office stated that this special rectification emphasizes both short-term and long-term solutions. While strict law enforcement will crack down on various traffic violations, efforts will also be made to establish long-term mechanisms, including improving dynamic monitoring systems, enhancing data-sharing mechanisms, and optimizing emergency response plans, to fundamentally enhance road transportation safety.
