Fengshan, Gao City takes a multi-pronged approach to prevent car accidents and improves 124 traffic projects

According to the latest statistics from Kaohsiung City, there have been more than 1,000 traffic accidents at unsigned intersections in Fengshan District. The police have adopted six major prevention strategies. In addition to strengthening crackdowns, they have written to the city government to improve 124 traffic projects, such as turning green lights 3 seconds earlier to reduce traffic interweaving and adding traffic poles to prevent collisions. They also proactively eliminate road hazards such as falling fruit and prevent secondary traffic accidents.

In addition to strengthening law enforcement at unsigned intersections and high-visibility speed measurement to encourage drivers to voluntarily slow down, and conducting traffic inspections every 15 minutes to increase the police alert rate at key intersections, the police proactively eliminated road hazards to prevent secondary traffic accidents, collaborated across agencies to improve 124 road projects, and went deep into campuses and communities to promote traffic safety among age groups.

Through inspections, accident analysis and public feedback, the police reported 124 traffic projects, which were investigated and improved by the Transportation Bureau, Works Bureau and others to reduce the risk of traffic conflicts from the source, such as traffic lanes and interweaving of traffic at Caogong and Guangyuan intersections, adjusting the north-south fast and slow lane separation lines to optimize traffic space, and adding a left turn on Cao Highway , right turn and straight direction lines, and yellow mesh lines are drawn to prevent vehicles from blocking the intersection, and the eastbound green light on Guangyuan Road turns on three seconds earlier to reduce the risk of vehicle intersection and intersection congestion; the cement base next to the Mazu Port Bridge is often collided with people, and traffic poles were added after the police reported it to improve the visibility of road facilities and maintain driving safety.

The police also responded to unexpected situations such as falling fruit on the road, collapsed road trees, and other emergencies that may affect driving safety. They immediately arrived at the scene to provide vigilance, assist in removing road obstacles, and notify the responsible authorities to deal with them when necessary to avoid secondary traffic accidents. For example, at the intersection of Youtube and Zhonglun 1st Road, a motorcycle rider was injured due to falling fruit on the road. A taxi driver accidentally slipped on a fruit while turning right, and the police urgently laid wood chips to prevent slipping to reduce the risk of another slip. Trees collapsed at the entrance of Lane 31 of Guolong Road, in front of No. 152, Section 1, Guotai Road, and in front of No. 43, Fengdong Third Street, blocking traffic. The police assisted in troubleshooting and maintaining traffic safety.
