AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Eighteen people including Kuomintang legislator Ye Yuanzhi, 18 other people including Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Junxian, and the People's Party Group respectively drafted the "Draft Amendment to Article 7-2 of the Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations", advocating giving priority to improving roads, centrally standardizing and setting standards, or completely abolishing the interval speed test. Negotiations between the Legislative Yuan Transportation Committee last week failed to reach consensus. The Ministry of Transport explained that most of the section speed tests are set up in long tunnels, long bridges, elevated or road sections without shoulders. In 2014, 536 people were injured on the sections installed, a decrease of 47 compared to 2013; Injuries dropped to 373 in 2015, a decrease of 19.96% compared to the same period in 2014.

The existence and abandonment of "interval speed measurement" has been discussed. The Kuomintang legislator proposed to completely abolish the interval speed measurement. In response to this, Minister of Transportation Chen Shikai said in a joint interview with the media at the Transportation Committee meeting today that interval speed measurement is a method of speed management and is based on safety considerations. However, interval speed measurement is a law enforcement aspect and is the responsibility of the Police Department and respected by the Ministry of Transportation.

Eighteen people including the People's Party, Kuomintang legislator Ye Yuanzhi, and 18 other Democratic Progressive Party legislators Lin Junxian drafted the "Draft Amendment to Article 7-2 of the Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations." The People's Party advocated giving priority to improving roads and using interval speed testing as the last law enforcement method. DPP legislator Lin Junxian asked the central government to unify and standardize the setting standards, and Kuomintang legislator Ye Yuanzhi proposed "the complete abolition of interval speed testing." Negotiations were held last week at the Legislative Yuan Transportation Committee, but ultimately the three-party negotiations failed to reach consensus.

At that time, the Ministry of Transport also stated that most of the inter-area speed tests are set up in long tunnels, long bridges, viaducts, or road sections without shoulders. Comprehensive assessments can be carried out based on road characteristics, accident risks, and law enforcement needs. In 2014, 536 people were injured on the section set up, a decrease of 47 from 2013. Injuries dropped to 373 in 2015, a decrease of 19.96% from the same period in 2014. This is of certain help to traffic safety. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport believes that the establishment of inter-area speed tests is still necessary and should not be completely excluded. As for the installation standards of fixed poles or interval speed cameras, the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Transport can set the standards.

Minister of Transportation Chen Shikai attended the Legislative Yuan Transportation Committee today (11th) to review the 2016 Central Government General Budget regarding the budgets of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Transportation, the Railway Bureau, the High-speed Railway Company and other units. During the meeting, he accepted a joint interview with the media. When asked about the issue of the replacement of the interval speed test, he responded that countries are Speed management is all based on safety considerations. Japan and South Korea have recently strengthened speed management regulations. For the Ministry of Transportation, the main hope is to do a good job. This issue mainly belongs to the law enforcement aspect. However, the police department is mainly responsible for law enforcement. There are many related law enforcement methods, and the Ministry of Transportation respects law enforcement methods.
