How to do a good job of road traffic safety in winter

Winter is a frequent period of road traffic accidents. Since the beginning of winter, the changeable climate has brought a lot of inconvenience to drivers, and at the same time it has increased the difficulty for traffic managers to control the road surface. The sudden change of bad weather in winter makes people unable to adapt in time, and people's judgment and reaction ability decline, which often leads to normal traffic disorder. At the same time, the bad weather environment often causes the road to slip, which greatly weakens the braking efficiency of vehicles, reduces the driver's ability to prevent traffic accidents, and leads to traffic accidents.

Therefore, from the perspective of traffic safety, it is of positive significance to prevent road traffic accidents in winter. It is a compulsory course for our traffic management department to take effective measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of road traffic accidents to the maximum extent and ensure the safe and smooth roads in the jurisdiction.

First, some main factors causing traffic accidents in winter

(1) weather factors. First, the cold wind is whistling and the dust is flying. Since the winter, due to the dry climate, the dust on the road surface flies with the wind, blocking the driver's sight distance, making it difficult to see the road ahead and making it difficult for vehicles to drive. Second, the fog is shrouded and the line of sight is blurred. Because of the cold climate, especially in the morning and evening, the fog is shrouded and hazy, the visibility is reduced, the driver's vision is narrowed and blocked, and what he can see before becomes blurred, which makes it more difficult for the driver to see clearly, and it is easy to have illusions about the road conditions and traffic environment ahead, making it difficult to make correct observations and accurate judgments. Rear-end collision or frontal collision is easy to occur during driving.

(2) Road reasons. Snow slippery in winter and snowy road surface are the main causes of traffic accidents. The vehicle can't stop uphill and downhill, and the direction is not satisfactory when turning. If the speed is faster, there may be problems. The car lacks stability because of the slippery road. If a pedestrian gets on the wrong bus, it will definitely cause a traffic accident if he is not careful for a while.

(3) Other factors. In winter, people generally wear much more clothes, and their hands and feet are numb and inflexible. In particular, some motorcycle and bicycle drivers, wearing fully enclosed safety helmets or cotton caps and earmuffs, lack sufficient judgment and response to the surrounding road traffic conditions, and often make minor mistakes, which may easily lead to traffic accidents. Furthermore, low temperature conditions will also affect the technical performance of motor vehicles. In cold weather, the safety performance of important components such as engines will be greatly reduced due to the influence of high temperature, which will affect driving safety.

Second, the measures to deal with the bad weather in winter

(1) Strengthen source management and enhance police awareness of prevention and control. All squadrons are required to further strengthen the source management of passenger vehicles and student vehicles, strengthen the regular education of drivers based on the prevention of serious traffic accidents, especially the education and management of operating vehicles and drivers, carry out dynamic supervision, strictly implement the relevant requirements of source management, and resolutely put an end to unqualified vehicles engaged in transportation, unqualified vehicles leaving the station, and drivers illegally engaged in passenger transport.

(two) timely grasp the meteorological changes and road traffic conditions. Traffic management departments should improve the bad weather work plan, establish and improve the meteorological and traffic safety early warning system. Make early arrangements and actions for accident prevention under bad weather conditions, and strive for initiative. In case of bad weather, the plan should be started immediately, and the weather closely related to traffic safety should be predicted by the meteorological station in time and reported to the traffic management department so that the traffic management department can make a decision quickly.

(3) Strengthen organizational leadership. Strengthen the analysis and research on traffic accidents in ice and snow days that affect traffic safety in winter, actively explore the law of bad weather accidents in this area, and formulate practical emergency plans for road traffic management. Set up a leading group for road traffic safety management in bad weather led by relevant functional departments, mobilize the whole people, go all out, respond quickly and respond positively to ensure the orderly implementation of various emergency measures for road traffic management under bad weather conditions. At the same time, coordinate the county government to clarify the responsibilities and tasks of relevant functional departments under bad weather conditions, establish and improve a multi-level, three-dimensional and all-round coordination and linkage mechanism, and make concerted efforts to form a joint force.

(four) to strengthen the winter traffic safety publicity. Vigorously deepen the "five-in" publicity measures, highlight the publicity key points, focus on the target, focus on the publicity of various situations in which vehicles are prone to breakdown and accidents in winter, and improve the traffic safety awareness of traffic participants in winter. First, strengthen the education and management of motor vehicle drivers. It is necessary to strengthen education and correct drivers who have problems such as inattention, arbitrariness and reckless operation; Drivers who are tired of driving, intentionally committing crimes and impulsive should be severely punished. The second is to strengthen the safety education of cyclists. Educate cyclists to turn left by bike in bad weather, pay attention to traffic and don't cross the road; Special poncho tool, easy to use, light in weight and reflective. The third is to strengthen the education of pedestrians. Educate pedestrians not to jaywalk, cross the road and walk on the sidewalk, and cross the road to see the traffic clearly.
