What is the reason? Road traffic will be affected! These types of accidents and illegal activities are frequent, and Shanghai has officially entered the ambush of trucks | traffic | accidents
Today, Shanghai has officially entered the ambush. With the increase of temperature and severe convective weather, the order of urban road traffic will also be significantly affected, and the hidden dangers of traffic accidents will become more prominent. Traffic violations such as drunk driving and drunk driving are becoming more frequent.
According to statistics from the public security and traffic police department, since June, the daily average motor vehicle travel volume in the city has slightly decreased compared to the previous month, but the traffic flow in logistics transportation, summer tourism, and other areas has continued to increase. The average motor vehicle travel volume on weekends has slightly increased, and the overall traffic flow in Shanghai will show a seasonal growth trend. With the increase of entertainment and dining activities among citizens, the summer is a period of frequent traffic violations such as drunk driving and drunk driving. In addition, there has been a rebound in illegal activities such as motor vehicle racing, street bombing, non motorized vehicle reckless riding, and pedestrians running red lights.
At the same time, Shanghai has entered the main flood season, with frequent occurrence of strong convection and heavy rainfall, which can easily cause traffic obstruction and prominent accident hazards. The public security and traffic police department analyzed the road traffic safety situation in this city in the past three summer years and found that four types of accidents are more frequent:
One is a fatal traffic accident on the highway. In terms of time, noon and early morning are the most frequent periods for such accidents, and the factor of fatigue driving cannot be ignored.
The second is the fatal traffic accident of large trucks. According to statistics, the number of deaths related to large-scale truck accidents accounts for 26.9% of the total number of deaths in summer accidents, with truck failure to yield according to regulations being the main cause of accidents.
The third is accidents involving pedestrians and non motor vehicles. The number of fatalities caused by accidents involving pedestrians and non motorized vehicle drivers and passengers accounts for 88% of the total number of fatalities in summer accidents. Among them, the risk of fatalities caused by accidents involving non motorized vehicles in suburban areas is higher than that in urban areas, and there are more fatalities caused by electric bicycles running red lights, not giving way according to regulations, and driving in the opposite direction.

The fourth is drunk driving accidents. The period from 21:00 at night to 1am the next day is a high incidence of alcohol related traffic accidents, with a relatively high proportion of accidents involving small cars and motorcycles.
Starting from July this year, Shanghai public security organs have deployed a special rectification action throughout the city to maintain traffic order and ensure traffic safety in response to the summer road traffic safety situation. During the operation, the traffic police department will continue to crack down on various types of accidents and illegal activities, strengthen on-site control and accident evacuation at accident prone points, congestion prone points, high incidence points of illegal activities, and disorderly points on highways and urban expressways, to prevent congestion caused by chaos and disasters.
In addition, the traffic police department is actively preparing for flood and typhoon prevention, optimizing and improving the "one by one plan" around 603 underpasses in the city, formulating graded service arrangements to cope with the flood season, and ensuring timely handling of accidents, breakdowns, and other emergencies.
For citizens, safety awareness needs to be further improved in summer when rainstorm and typhoon are frequent, and when traveling in high temperature and bad weather. Especially for citizens preparing for self driving trips, it is necessary to check the condition of their vehicles before long-distance travel. Do not drive a "sick car" on the road, which may cause hidden dangers such as tire blowouts and spontaneous combustion. It is also important to arrange the itinerary reasonably and avoid fatigue driving. Once an accident occurs on the highway, the dual flashing lights should be turned on to ensure that the vehicle pulls over, people evacuate, and the alarm is triggered immediately to prevent secondary accidents.
