Many traffic accidents occur in Taiwan every year, so the government often advocates paying attention to road safety. A few days ago, a netizen said that he believed that the speed limit in Taiwan is the strictest level in the world, but there are still many traffic accidents every year, and the death rate is higher than that of advanced countries. The top ranking made him wonder, “Is Taiwan’s road safety going in the wrong direction?”
a netizen inPTT postHe pointed out that Taiwan’s speed limit should be considered among the top few in the world. Even on very wide and straight roads, the speed limit is still only 50, and there are even road speed limits of 40 and 30. There are also a bunch of speed cameras and a bunch of intervals Speed measurement, and the expressway is also a speed measurement camera within a few kilometers.
The original PO pointed out that compared with his experience abroad, there are almost no speed cameras on the expressways in Austria, Australia, and Japan. The speed limit in Austria is 130, and the inner lane is above 150. The speed limit in Japan is 60, but he drove to 80 can’t catch up with the car in front. In Australia, many mountain roads are curved and narrow, and although the speed limit is 80, everyone drives very fast.
In this regard, he expressed doubts, “Since Taiwan’s speed limit is so strict, the traffic should be very safe. How can the number of deaths and injuries due to traffic accidents in China rank among the top among advanced countries every year? Will foreigners say it is a pedestrian hell? Is it true that Taiwan is concerned about road safety? Are you going in the wrong direction?”
After the article was exposed, some netizens analyzed the reasons behind it“Poor traffic culture and poor design of moving lines”As a result, he pointed out that “the world is strict because everyone is speeding. I don’t believe that everyone drives 40-50 and there are so many accidents. The road design is poor.” “The problem is not the speed limit, but the quality of the driver and the road planning.” , “Taiwan’s road with a speed limit of 50, a bunch of cars have exceeded it”, “Road design and planning are also the reason, but no one cares about it”, “Taiwan’s driving concept is too bad, everyone thinks they have the most right of the way”, “Casualties are mainly caused by Because of violations and Sambo behavior, speed is secondary.” The original PO also added a message below the article, “Every time there is a dead person, the only improvement after that is to lower the speed limit.”
