The traffic accidents on bridge road
The rate of the traffic accidents has dropped considerably on bridge road in recent years. According to the statistic we have in hand, only six accidents to place in 2000. This accident rate is even lower than that of 1991 when the rate was not increased yet. In 1992, as the nearby road was closed, bridge road began too busy and a lot of accidents followed consequently. To bring down the accident rate, the local government moved the bus stop 100 yards away from where had been and reduced the accidents markedly. In the next four years, the accident rate remained more less at the same level. Then in the years from 1998 onward, the local government put no parking, no right turn and no over taking signs by the road. All these signs have proved to be very effective in reducing the traffic accidents. |
