Chu Da Highway Accidents Analysis and Prevention Suggestion

On 2^nd and 19^th, May, 2005, 11 peoples died in traffic accidents respectively. These two things arouse many reports and discusses in the Internet, which mainly focused on the reasons of the accidents. This paper examined the accidents again, from the aspects of drivers, communication bureau, highway police, and safety watchdog bureau etc. Especially, the reason for the long distance maintenance for Chu Da Highway in Yunnan Province was scrutinized, which demonstrated the Chinese trait again. The worse communication markets, rather unconsciousness of safety for the drivers, road merging caused by long distance highway maintenance, loose road administration etc. are the realities for road tragedies. To eliminate such tragedies, the highway related bureaus should act properly in their roles. The local government should take the communication safety as its important administration target, and the education of people, enforcement of communication act, engineering for safety control and emergency rescue should take as the synthetically measures to reach the target.
