Yixing, Jiangsu: Weaving a dense “safety net” and opening the “door to happiness”

“When there was no renovation before, I always felt unsafe.” Mr. Wang, a citizen of Yixing, Jiangsu Province, said that since Yangxiang Town in the city has closed intersections and trimmed greens on many rural roads such as the Beizhi Line , updated street lights and other series of renovations, making travel more comfortable and safer.

The roads in rural areas have “multiple points, wide areas and long lines”, and the public’s traffic safety awareness is weak. Since the launch of the second batch of thematic education, Yixing has relied on the results of the previous stage of rectification to continue to promote special rectification actions for rural road traffic safety, further weaving the \”safety net\” of rural roads, and opening the \”happiness door\” to the masses.

Rural road traffic safety is closely related to people’s livelihood and well-being. Heqiao Town took the road traffic safety \”winter attack\” action as an opportunity to take the initiative to visit key units such as freight companies and logistics companies in the area to conduct comprehensive inspections of freight vehicles to eliminate road traffic safety hazards from the source; to Nanxin Highway, military and civilian Roads and other rural road accident-prone sections should add anti-collision guardrails, additional warning signs, sign lines, and speed bumps to further regulate vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Only by paying equal attention to surprise rectification and publicity and guidance can the \”stubborn disease\” affecting rural road traffic safety be eradicated. Since March last year, Yangxiang Town has established and improved the \”red and black list\” system for road traffic accident prevention in local villages (communities), continued to improve and promote village rules and regulations, and factory rules and regulations, and adopted the \”Red Seal Yangxiang Civilized Action\” points Measures such as the system and \”all-factor grid officers + traffic counselors\” achieve a combination of rigid systems and flexible guidance to promote civilized travel among the masses.

Small renovations lead to big improvements. Since 2023, Yixing City has focused on \”roads, people, vehicles, enterprises\” and other links to solve the \”big list\” of 29 outstanding problems on rural roads in 7 categories and the \”small list\” of 6,091 safety hazards, completing 30 items with high standards county road, Traffic safety has been improved and improved on 51 rural roads, with a total of 7 kilometers of roads widened, 26 channelized intersections, 6 dangerous bridges renovated, 35 dangerous intersections closed, 89 harbor-style bus stops renovated, and more than 3,000 traffic safety facilities improved.
