Concluding the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang highly appreciated the efforts of ministries, branches and localities in implementing solutions to ensure traffic safety and order in recent times. In particular, the number of deaths due to traffic accidents has decreased, and traffic accidents related to beer and alcohol have also decreased significantly.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that traffic accidents bring a lot of pain to people, especially mental loss, causing economic difficulties for families whose relatives are involved in traffic accidents.
Therefore, there needs to be a shared responsibility in restoring traffic safety order and discipline. The solutions that need to be focused on are to promote propaganda and change people's awareness, not only for those who directly participate in traffic. Media agencies, units and organizations should focus on promoting information and propaganda, in addition to traditional platforms, it is necessary to promote through social networking applications. Replicate good models and practices to educate and raise awareness of compliance with traffic safety laws such as launching a movement to build localities that ensure traffic safety.
Authorities should improve the quality of vehicle management, especially for freight and passenger transport. Invest resources in traffic infrastructure management, including promptly handling black spots and potential traffic safety risks.
Localities, especially large cities and localities with negative traffic accident indicators, must be more drastic in implementing solutions; pay attention to the forces directly responsible for ensuring traffic safety and order; proactively propose effective solutions to ensure traffic safety and order.
Authorities should increase patrols and strictly handle violations in the spirit of “no exceptions, no forbidden zones” to ensure general deterrence and prevention. Apply information technology in management, monitoring and handling, contributing to raising awareness through deterrence measures.
