With the rapid development of China's economy, the transportation industry is also growing, and the number of vehicles and drivers is increasing year by year, which invisibly intensifies the contradiction between road traffic demand and road traffic facilities construction, thus inducing many unsafe factors, road traffic accidents are on the rise year by year, and the traffic safety situation is becoming increasingly severe. In China, thousands of people die in traffic accidents every year. Through investigation and accident analysis at the grass-roots level, the causes of traffic accidents are various, but the most important thing is the indifference of drivers' safety awareness and laws and regulations. Traffic safety education can't keep up with the development of traffic situation, and the hidden dangers of road safety restrict the further development of national economy and society and affect the continuous improvement of people's living standards. It can be seen that to solve the problems existing in road traffic safety, in addition to continuously strengthening the construction of road traffic facilities, it is more important to strengthen the publicity of traffic laws and regulations, strengthen the safety education for the broad masses of the people, and effectively solve the road traffic safety problems from the perspective of "people".

First, China's road traffic safety problems and causes

1. Judging from the current situation of road traffic in China, road traffic in China is in the process of development, with "mixed traffic" and "plane traffic" as the mainstay, and the phenomenon of mixed traffic between people and vehicles is more common, especially in small cities and vast rural areas. The contradiction between the rapid increase of vehicles and the relatively backward construction of road facilities is becoming more and more prominent, and road traffic is in a bottleneck state. In order to solve this contradiction, it is not enough to improve the existing traffic conditions and traffic management. At present, the most urgent thing is to improve the traffic safety awareness and legal awareness of traffic participants as soon as possible to make up for the contradiction of insufficient road facilities construction.

Second, from the legal quality of traffic participants, the weak link of traffic safety is that people's awareness of laws and regulations is relatively indifferent. Since the first Road Safety Law was promulgated in 2004, the legislation time was late, but it reflected the importance of road traffic safety at the national level, adapted to the new situation of traffic safety in China and overcame the backwardness of traffic management in the past. However, people's understanding of the law is still relatively simple, and their ideological attention is not enough. The publicity of traffic laws in the whole society is still seriously insufficient. In this regard, it is imperative to increase the publicity of laws and regulations. Only by strengthening it can it not be weakened.

Third, from the perspective of people's self-discipline, people do not pay enough attention to traffic safety. Improving people's traffic safety awareness and traffic behavior ability is the basis of doing a good job in traffic management. Traffic safety has different requirements for pedestrians and drivers, and they should consciously abide by traffic laws and obey traffic signals and the command of traffic police. In fact, quite a few people are self-righteous, driving heroic cars, ignoring vulnerable people and not obeying traffic rules, which eventually leads to traffic accidents and property losses. For example, some farmers occupy the road to dry grain without authorization, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles grab the road, and some drivers are speeding and overloading, and drunk driving is illegal. Therefore, improving people's awareness of self-discipline is fundamental to ensure traffic safety.

Traffic safety education is a soft work, which needs the attention and support of the whole society. Only through publicity and education can we effectively improve the law-abiding awareness of traffic participants. Obeying traffic laws and regulations is an important aspect of reflecting people's quality. Our traffic management department should do a good job in traffic safety publicity and education with great fanfare, make people understand the legal norms, improve their moral quality, make pedestrians and drivers consciously abide by road management regulations and traffic laws and regulations, drive in a civilized and safe way, and effectively curb or reduce traffic accidents. To do a good job in traffic safety education, I think we should focus on the safety education of the following people.

First, strengthen youth traffic safety education. Carrying out traffic safety knowledge education among teenagers is a major issue related to the construction of socialist spiritual civilization for a generation. By educating teenagers, we can strengthen their legal concept, improve their consciousness of obeying the law, and form a virtue and fashion, which is far beyond the scope of maintaining traffic order. In youth education, the emphasis is on family education and school education. As early as the 1950s, western countries had laws and regulations to provide compulsory traffic safety education for young students, set up traffic parks in urban areas to guide students to learn to ride bicycles and motorcycles, and set up traffic safety classes in schools to teach students to know traffic signals and signs and be familiar with traffic laws and regulations. In China, there are quite a few traffic accidents, which are caused by young students' weak legal concept, lack of traffic safety knowledge and non-compliance with traffic laws and regulations. Family is the first classroom for teenagers to grow up, and parents are their children's first teachers, so they have the obligation to educate their children well. School age is an important stage of children's growth. Schools should not neglect the cultivation of children's ability and quality in pursuit of enrollment rate. They should incorporate traffic safety education into it, extensively carry out various, interesting and popular traffic safety education activities, make them standardized, institutionalized and legalized, and take traffic safety education for young students as a systematic project to cultivate talents and achieve results.

The second is to strengthen the safety education for drivers. From the analysis of traffic accidents in recent years, there are the following characteristics: first, traffic accidents in individual transportation industry are on the rise, accounting for 30% of traffic accidents; Second, traffic accidents caused by overloading and illegal driving are more serious, accounting for more than 60% of the accidents. From the analysis of the causes of accidents, drivers' illegal speeding, overloading, forced overtaking, drunk driving, fatigue driving and improper measures are the main causes of traffic accidents. Drivers should be educated from three aspects. The first is to promote environmental education. Make the majority of drivers know about China's national conditions, familiar with China's highway conditions, familiar with road traffic conditions, memorize traffic facilities, sign setting and matters needing attention, and drive safely. The second is to improve the driver's skills. Through the strict audit system, we can ensure the driver's operating skills and realize safe driving and driving. The third is to educate drivers about safety regulations. Do civilized driving, safe driving and safe driving according to law. The fourth is to educate drivers on professional ethics, so as not to grab the road, fight, drive fatigue and drive in a civilized and safe way. Fifth, according to the characteristics of individual transporters, strengthen targeted education. Through the "Five Enters" publicity, the leaders of the brigade are responsible for the division of labor, strengthen contact with enterprise motorcades, and carry out publicity and education in logistics enterprises. Strengthen the vehicle inspection system and educate them through annual inspection. Strengthen road inspections, strengthen law enforcement supervision, and make them consciously abide by road traffic laws and regulations.

Third, strengthen the safety education for urban residents. In recent years, accidents have occurred frequently in urban areas, accounting for more than 40% of the total traffic accidents. This is mainly due to the dense population and crowded vehicles in urban areas, and it is also related to the relatively large number of vehicles in urban construction projects. It is very important to standardize and rectify the urban traffic order and strengthen the safety education of urban residents. Urban residents' traffic safety education is mainly through publicity panels, publicity of mobile vehicles, cultural performances and other forms, so that the majority of residents can receive safety education. Through the establishment of urban traffic safety communities, traffic theme parks, traffic safety streets and other forms, let residents consciously accept traffic safety education. At the same time, all social units inject traffic safety education in strengthening administrative management, improve people's safety awareness, abide by traffic safety laws and regulations, and ensure road traffic safety.
