中国道路交通事故现状及发展趋势

Present Status and Trend of Road Traffic Accidents in China

我国汽车工业发展很快,汽车拥有量猛增,自1978年以来我国汽车保有量一直以两位数的百分比率在增长,至2002年底我国汽车已达2141万辆。与此同时,每年因交通事故死亡的人数也在迅速增长,十年间翻了一番,1991年5.3万人,2001年已达10.6万人,2002年为10.9万人,居世界第一位。更值得关注的是这种增长势头至今尚未受到有效遏制和减弱,如不作重大的政策调整,未来十年间道路交通事故年死亡人数还会再翻一番。我国道路交通事故的致死率也很高,比工业发达国家高出10倍。因此,我国道路交通安全形势十分严峻,已经引起全国各有关方面的重视。为努力扭转这种状况,在增加道路交通安全投入的同时,新颁布的《道路交通安全法》对道路交通的安全管理工作进行了全面规范。本文对我国的道路交通事故现状、发展趋势加以介绍和分析。

Since 1978, the number of automobile has maintained double-digit growth in China. By the end of 2002, the number of automobile in our country has reached 21. 41 million. Meanwhile, the annual death toll caused by traffic accidents has also increased rapidly. What de- serves more attention is that this trend of growth has not been effectively checked and weakened. If the re- lated authority is not made the major readjustment policy, the annual death toll caused by road traffic accidents in the next ten years will keep up an upward trend.
