Safety Countermeasures and Accident Prevention Measures in Traffic Design

Abstract

Traffic design plays a critical role in ensuring traffic safety. This article discusses the close relationship between traffic design and safety, analyzes potential risk factors in traffic design, and proposes targeted safety measures and accident prevention measures. Traffic design must follow the basic principles of science, reasonably lay out roads, set up traffic signs and markings to ensure safety and smoothness. Safety hazards such as unreasonable road layout, improper setting of traffic markings, and road condition changes caused by adverse weather are key issues in traffic safety management. To address these issues, effective solutions have been proposed, including standardized lane and shoulder design, application of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and improvement of road drainage and anti-skid design. These measures can not only reduce the incidence of traffic accidents, but also improve the safety and efficiency of the overall transportation system.
