The traffic accidents on bridge road
大桥路的交通事故
The rate of the traffic accidents has dropped considerably on bridge road in recent years. According to the statistic we have in hand, only six accidents took place in 2000. This accident rate is even lower than that of 1991 when the rate was not increased yet. In 1992, as the nearby road was closed, bridge road began too busy and a lot of accidents followed consequently. To bring down the accident rate, the local government moved the bus stop 100 yards away from where had been and reduced the accidents markedly. In the next four years, the accident rate remained more less at the same level. Then in the years from 1998 onward, the local government put no parking, no right turn and no over taking signs by the road. All these signs have proved to be very effective in reducing the traffic accidents.
最近几年，大桥路的交通事故明显减少。根据我们所掌握的数据，2000年在大桥路发生的事故仅有6起。交通事故率甚至比1991年还要低。1992年，随着附近公路的关闭，大桥路开始忙碌起来，随即发生了许多交通事故。为了减少交通事故率，当地政府把公交站台向外移了100码的距离，因为这里是事故频发地。在未来的四年内，事故率一直保持着减少的态势。从1998年起，当地政府在路口设置了禁止停车，禁止右拐等标识。这些标识在减少交通事故上起到了关键的角色。
