THAILAND:
Traffic accident is a way of an increase. It is presumed that there is loss private property and more than public property bubble 1 billion baht per year (3 billion yen). Human damage, such as an obstacle, death, etc. in which the conversion to the amount of money are impossible, is not included in this. 2or3 persons get injured in the road only in Bangkok in 1 hour, and statistics of the Ministry of Health say that economical loss of about 70 billion baht (210 billion yen) has occurred at home every year. A traffic accident is the first place of the cause of death of Thailand, and is still continuing increasing at a wonderful rate. Although it is a too high number even if it sees this which it is reported in 1 or 1,4000 affair 1990 in 1984 that is 3,3000 affairs, and is increasing more than twice in six years with the increase in vehicle ownership from the saturation level of the present car, and the number of possession, it is expected that it is also continued continue an increase. Things which the so called traffic safety measures are behind that installation of that the traffic rule has not permeated the both sides of a pedestrian and a driver enough, a signal, a pedestrian crossing, and a footbridge is behind as a cause of rapid increase of such a traffic accident and the sidewalk is not improved enough are mentioned. There are 8,184 dead persons of the accident total number of cases in 1992 to 61,329 affairs (Japan is 761,789 affairs) (Japan is 10,678 persons) the dead per 1,000 accidents show the very high thing which, as for this, safety measures have not caught up to progress of motorization compared with 133,4 and Japan (16 8) an increase is enhanced every year, and an improvement of road capacity does not catch up, but the rushes of the evening have social problemized especially the number of automobile registration in. (Japan is the statistics in 1995) SRI LANKA: Sri Lanka focusing on the Colombo bloc in the morning especially a passenger car and a minivan are based on import of the used car from Japan, assign an export agency in Japan, and are importing on a grand scale. Since cargo and passenger was carried especially, there was much import of a minivan and it raised the customs duty concerning this minivan from 20conventional% to 50% by calling it the correspondence to financial difficulties and traffic congestion. On the other hand, the customs duty concerning the car 2,000 cc or more called high-class passenger car was sharply reduced from 120 conventional% to 70%. the point of the road capacity of the above [ the factor of a traffic accident ] and many crossings are rotary systems striving to be first and it runs, and lack of traffic manners overlaps with it and the increase in a traffic accident poses the national traits to say and the speed-demon problem that a social target is also big Although the government is performing campaign, such as traffic rule observance, in mass communications etc., the situation which is not seen completely has an improvement for lukewarm control. The traffic accident number of cases of 1990. 34,463 affairs and the dead is 1,795 persons and 1995. 48,139 accident cases and 1,681 dead persons. INDONESIA: The number of Indonesia cars will be said to have been 560,000 unit in Jakarta and 670,000 unit in Jabotabek in 1990. This is expected to become 2,500,000 unit in Jabotabek and 1,600,000 unit in Jakarta in 2015. Aggravation and complication of a road problem are seen in almost all the cities in Indonesia including Jakarta in recent years. Expansion of a road network, and expansion and the increase in population of the increase and land use of a vehicle cannot be balanced. As other problems, they are traffic congestion, delay, and air pollution. There is a problem of the morals noise and a traffic accident, and a road user's and a driver's morals. In the trunk road in Jakarta at the time of rushes, the air pollution whose average speed of a vehicle is only about 20km/h is over the standard by trunk road every place. Noise pollution becomes healthily detrimental physically, and this is also over the standard by every place. CHINA SHANGHAI: While there is much traffic, the speed of a car is too slow in Shanghai. If it depends, it will reach that serious confusion was seen which is traffic synthesis investigation in 1995 among 160 main crossings of the city central part at 60 or more places. The average speed of the car seen in the whole city fell to 17,5 km /h from 19 or 1km in 1985 to 15,5 km/h in 1995 in 1990. The rate of average load of the trunk road of the peak hour in the Shanghai central part is over 0.9. The run of a bicycle occupied the road for a car or a public means of transportation, and it has had great influence on the run of a car or a public means of transportation. Since the half of the automobile owner most whose cars are parking on the street has not secured the parking space of a privately owned car, it is worsening the traffic situation further. Many of residents have not observed the traffic rule. Causes a traffic accident. |
