Chen Jiayang said that bicycle-related traffic accidents have risen sharply and the situation is worthy of attention. He pointed out that the traffic headquarters will arrange traffic safety buses today and tomorrow (21-22) to educate the public about road safety and rules.

Chen Jiayang reminded the public to plan the route in advance to understand whether the road section is potentially dangerous, because in the case of "one-vehicle speculation", another 7 accidents occurred on straight roads, and the study did not find a clear location of the black spot, so the public should be able to do so.
