[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The traffic issue in Taiwan has recently aroused criticism from all walks of life. The official website of the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs has even issued a warning on Taiwan's traffic as "unpredictable and aggressive" on the official website of the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In this regard, a well-known blogger shared in a PO article a few days ago that a traffic accident occurred in Switzerland last Christmas, and discussed how rigorously the entire Swiss society paid attention to the follow-up and actively voiced the voice for improvement.

A 5-year-old boy was hit and killed by a car while crossing the road on a zebra crossing.

And after this tragedy, Switzerland, which attaches great importance to the safety of children and pedestrians, sparked an astonishingly wide-ranging discussion.

"Behind the Beautiful Country: Switzerland You Don't Know" pointed out that the car accident happened in the busy fifth district of Zurich, which is a very long zebra crossing. The school and the local government reported that "this route to school is very dangerous", but the accident still happened.

The accident not only attracted the attention of many Swiss parents, but also attracted politicians, pedestrian right-of-way experts and other parties to join in the review of how to make practical improvements.

Fanzhuan mentioned that Swiss politicians began to raise slogans such as, "What kind of growth environment does this society want to give children? Is it a safe route to walk to and from school freely? Or should we adopt American-style highwayism?" and other slogans, although some people Proposed that "pedestrians can only use the underpass", but refuted that it does not conform to the urban planning of the city government; while the pedestrian right of way expert pointed out that "our traffic is too busy, so children are at risk", and explored how to protect the Swiss constitution The right of "children to go to school by themselves" can also protect the safety of children on the way to school.

Seeing that the entire Swiss society has shown a very strict attitude towards "pedestrian right of way" and "child safety" in the event of a traffic accident, fans expressed their feelings, "At the busiest traffic intersection in Zurich, and Taiwan Compared with the intersections in the area, it is nothing. One accident caused a lot of discussions. As long as there are vehicles driving that don’t care about the right of way of pedestrians, the safety of pedestrians will be threatened.”

Fan Zhuan also mentioned that compared to a traffic accident in Switzerland, it can trigger discussions and improve it from all walks of life. "There are too many traffic accidents in Taiwan. One accident may lose attention after one or two days of discussion, which is a big difference." Share the serious comments given by the official website of the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Taiwan's traffic, such as "heavy traffic, unpredictable and aggressive driving behavior", "walking on the zebra crossing accidentally will kill you" and other serious evaluations.

After the post was exposed, the article immediately aroused the response of many netizens, and even Taiwanese legislator Wang Wanyu shared the article, "Two people die in one year, they are so strict, what about us?", "In Taichung, there were three cases of pedestrians walking on the zebra crossing It's an understatement", "We in Taiwan have the media on the second day and start to bring the wind direction 'but pedestrians are slowly slipping their mobile phones'", "Taiwanese people are used to building their own convenience on the cost of spilling over to the society, and over time it becomes a certain kind of law of the jungle".

The Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on Taiwan's traffic as "walking on the zebra crossing will kill you."
