[Reporter Wu Junfeng/Tainan Report] There have been 3 fatal accidents of A1 locomotives in the Tainan Longqi section of Line 182 since the beginning of this year, and 3 people were killed within 20 days. In addition to the tragedy, some netizens also pointed out the local traffic chaos. The gathered locomotives turned around at the intersection of traffic lights or the gap in the separation island, running back and forth, "like a rotating sushi car in the speed measurement zone."

At the intersection of Tainan Longqi and Kaohsiung Neimen on Line 182, there is a well-known "Shuitong Bend". The rider regards the nearby road as one of the "mountain running holy places". It starts from Longhu Palace, which is 26 kilometers from the front end on the west side, and goes east to Zhouzhou, which is 29.5 kilometers away. In the world, due to the frequent occurrence of locomotive accidents, netizens jokingly called themselves falling into bends.

On the afternoon of the 29th, another ordinary heavy machine lost control and hit the roadside guardrail in the local area. The rider was sent to the hospital and died. This is the third motorcycle fatal accident this year.

From the accident site, it was found that there were only 20 days before and after, and within a distance of only 1 kilometer, there had been 3 deaths, and the frequency was quite astonishing. In particular, there were 2 fatal car accidents on the Longqi 182 line last year, which made the nearby people sigh, "This year In just one month, it exceeded the standard for the whole year of last year."

The speed limit on Longqi Line 182 is 50 kilometers. In fact, in order to deter violations, the Tainan City Police have tried various methods, installed fixed speed camera poles, built an interval speed measurement system, and arranged mobile joint inspections. Traffic lights were installed at the intersection, and the gaps in the central separation island were blocked to prevent the locomotive from turning around, but unfortunately accidents still occurred, leaving law enforcement officers helpless.

According to statistics from the Qui Nhon Police Station, since the beginning of this year, there have been more than 1,400 cases of speeding violations banned on Longqi Line 182, and this does not include the city police station’s reports on fixed-pole speed tests and section speed tests.

As for last year, the Qui Nhon Police Station cracked down more than 3,800 cases of speeding on Longqi Line 182, an increase of nearly 1,200 cases compared to the same period of the previous year, showing the determination to strictly enforce the law.

Mayor Huang Weizhe said that he will evaluate whether to implement technological law enforcement, and implement and strengthen the crackdown on violations, increase the rate of seeing the police, avoid the gathering of knights, and do everything possible to curb it; , How to improve the markings, slow down the driving, etc., put forward professional suggestions, and jointly develop countermeasures.

The Tainan Longqi Section of Line 182, which enters the mountainous area, is at the state border close to the inner gate of Kaohsiung in the east. Because of the winding and undulating road, it often attracts motorcycles to gather, and they use the signal intersection or the separation island gap to turn around and run back and forth. Traffic accidents are frequent .

According to the preliminary understanding of the police, the accident on the 29th occurred 28.5 kilometers west to east of Longqi Highway 182. When the 53-year-old male rider surnamed Qiu was driving towards the inner gate in the afternoon, he suddenly lost control and hit the roadside guardrail, and the car and others fell into the drainage ditch. Inside, nearby witnesses saw the situation and immediately assisted the police and traffic control, but the injured were still pronounced dead at night after being sent to the hospital.

The cause of the accident was preliminarily judged to be that the accident was caused by the failure to slow down according to the regulations when passing the curve, and the Qui Nhon Police Station is conducting an in-depth investigation and clarification based on the footage of the driving recorder.

On the 10th of this month, a locomotive chased and collided with a truck at a distance of 27.5 kilometers from east to west. 2nd fatal car accident this year.

During the Lunar New Year period, the Qui Nhon police strictly inspected and banned Line 182 to curb violations and speeding. However, the third fatal car accident occurred in the afternoon of the last day of the holiday, which is regrettable.

Longqi Line 182 is close to Kaohsiung's Neimen section. Because of its winding and undulating curves, it is regarded as one of the "sacred places for mountain running" by motorcycle riders.
