Sixteen traffic accidents in seven days have killed 21 people and injured 29, according to a report yesterday in Beijing Daily.

The accidents came after speed limits on some train routes were raised on October 1. As a result of the accidents, 5 cars or farm vehicles(车辆) were also destroyed.

The newspaper reported that automobile drivers often cross road junctions(交叉口) in a rush, But did not get out of the way of passing trains in time.

At 7:16 a.m. on October 7, a train heading from Baotou to Xi’ an was passing the section linking Anyi and Banpo. At a road junction 744 kilometers from Anyi, a mini-bus crossed into its path. The collision(碰撞) killed 8 passengers in the mini-bus and injured 20, 14 of them seriously. The train stopped there for 20 minutes. The mini-bus was destroyed.

In addition, some careless pedestrians(行人) were also blamed for the accidents. Pedestrians often broke traffic rules by crossing railroad junctions while paying no attention to traffic signals. Some people got struck while walking along the railway track or crossing it.

New railway rules have raised the speed of trains on 3 railway arteries(干线), Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Harbin, to as much as 150 kilometres per hour. The higher speeds have cut the time from Beijing to Guangzhou by 5 hours. The time from Beijing to Shanghai and Beijing to Harbin has been reduced by more than an hour.

The public security department of the Beijing Railway Bureau warned that train speeds have already been raised and motorists and pedestrians should pay more attention to railway traffic rules.

Crossing a junction by stopping first and then carefully looking both ways is suggested to ensure safety.
