Abstract:
With the process of rapid mobilization,China is suffering from huge road tolls.The ethical issues related to road safety are also emerging.To provide recommendations for relevant public policies,we discussed several ethical issues in this article as follows.Human lives and health may not be traded off for the benefit of mobilization.The designers,regulators of road traffic system share responsibilities for road safety with users.The principle of equity needs to be embodied in the road traffic system.Therefore,it is necessary to increase investment in underdeveloped areas and enhance the protection of vulnerable road users.
