　　Fifth, continue to strengthen publicity and education on traffic safety.

Promote the establishment of 122 "National Traffic Safety Day" to enhance the national traffic safety awareness.

The traffic management internet service platform and the “Traffic Management 12123” mobile APP were comprehensively promoted and applied, and 331 million points of safety warnings and critical business reminders were provided to drivers on a point-to-point basis every year.

　　Li Jiangping said that at present, my country's road traffic safety is still facing many new situations and new problems, and there are still a lot of hidden safety risks.

In the next step, public security organs across the country will focus on the work of "reducing the amount of traffic accidents and controlling the large ones", and earnestly do a good job in the "hundred-day campaign" to rectify prominent traffic violations in summer, so as to create a safer and smoother road traffic environment for the masses to travel.
