Abstract

Objective: To examine changes in red-light running and distracted riding among motorcyclists and cyclists before and after the 2020 implementation of the One Helmet, One Seatbelt campaign in China.

Methods: We obtained 192 hours of film before (2019) and after (2021) implementation of the campaign in eight road intersections in Changsha. We calculated percentages and ratios of red-light running and distracted riding. To assess the associations between these traffic behaviours and the campaign, we used multivariable logistic regression models to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).

Findings: We filmed 5256 motorcyclists and cyclists in 2019 and 6269 in 2021. Red-light running decreased from 45.1% to 41.5% during this period (ratio: 0.92; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.88-0.96), while distracted riding increased from 3.5% to 5.0% (ratio: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.19-1.69). After adjusting for covariates, male riders were more likely to run a red light compared to female riders (aOR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.06-1.55). Red-light running was also more likely among electric bicycle riders (aOR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.10-1.95) and motorcyclists (aOR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.13-1.90) compared to traditional cyclists. All types of riders were less prone to run a red light during peak hours than off-peak hours (aOR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.73-0.99). Distracted riding was more common on weekends compared to weekdays (aOR: 3.01; 95% CI: 2.02-4.49).

Conclusion: China's national road safety campaign, which focuses on helmet and seatbelt use, was associated with reduced red-light running. Strict enforcement and targeted modifications could improve the campaign's effectiveness.

中国道路安全运动前后摩托车手和自行车手的行为。
目的研究中国在 2020 年实施 "一个头盔,一条安全带 "运动前后,摩托车驾驶员和自行车驾驶员闯红灯和分心骑行的变化情况:方法:我们在长沙的八个路口获得了 192 个小时的影片,分别记录了活动实施前(2019 年)和实施后(2021 年)的情况。我们计算了闯红灯和分心骑行的百分比和比率。为了评估这些交通行为与宣传活动之间的关联,我们使用了多变量逻辑回归模型来计算调整后的几率比(aOR):我们在 2019 年拍摄了 5256 名摩托车手和自行车手,在 2021 年拍摄了 6269 名。在此期间,闯红灯的比例从 45.1%降至 41.5%(比率:0.92;95% 置信区间:0.88-0.96),而分心骑行的比例从 3.5%增至 5.0%(比率:1.42;95% 置信区间:1.19-1.69)。在对协变量进行调整后,男性骑行者比女性骑行者更容易闯红灯(aOR:1.28;95% CI:1.06-1.55)。与传统自行车骑行者相比,电动自行车骑行者(aOR:1.46;95% CI:1.10-1.95)和摩托车骑行者(aOR:1.47;95% CI:1.13-1.90)也更容易闯红灯。与非高峰时段相比,所有类型的骑行者在高峰时段闯红灯的概率都较低(aOR:0.85;95% CI:0.73-0.99)。与工作日相比,周末分心骑行的情况更为普遍(aOR:3.01;95% CI:2.02-4.49):结论:中国的全国道路安全运动侧重于头盔和安全带的使用,这与闯红灯现象的减少有关。严格执法和有针对性的修改可以提高活动的效果。
