国内的高速公路网络是一个引人注目的成就，在2022年达到了惊人的17.7万公里。这一壮丽的里程数将国内高速公路系统的规模推到了世界前列。然而，与任何庞大而复杂的系统一样，高速公路也有其自身的问题和争议。车主们在享受高速公路带来的便捷的同时，也提出了对一些现有规定的质疑和批评。 China's domestic expressway network is a remarkable achievement, reaching an astonishing 177,000 kilometers in 2022. This impressive mileage places the country's expressway system among the world's largest. However, like any vast and complex system, expressways also have their own issues and controversies. While drivers enjoy the convenience brought by expressways, they have raised questions and criticisms about certain existing regulations.
首先，关于高速公路收费的问题，有些车主认为收费偏高。然而，大多数人则更加理智地看待这个问题。毕竟，高速公路的建设和维护需要巨额的资金支持。从这个角度看，通行费用的收取在很大程度上是合情合理的。当然，我们不能忽视那些认为收费过高的人的声音，但是考虑到整个系统的运作，这种收费模式还是得到了大多数车主的认同。 Firstly, regarding the issue of expressway tolls, some vehicle owners believe that the fees are too high. However, most people take a more rational view of this matter. After all, the construction and maintenance of expressways require massive financial support. From this perspective, the collection of tolls is largely reasonable and justifiable. Of course, we cannot ignore the voices of those who consider the fees to be excessive, but considering the overall functioning of the system, this tolling model still receives widespread acceptance among the majority of vehicle owners.
另外，电子收费（ETC）系统近年来在国内得到了广泛的推广。一些车主抱怨，由于ETC的广泛使用，人工收费站逐渐减少，给不使用ETC的车主造成了不便。然而，从另一角度看，ETC系统的推广实际上提高了高速公路的通行效率。根据2022年的统计数据，全国ETC用户达到了2.85亿，而全国汽车保有量为3.19亿，这意味着只有大约10%的车主还没有使用ETC系统。 Furthermore, the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system has been widely promoted in recent years within China. Some vehicle owners complain that due to the widespread adoption of ETC, manual toll booths have gradually decreased, causing inconvenience to those who do not use ETC. However, from another perspective, the expansion of the ETC system has actually improved the efficiency of expressway travel. According to 2022 statistics, the nationwide ETC user count reached 285 million, while the total national vehicle count stood at 319 million. This means that only about 10% of vehicle owners have not yet adopted the ETC system. 然而，不是所有高速公路规定都能得到广泛的接受。第一个就是有消息称山东高速公路正在考虑改革其所谓的“断崖式”限速规定。这种突然的速度变化常常让车主措手不及，一会儿是120公里/小时，下一秒可能就要求你减速到80公里/小时。这不仅增加了驾驶难度，还可能提高了交通事故的风险。 However, not all expressway regulations are widely accepted. The first issue concerns reports that Shandong expressways are considering reforming their so-called 'cliff-like' speed limit regulations. These abrupt speed changes often catch drivers off guard, with speeds shifting from 120 kilometers per hour one moment to requiring a sudden reduction to 80 kilometers per hour the next. This not only increases the difficulty of driving but also potentially raises the risk of traffic accidents.
这一可能的改革受到了广大车主的欢迎。很多人认为，这种“断崖式”限速规定早就应该被取消或改革。毕竟，在高速行驶中，车速是相对较高的，这就需要驾驶员在看到限速标志后能迅速作出反应。而现有的“断崖式”限速规定显然增加了这一挑战的难度。 This potential reform has garnered widespread support from vehicle owners. Many believe that these 'cliff-like' speed limit regulations should have been abolished or reformed long ago. After all, driving at relatively high speeds on expressways requires drivers to react quickly upon seeing speed limit signs. The existing 'cliff-like' speed limit regulations clearly add to the challenge of meeting this requirement. 还有一个值得关注的问题是关于高速公路上的路牌标志。近期有传言称，未来的路牌将只保留中文，取消英文和其他外语标识。对于这一点，车主们的反应也是积极的。在一个以汉字和拼音为主要语言的国家，外语标识确实显得有些多余。它们不仅占用了有限的空间，还可能会分散驾驶员的注意力。 Another issue worth noting concerns road signs on expressways. There have been recent rumors that future road signs will only feature Chinese characters, with the removal of English and other foreign language markings. On this matter, the response from vehicle owners has also been positive. In a country where Chinese characters and pinyin serve as the primary languages, foreign language markings indeed appear somewhat redundant. They not only occupy limited space but may also divert drivers' attention.
为什么这么说呢？因为在高速公路上，车速一直都是比较快的，驾驶员需要快速地获取并处理各种信息。如果路牌上的文字太多或太复杂，很可能会影响驾驶员的判断，从而增加交通事故的风险。因此，简化路牌，只保留最必要的信息，对提高交通安全具有重要意义。 Why is this being said? Because on expressways, the speed of vehicles is consistently high, and drivers need to quickly acquire and process various information. If there is too much or overly complex text on road signs, it can potentially hinder driver judgment and increase the risk of traffic accidents. Therefore, simplifying road signs and retaining only the most essential information is crucial for improving road safety. 综上所述，我国的高速公路系统无疑是一项伟大的工程，它不仅让距离变得更短，也让信息流动更为便捷。但任何系统都不是完美的，总会有一些值得改进的地方。比如山东的“断崖式”限速规定和多语言路牌，这些都是大多数车主认为应该改进或取消的规定。 In summary, China's expressway system is undoubtedly a monumental undertaking that has made distances shorter and information flow more convenient. However, no system is perfect, and there are always areas that can be improved. For example, Shandong's 'cliff-like' speed limit regulations and multilingual road signs are regulations that most vehicle owners believe should be improved or removed. |
