With elections approaching, civic groups have introduced the '2026 Traffic Improvement Commitment White Paper for County and City Mayor Candidates.' In 2024, Taiwan recorded 2,950 traffic-related deaths, and the decline in 2025 was only 3.1%. The white paper outlines five policy demands, including the full construction of physical sidewalks on roads wider than 12 meters by 2030, the establishment of safe school zones, and improved public transport in rural areas. Experts argue that Taiwan's traffic design remains 'car-centric,' placing pedestrians at high risk. They are calling on candidates to publicly commit to these specific reforms.
