New road planning expands and updates with the new blueprint of urban planning. Therefore the transportation routes substantially changes, followed by the parties to urge the government to control traffic accident. In order to keep up the pace with the public transportation trends and environmental awareness, the city government rebuilds the old roads efficient, make the road planning more convenient and effective in preventing traffic accidents, designing the traffic more convenient and more safely. Furthermore, the city government reconstructs old urban area and roads that poorly designed, cutting the curved roads to straight to lower down the traffic accident rate. In the urbanization process, people seeking the convenience of transportation and improved infrastructure, migrating with the development of the city, and they pay more attention to traffic safety around them. Public satisfaction is the pursuit of government. In considering the traffic needs of people and reduction of usage of police force and decrease the burden of people, the goal of reducing traffic accidents is the guidelines of government policy. In this study, we collect data of populations, urban changes, traffic accidents, vehicle numbers, and other related information, then calculate and analyze the data through Microsoft Excel, and cross compare each factor. Wish to find out the impact factors of traffic accidents as well as the differences and examine the feasibility of accident prevention strategy. Hope this will arouse the public about road safety and enhance traffic safety for road users, and look for perfect public transportation system planning and construction, to improve the safety of people on road, so that a more vibrant urban transportation network to meet People''s expectations.
