密苏里州科尔县杰斐逊城交通厅10月30日呼吁系好安全带放下手机：今年全州公路死亡716人、力保连续四年下降
密苏里州科尔县杰斐逊城，密苏里州交通厅10月30日发布公路安全呼吁，力保全州公路死亡人数连续第四年下降，这一纪录自2011年以来未曾出现。10月28日是第10个年度“系好安全带、放下手机日”，全州各地的安全伙伴、学校和企业借此宣传驾驶时的个人责任与安全行为。截至目前，2026年密苏里州公路上已有716人死亡，其中超过半数车内遇难者没有系安全带。交通厅州公路安全与交通工程师乔恩·尼尔森提醒，11月和12月是保住下降势头的关键期，去年同期这两个月全州就有144人在交通事故中丧生。交通厅呼吁驾驶人在节日与冬季出行季系好安全带、开车不看手机，公众可在交通厅网站接受“系好安全带、放下手机”挑战，并在社交媒体上用相关标签传播这一倡议。
Missouri Highway Patrol Runs Statewide Traffic Safety Week Ahead of Halloween, Focusing on Impaired and Distracted Driving
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is running a statewide Traffic Safety Week from October 28 to November 2, stepping up patrols ahead of Halloween and through the weekend, with particular attention to impaired and distracted driving. Troopers remind drivers to watch for trick-or-treating children, drive sober, put phones down, and follow the state's new hands-free law, which took effect in August.
The campaign covers Jefferson City in Cole County and other regions, and the patrol will deploy additional personnel as traffic surges around school and neighborhood events, when children are at highest risk. Distractions such as eating, adjusting the radio and searching the cabin endanger other vehicles in seconds, and drivers who plan to drink are urged to arrange a sober ride or ride-hailing in advance.
