Ministry helps ensure fair prices for bumper crops
Thousands of traffic signs improved nationwide
A total of 283,000 traffic signs have been added or adjusted on China's national expressways and highways, according to an official with the Ministry of Transport.
Related data on the internet and navigation systems had also been updated, Zhou Rongfeng, deputy head of the ministry's road network management department, said at a news conference in Beijing on Oct 24.
The ministry officially launched the work to improve traffic signs on the national highway network in March last year, Zhou said.
Over 18 months, 76,000 traffic signs on national expressways and 207,000 on ordinary national highways had been added or adjusted, Zhou said.
The changes will make travel more convenient for drivers as they will be able to more easily recognize road information and better understand traffic signs which will aid navigation, he said.
