Why are buses with more than 7 seats prohibited from entering the expressway in Shuozhou area of ??Shanxi?

This is Shanxi Province’s new regulations for buses entering the province at night: from 8 pm to 6 am the next morning, double-decker sleeper buses from outside Shanxi Province are prohibited from entering Shanxi Province’s expressways; Passenger cars are not allowed to drive on the Xuegongling section and Taijiu section of the Qingyin Expressway, as well as the Taichang Expressway and the Pingyao-Linfen section of the Beijing-Kunming Expressway during this period. In fact, this measure is not only targeted at double-decker sleeper cars from other provinces. As far as I know, all passenger buses with more than 7 seats inside and outside the province are not allowed on the expressway from 8 pm to 6 am the next morning.

In the first half of 2011, 6,103 safety accidents occurred in Shanxi Province, resulting in 1,096 deaths. Among them, there were 2,889 road traffic safety accidents, resulting in 980 deaths. The road traffic safety situation in Linfen, Jinzhong and Xinzhou cities is severe. There were 11 road traffic accidents in the country that killed more than three people at one time, accounting for nearly 46% of the total in the province. There were 1,409 accidents on national and provincial highways, resulting in 627 deaths, accounting for 64% of the total deaths. Since July, four road traffic accidents have occurred in succession across the country, killing more than five people. On July 4, a major accident occurred in Hubei, which killed 23 people and injured 29 people.

So the above-mentioned measures were introduced on July 5, but the specific measures introduced by Shanxi were not very helpful in improving road transportation safety, and even backfired, causing complaints from the majority of drivers and passengers.
