accident statistics and traffic safety situation

Such traffic accidents are not isolated. Traffic accident statistics are an important instrument for assessing security on our streets. According to destatis.de , the collected data serve as the basis for measures in legislation and traffic education. These statistics make it possible to better understand the structures of the accident and the factors that contribute to accidents. They include comprehensive information on the vehicles involved in the accident, the persons and the causes of accidents, which is used in transport policy.

A look at the national borders shows that similar trends can also be observed elsewhere. In the police headquarters in Südosthessen, according to ppsoh.polizei.hessen.de , there was a slight decline in the police accidents recorded by the police. Nevertheless, there was an increase in traffic fatalities, in which about half of them were weaker road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. A particularly worrying trend is the increase in accidents with e-scooters, while the numbers decreased under the influence of alcohol in the event of accidents.

The situation on our streets is and remains an important topic. In view of the increasing number of accidents in certain categories, it is essential that all road users take responsibility in order to increase security and avoid such tragic incidents. Each of us can make a contribution to get to the goal.
