The traffic situation in Germany
In Germany, the issue of traffic safety is of great importance. In 2024, about 2.5 million road traffic accidents were registered, which represents a decrease compared to the previous year, as statista.com reported. Nevertheless, the goal of the EU transport ministers, “Vision Zero”, remains an important challenge: no more traffic deaths by 2050.
The number of traffic deaths in Germany has fallen dramatically since 1970 - from 19,193 deaths to 2,770 in 2024. Nevertheless, the downward trend has slowed since the early 2010s. A particularly worrying fact appears to concern the most common causes of accidents: insufficient distance, inadequate speed and driving under the influence of alcohol are the main causes of accidents with personal injuries.
The need for action
As the Traffic safety statistics shows, comprehensive data on the traffic situation is crucial for improving safety. This data serves as the basis for legislative measures affecting traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology. The development of safer infrastructure and increasing awareness of accident risks are of great importance, especially in view of the growing number of e-bike and e-scooter accidents.
Traffic accidents remain a serious challenge in Germany. The statistics and incidents like the one in Sindelfingen show us again and again that good skills and, above all, attention are required in traffic. This is the only way we can continue to pursue the goal of safe mobility.
