The accident statistics at a glance

There were 198 deaths and more than 17,000 injuries - an indication that traffic monitoring and preventive measures are urgently needed to improve safety on our roads.
Improve traffic safety
According to the information from Destatis Human factors such as inattention and recklessness remain the main causes of many accidents. These findings should actually serve as an impetus to increase our focus on road safety, especially considering that cyclists are the second most common cause of road traffic accidents after drivers.
The long-term goal, also known as “Vision Zero,” aims to have zero traffic fatalities by 2050. However, this can only be achieved through a combination of better infrastructure, increased awareness among road users and possibly the introduction of autonomous vehicles. The numbers clearly show that there is still a lot of work ahead of us.
In light of recent accidents, it is extremely important that we all do something to make the roads a little safer. Because road safety affects us all – whether pedestrians, cyclists or drivers. Only together can we achieve this goal!
