Every fourth traffic accident in Neustadt is a game accident!

The traffic situation in Neustädter Land changed significantly last year. According to the information from haz.de Traffic accidents registered. This is an increase compared to the ten -year average of 1033 accidents per year. Despite this increase, there was a remarkable decline in the seriously injured people by 39 percent. However, two drivers and one passenger lost their lives during this period.

of the total of 1161 traffic accidents are 357 game accidents, which means that every fourth accident on the Neustadt streets had to do with wild animals.

Only 14 cases with minor injuries were reported to children. The seniors who count from the age of 65, on the other hand, are still at risk: there were four seriously and 27 slightly injured people.

accidental escape and increased controls

Another worrying trend is the increase in accidents. With 296 registered cases, the police recorded a continuous increase since 2020. From these attempts to escape, 136 causes, despite the experiment to move away, were identified.

In order to increase traffic safety, the police are planning increased controls, especially with regard to the behavior of cyclists and compliance with the traffic rules. These measures should help reduce the number of accidents and to minimize the risk on the streets.

Overall, the traffic accident statistics show both positive and negative trends in the Neustädter Land. The challenge remains to continuously improve the security level and to protect particularly endangered road users.
