Current traffic safety situation

Road accidents are a serious issue and the latest statistics show that the number of road accidents in Germany remains a challenge. A large number of accidents are recorded every year, which can be attributed to various factors, from speeding to driving errors. The current statistics not only serve to analyze accidents, but also as a basis for targeted measures in transport policy and improvements in infrastructure, such as road construction or traffic education. This is exactly where the planned speed controls come into play in order to take proactive action against the causes of accidents.

The authorities recommend that you always stick to the speed limits and thus contribute to a safe traffic situation. Because one thing is clear: regulations not only serve to keep order, they protect lives.
