insight into traffic safety

Such incidents also skill lightly on the general traffic safety situation in Germany. According to Destatis, comprehensive and reliable data on traffic safety are collected. These statistics are of fundamental importance for legislation and improving traffic education as well as street infrastructure. They help to better understand factors causing the accident and to develop measures to check traffic safety.

In any case, there is hope that preventive measures and increased awareness of road users will lead to a noticeable improvement in the situation on our streets.
