Road safety measures and future prospects
In order to further improve traffic safety, Interior Minister Christian Pegel presented a new traffic safety concept until 2030. The goal is to reduce traffic deaths by 40% compared to 2020. This is to be achieved through preventive measures, especially for children, and through technical advances in the automotive industry. The results of recent years show that a particular focus must be placed on the safe use of e-bikes and pedelecs, while annual investments in safety barriers and other safety precautions are also planned. This information comes from the State government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Recent unfortunate events such as the current accident remind us once again that safety on the roads is of the utmost importance. Prevention and awareness measures must be initiated and strengthened at all levels to avoid tragic losses like that of a 22-year-old in the future.
