traffic accident statistics in view

In Germany, the traffic situation is anything but stable. According to Destatis , the road traffic accident statistics include extensive data on accidents and vehicles that serve as the basis for future security measures. Such statistics bring light into the dark of the traffic patterns and help to better understand risks.

In 2024, the Federal Republic recorded around 2.5 million road traffic accidents, as reported Statista . Despite a slight decline compared to the previous year, the number of accidents that lead to personal injury remains at a stable level, similar to that from 1955. The most common causes of accidents are inadequate distance, non -adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol. The decline in the racing dead also deserves special attention, which has progressed more slowly since the early 2010s.

Our reality of life is shaped by the growing number of road users, which also leads to an increase in accidents. The "Vision Zero", a goal of the European Transport Minister, is aiming not to have any traffic fattening by 2050 - an ambitious goal that is not only about technology, but also about the awareness of the drivers and the improvement of the infrastructure.

With such statistics and incidents as in Barleben and Bülstringen, it becomes clear that there are still numerous challenges in road traffic. Every road user is required to make his contribution to increase security on the streets.
