The high number of traffic accidents indicates urgency to take further measures to improve traffic safety. Authorities point out that about half of all accidents happen in urban areas and that most accidents are related to cyclists, pedestrians and other weaker road users. The statistical surveys for traffic accidents therefore serve not only the provision of information, but also the basis for future measures in transport policy.
