Protection measures and statistics
Accident statistics are an important issue when it comes to the safety of our roads. The Traffic safety statistics provides valuable data on the accident situation and helps to better understand the causes and circumstances of traffic accidents. This information is the basis for measures in legislation, traffic education and road construction. Ultimately, they should help to increase road safety.
Frank Schneider, a traffic expert, explains: "The results of the accident statistics not only provide information about the number of accidents, but also about the people and vehicles involved. Such more detailed data is crucial for developing targeted traffic protection measures." This means that states and municipalities are required to invest in infrastructure and road safety in order to avoid such accidents.
