statistics on traffic safety

In order to better understand the causes and effects of such traffic accidents, there are extensive statistics on traffic safety, as provided by the Destatis .

Road traffic accident statistics contain important information about accidents, the parties, vehicle inmates and the causes of the accident. These are used to enable cross -transport cycling risk comparisons and support state transport policy, especially in relation to infrastructure and traffic safety. The aim is to gain a reliable, comprehensive picture of the traffic safety situation and thus serve the prevention of accidents.
