Sunlight causes accident: pedestrians injured in Mainburg!
in Mainburg, a place in the Kelheim district, a 22-year-old driver overlooked two walkers on Friday. The incident occurred around 3 p.m. on Salvatorbergstrasse, where the driver was distracted by sunlight. There is no sidewalk in the affected road, so the pedestrians were unprotected.
In the accident, a 52-year-old man from Mainburg was slightly injured and had to be taken to a hospital for treatment. The collision also led to property damage of around 25 euros, especially on the right -wing exterior mirror of the vehicle.
increasing number of accidents and security measures
Manfred Wirsch, President of the DVR, demands increased attention to the safety of foot traffic, since the number of pedestrians killed and injured has increased in the past three years. The Federal Government is currently working on a foot traffic strategy that includes, among other things, the possibility of municipalities to arrange zebra crossings without proof of a special hazard. In addition, the new road traffic regulations (STVO) should simplify regulations to assign areas for foot and bike traffic.
For main roads near playgrounds and heavily frequented school routes, a speed limit of 30 km/h could be arranged in the future. The DVR has also formulated several demands to improve traffic safety, which also include increased traffic monitoring and measures to combat distractions in road traffic.
