Traffic accident statistics and their meaning
The statistics on traffic accidents plays an important role in the analysis of the traffic safety situation in Germany. It provides reliable, comprehensive and nationwide comparable data about accidents, people involved, vehicles and their circumstances. Such data is essential for measures in legislation, traffic education, as well as in the planning of road construction and traffic technology.
The results of these statistics also help to identify structural risks in road transport and can contribute to improving transport policy, particularly with regard to infrastructure and road safety. In light of recent events, it is once again clear how important accurate data is in order to take appropriate steps to reduce accidents and their consequences.
