safety in road traffic

In the context of traffic safety, it is relevant that in 2023 2,839 people died in road traffic accidents, which represents an increase of 1.8 percent or 51 people compared to the previous year. These figures come from the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport, the goal of which is the "Vision Zero", that is not to allow deaths in road traffic. To achieve this, numerous measures are discussed and implemented to protect life in road traffic.

The current efforts include innovations in the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), which appeal to security, as well as the climate -friendly and fair aspects of traffic. One example is the intensive promotion of the turning assistant for trucks, which is intended to increase safety in road traffic. New vehicle security systems are also being worked on at European level to avoid accidents and to improve general traffic safety.

Such security measures can also reduce the effects of uncontrolled vehicle meetings, such as that in Dornbirn. It remains to be seen which further steps the authorities will take to regulate similar situations in the future.
