traffic safety and accident statistics

The high number of traffic accidents in Germany represents a persistent problem. The Statistics , which is provided by the Federal Statistical Office, is intended to gain a comprehensive understanding of the traffic safety situation. This recording not only helps to analyze the causes of the accident, but also form the basis for legislative measures in the field of traffic education and infrastructure.

Especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the police are responsible for safety in traffic in Cologne, among others, past accidents have risen significantly. Statistics ( Cologne police ) show that road traffic accident statistics impressively represent the structures of the accident and dependencies between accident-determining factors. Analyzes on the risk of accidents can help develop targeted measures to improve traffic safety.

The authorities emphasize how important it is to report witness accidents immediately. Witnesses who can give clues in the current incident in Cologne play a crucial role in holding the person who caused the accident and increasing the safety in road traffic.
