The accidents by buses also rose by almost 30 percent from 240 to 311.

traffic safety and causes of accidents

According to the group leader Holger Zastrow from Team Zastrow, the Dresden traffic routes are under massive pressure, especially after the bridge collapse in September 2024. The inadequate road conditions not only lead to an increase in accidents, but also an increase in costs for repairs and insurance premiums. A spokesman for DVB, Falk Lösch, notes that construction sites and changed traffic flows contribute to the general increase in the accident.

Especially in the case of bus accidents, it can be seen that in three out of four cases, the side of the accident is mostly, mostly when turning or dodging. Zastrow urgently demands a rethink in transport policy to create powerful roads and enable a separation of rail and car traffic.

future challenges for Dresden

The city faces the challenge of achieving improvements in the transport system through current and planned major projects such as the Nossener Bridge, Königsbrücker Straße and the Blue Miracle. These necessary measures could help improve the security situation in road traffic and to reduce the increasing number of accidents.

The incidents in Dresden not only illustrate the urgency of measures to improve security in the public transport network, but also the need for a holistic approach to reduce both crime and traffic accidents. The city administration is required to develop preventive strategies to secure the quality of life in Dresden.
