Traffic accidents are a relevant topic in Saxony, especially since the numbers have increased again in 2023. A total of 99,519 traffic accidents were registered, an increase of 2.6% compared to the previous year. The number of casualties was 16,389, an increase of 0.1%. Of the accidents, 3,599 resulted in serious injuries or deaths, and thorough investigation, which the police consider necessary in order to take preventive action against such numbers in the future, is essential Media service Saxony notes.
Increasing traffic safety
According to the police, the main causes of accidents resulting in personal injury are improper speed (13%) and failure to yield right of way (10.3%). Other factors such as insufficient safety distance and the influence of alcohol were also crucial. In particular, the increasing number of pedestrian accidents by 10.6% to 1,364 calls for increased action. The police make it clear that road safety work is particularly important, also in view of the upcoming legalization of cannabis, in order to take preventive action in advance.
The road safety campaigns such as “School has started” and “Blitz for Kids” will be continued to protect children and seniors in particular. The focus is not only on the drivers, but also on the vulnerable road users. What is particularly frightening is the increase in the number of accidents under the influence of drugs and alcohol, which the police cite to underline the urgency of their prevention measures.
Overall, it can be seen that traffic in Saxony requires increased attention. The current accident in Dresden-Gruna and the increasing accident statistics show that both drivers and pedestrians often find themselves in dangerous situations. The police appeal to all road users to be more careful and follow traffic rules.
