Security on German motorways

In view of the upcoming controls, the question of general traffic safety also arises on German highways. A comprehensive discussion about the introduction of a general speed limit is no coincidence, as Zuund-mobilitaet.net reports. Germany has the potential to further improve its security standards compared to other EU countries.

It is particularly noticeable that the number of registered traffic accidents on federal highways has increased by 18.3 % between 1991 and 2019. At the same time, however, the number of fatal traffic accidents continuously drops, which indicates an effective traffic safety strategy. Between 1991 and 2019, a decline in road deads were registered by impressive 77.1 %.

The debate about speed limits is difficult through different data and reference variables, as the analysis of Consumer protection forum . It remains to be seen which results will provide the upcoming speed controls in the Offenbach and Main-Kinzig-Kreis district and whether they can have a positive impact on traffic safety.
