Worrying accident statistics
Manfred Wirsch, President of the DVR, therefore demands increased attention to the safety of pedestrians. In the past three years there has been a worrying increase in injuries and dead among pedestrians. In order to counteract this, a Federal Government's foot traffic strategy is necessary, supplemented by the StVO amendment, which makes it easier to create municipalities and to enforce speed restrictions on highly frequented school routes.
The dramatic events in Floridsdorf illustrate the need to improve traffic safety and protect pedestrians in particular. It is to be hoped that such accidents can be avoided in the future through targeted measures.
