Lightning marathon: number of traffic accidents and fatalities should be reduced
The program continues to aim to reduce the overall number of road accidents. In addition, the number of road deaths and serious injuries on Bavaria's streets is to be reduced. In 2020, excessive or inappropriate speed was the main cause of accidents for 33 percent of fatal road accidents in Central Franconia. Last year 51 people died on the streets of Central Franconia. 17 deaths were attributable to the cause of the accident “speed”. Thus, excessive speed claims most human lives in road traffic.
