Web and app tip: Crash facts at a glance: Accident atlas online
When do most people get injured in traffic accidents? And are e-scooter riders actually getting into more accidents every year? The online accident atlas provides answers to these and other questions.
In Germany, the most accident-prone hour of the day is between 16:00 and 17:00, according to the "Runter vom Gas" traffic safety campaign's accident atlas. The newly redesigned website and database provide statistics on traffic accidents, injuries, and fatalities across all federal states. Users can access interactive maps and diagrams showing accident data, including the role of alcohol and drugs, types of vehicles involved, and causes of accidents.
The atlas is a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Transport and the German Traffic Safety Council, using data from the Federal Statistical Office.
