Shock in Rosenheim: Pedestrian hit by car and injured!
There was a traffic accident in Rosenheim today that clearly shows the dangers of road traffic. A 27-year-old pedestrian from Munich wanted to cross Miesbacher Straße at a traffic light and the “green” signal was there. Unfortunately, the 61-year-old driver, who wanted to turn right from Miesbacher Straße onto Happinger Straße, overlooked the crossing end and an impact occurred, throwing the pedestrian to the ground. Fortunately, she only sustained minor injuries and no medical treatment was necessary. There was no significant damage to the driver's car, but an investigation was initiated for negligent bodily harm, as innpuls.me reports.
The increasing number of accidents makes it clear how important it is to pay special attention to the safety of pedestrians. According to current surveys, a total of 2,839 people died in traffic accidents in Germany in 2023 - a worrying increase of 1.8% compared to the previous year. The number of road traffic injuries also rose by 1.5% to 366,557 people. Manfred Wirsch, President of the German Road Safety Council (DVR), is therefore calling for a comprehensive pedestrian traffic strategy and points out necessary changes to the road traffic regulations that should ensure better safety for pedestrians, as noted on dvr.de.
New regulations for pedestrians
The planned amendment to the StVO would make it easier for municipalities to create zebra crossings without having to prove a particular risk. In the future, it should also be possible to offer a speed limit of 30 km/h on main roads near playgrounds and busy routes to school. These are important steps that, as the Destatis statistics show, can contribute to improving road safety. The recording of accidents and the associated data is essential for political decisions in the infrastructure and traffic safety strategy.
These developments present us with the challenge of increasing safety on our roads. Especially in view of the increasing number of pedestrian accidents, it will be urgently necessary to pay further attention to traffic education, road construction projects and increased traffic monitoring. The hope is that with the right measures, the fatal accident statistics will not just remain numbers, but will actually bring about a rethink in transport policy.
