Traffic safety situation in Cologne
The unpleasant incidents on the streets of Cologne are not an isolated case. The traffic accident statistics Federal Statistical Office shows that road safety is currently an important issue. Statistics about accidents, those involved and the types of vehicles are crucial for politics in order to be able to take preventative measures.

For example, just recently, on April 29, 2025, there was another serious accident in Deutz. At that time, a car, an Opel, collided with a tram on line 7. The 20-year-old driver sustained serious injuries and had to be taken to hospital, while a 54-year-old passenger in the back seat was only slightly injured. The tram driver was shocked, while the passengers on the tram were fortunately uninjured. Such incidents highlight the risks inherent in road transport and the need for measures to improve road safety and education. As the April 29th press release describes, Investigations were also started here by the traffic commissioner.
