Driving just a few km\/h above the legal speed limits is enough to cause serious, even irreversible, injuries.<\/p>\n

In a collision at 50 km\/h, a pedestrian has about a 20% chance of dying, and at 60\u201380 km\/h, a 60% chance.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

High speed means longer stopping distance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vehicle stopping distance increases with speed. The faster a vehicle travels, the longer it takes to stop. Adhering to speed limits greatly reduces the likelihood of serious accidents.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Red lights mark intersections where all types of road users converge, especially vulnerable groups such as pedestrians, cyclists, and users of light motorized vehicles like e-scooters.<\/p>\n

In 2020, nearly 500,000 violations<\/strong><\/em> red-light violations were recorded. Securing these intersections and dedicated cyclist zones is essential to minimize accident risks and safeguard all nearby road users.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
