Monthly traffic deaths
The death toll in traffic accidents, which had surpassed 16,000 around 1970, has fallen below 10,000 since 1996 and has fallen below 4,000 in recent years. Although it increased by 4 from the previous year in 2015, it has been steadily declining since then, and was less than 3,000 in 2020.
The president of the National Public Security Commission has announced the following comments.
President of the National Public Safety Commission コ メ ン ト
The death toll from traffic accidents last year was 2,839, a decrease of 376, or 11.7% from the previous year, and fell below 3,000 for the first time after the fourth consecutive year of record lows.
We believe that this is the result of the government, related organizations and organizations, and each and every citizen of Japan actively working to prevent traffic accidents.
However, many precious lives are still lost in traffic accidents, and the 24-hour death toll at 2,500 or less by the second year of the Ordinance, which was established in the 10th Basic Road Safety Plan, remains low. Unfortunately, I couldn’t achieve my goal.
Achieving a safe and comfortable traffic society without traffic accidents is the desire of all people and an important issue for the government.
This year is the year in which the XI Basic Road Safety Plan begins. Based on the new plan, the National Public Safety Commission will cooperate with various levels in various fields to improve road safety facilities, promote effective traffic regulation, road safety education, and control guidance on malicious and dangerous traffic offenses. . We would like to instruct the police to comprehensively and energetically promote various measures.
To prevent traffic accidents, we ask that car and bicycle drivers and pedestrians consider the other person’s position and act with compassion.
