Traffic accident statistics for the year 2025 in Bavaria reveal a slight rise in the overall number of accidents and fatalities, alongside a notable decline in serious injuries. While the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district saw a minor decrease in total accidents from 3,318 to 3,300, this was overshadowed by a significant spike in traffic deaths. In the past year, twelve people lost their lives in traffic incidents in this district, a threefold increase compared to the four fatalities recorded in 2024. This rise in fatalities represents one of the highest counts seen in many years, raising concerns about road safety in the region.

In Starnberg, the total number of registered traffic accidents decreased by 2.6 percent to 4,065, yet the fatalities increased from four to five. This discrepancy highlights the varying trends observed at the district level, as different areas experience unique challenges related to roadway safety. The long-term comparison over the past decade provides further insights into these trends, reflecting both improvements in certain aspects of traffic safety as well as worrying increases in fatalities that need to be addressed by local authorities.

These statistics emphasize the urgent need for effective road safety measures and initiatives to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on the roads. As the overall numbers may suggest some progress in keeping serious injuries down, the alarming rise in deaths raises questions about the measures currently in place and their effectiveness in preventing road traffic fatalities in specific regions.
