High road deaths in 2024

Last year was a bad year for deaths on the road. 250 people died, the worst level since 2015.

Pedestrians and e-bike users were the most affected. 

But the number of serious injuries were down. 

Out of the 250 that died, 81 were in cars, 47 motorcyclists, 16 on e-bikes – although only 4 cyclists – and 48 pedestrians. 

The Federal Roads Office admits the figures are high.
