New Corona Self-restraint reduces traffic volume but increases fatal accidents Aichi April 28 13:24
While traffic volume has decreased due to the refraining from going out due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the number of people who died in a traffic accident this month in Aichi Prefecture has already exceeded the same month last year. In particular, as the number of fatalities due to single accidents is increasing, the police are accelerating the crackdown on the assumption that there are cases where the speed is too high.
According to police, in Aichi Prefecture, 55 people died in a traffic accident by the end of this month by the 27th of this month, which is the highest number in Japan.
By month, the number of deaths up to the 27th of this month was 17 and the number was the highest, already exceeding the one month of April last year, and there were many deaths due to a single accident. It also means that people who are killed by death will stand out.
Since the number of accidents resulting in injury or death has fallen by more than 900 since last April, the number of accidents overall has decreased, while serious accidents have become prominent.
Police have tightened crackdowns because there are cases where the number of cars and pedestrians has decreased due to the refraining from going out due to the new coronavirus, which may lead to excessive speed and distracting attention to others.
