The decline is strong and encouraging.
In February, 212 people were killed on the roads of mainland France.
This is 17% less than in February 2019, before the health crisis, Road Safety announced on Tuesday.
Compared to February 2021, when a 6 p.m. curfew was introduced, the figure has however increased by 20% (36 more killed).
Displacements in February 2022 were higher than in February 2021 – given that “no measures restricting the mobility of French people” were in place.
High road mortality in Overseas France
The difference is 10% on average, according to Road Safety, which quotes Cerema (Centre for studies and expertise on risks, the environment, mobility and development).
Pedestrian mortality is also slightly higher than that recorded last year at the same period: 29 pedestrians were killed in February 2022, i.e. 5 more than in February 2021.
The number of bodily accidents (3,694) increased by 18% in February compared to 2021, like that of injuries (4,550).
On the other hand, in the overseas territories, the number of people who died on the roads jumped, with 26 deaths compared to 9 in 2021 and 13 in 2019.
