According to the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority (ANSR), between January 1 and March 7, 2018, eight deaths were recorded on the Algarve’s roads, one more than in the same period last year, by a large part of EN125, and six more than in 2016.
The number of seriously injured also increased in the first months of this year, compared to the same period of 2017, from 20 to 31 (plus eleven).
In relation to the number of accidents – which last year reached a record number in the Algarve region, with a total of 10,752 claims (511 more than in 2016 and 1,262 more than in 2015) – the ANSR statistics indicate that they have been registered since the beginning of the year 1,489 road accidents, 28 more than in the same period of 2017.
In other words, the number of deaths, serious injuries and accidents continues to increase on the Algarve’s roads, even after part of the main road that crosses the region has been heavily invested in improving the conditions aimed at safety.
