In the context of these incidents, the social reaction is often shaped by criticism and calls for action. Transport organizations and security associations encourage the awareness of the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol. Initiatives such as "Driving safely - no alcohol" or local campaigns to reduce alcohol consumption in the population contribute to the positive development.

Furthermore, many cities in Germany have improved the infrastructure for cyclists in recent years in order to create safer driving conditions. The creation of bicycle paths, increasing the lighting in critical areas and the promotion of public transport are some of the measures that can have a positive impact on traffic safety.
