22 crosses in Carinthia
White crosses commemorate the deadly danger
Every year around All Saints' Day, the ARBÖ white crosses commemorate those who have lost their lives in road traffic accidents. This year alone, 22 people were killed on Carinthia's roads by October.
The white crosses are therefore also intended as a reminder to pay more attention in traffic. After all, distraction and cell phone use are still the main causes of accidents. "The rule here is: put your cell phone away and pay attention to your surroundings," appeals ARBÖ.
But it's not just drivers who are exposed to great danger on the roads. "There were also more serious injuries and fatalities among pedestrians this year than in previous years." This is why pedestrians in particular should wear bright and reflective clothing in the dark season.
