November 2025 Traffic Report Card: What Do The Numbers Tell Us?

Traffic statistics, which take a snapshot of our safety on the roads every month, consist of not just cold numbers; every figure represents a human, a family, and a life. We have reviewed the November 2025 Traffic Statistics Bulletin published by the Traffic Department of the General Directorate of Security for you.

1. General Overview: Accidents Are Not Decreasing A total of 55,995 traffic accidents occurred nationwide throughout November. Unfortunately, 23,670 of these accidents resulted in death or injury.

  • The Grim Toll: We lost 199 citizens at the accident scene in November alone, and 32,890 people were injured.

  • Urban Danger: A very large portion (86%) of injury-causing accidents occur within residential areas, that is, in city centers.

2. The #1 Cause of Accidents: SPEED When we look at the causes of accidents, "Driver Faults" are far in the lead (over 90%). So, where do drivers make the most mistakes? When we analyze the 25,639 driver faults in November, the following picture emerges:

  • Speed Violation (35.5%): "Failure to adjust vehicle speed to road, weather, and traffic conditions" is the biggest cause of accidents. 1 in every 3 accidents happens due to excessive or improper speed.

  • Right of Way (17.4%): Failure to yield the right of way at intersections is the second biggest cause.

  • Following Distance (9.1%): Rear-end collisions are still very common.

3. Attention to the Rise in Motorcycles! There is a surprising statistic regarding the types of vehicles involved in accidents. The distribution of the 40,307 vehicles involved in fatal/injury accidents in November is as follows:

  • Automobile: 45.1% (18,211 Units)

  • Motorcycle: 23.4% (9,432 Units)

  • Motorized Bicycle (Moped): 8% (3,237 Units)

Striking Data: When we add up motorcycles and motorized bicycles, two-wheeled vehicles constitute 31.4% of the vehicles involved in accidents. This proves once again how vital motorcycle awareness is in traffic.

4. Which Cities Stand Out? Metropolitan cities lead the way in the number of fatal and injury-causing accidents.

  • Istanbul: 3,702 Accidents

  • Ankara: 1,375 Accidents

  • Izmir: 1,261 Accidents

  • Antalya: 1,083 Accidents
