The chance of becoming involved in a traffic accident varies greatly per Drenthe municipality. For example, Midden-Drenthe and Hoogeveen have had relatively the most accidents in the past five years, while Tynaarlo is the safest. This is apparent from an analysis by Wegenvignetten.nl from Rijkswaterstaat-Data.
Between 2020 and 2024 on average twelve accidents per thousand cars took place in Midden-Drenthe and Hoogeveen. That is twice as much as the six accidents in Tynaarlo, while Noordenveld also notes only seven a year.
Busy through roads
“Hoogeveen and Midden-Drenthe are exactly at the intersection of the A28, A37 and N34. That attracts a lot of traffic from outside, which also mixes with the traffic in the villages and the city itself. Then it simply goes wrong more often. In Tynaarlo and Noordenveld the situation is different: the a28 is possible in the lower number of 000s of the villages of the villages. says Mattijs Wijnmalen from Wegenvignetten.nl.
Although most accidents happen in Midden-Drenthe and Hoogeveen, it is mostly only about eye damage in Hoogeveen. In Noordenveld and Assen and Emmen, an accident ends relatively often with injury, while a fatal outcome is most often regretted in Aa and Hunze. The chance of this is the lowest in Hoogeveen and Assen.
