Data from the Traffic Safety Observatory in the Kairouan Governorate for the period from January to September 2026 indicate an increase in road accidents, with 143 incidents resulting in 80 fatalities and 171 injuries. This is an increase compared to the same period in 2025, which saw 119 accidents, 55 deaths, and 170 injuries. Speed is one of the main contributing factors to these accidents, accounting for 32.17% of incidents and 31 fatalities. Motorcycles are responsible for nearly half of the accidents (49.65%) and have caused 32 deaths. Most accidents occur between 4 PM and midnight, representing 46% of the total, with a notable distribution on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, which together account for more than 50% of cases. The data emphasizes the need to strengthen awareness and education regarding the importance of obeying traffic rules, especially enforcing speed limits and the use of helmets for motorcyclists, to reduce risks and improve road safety.
