National Police Agency_Number of traffic accidents by day of the week
According to the latest statistics provided by the Traffic Safety Division of the Life Safety and Traffic Bureau of the National Police Agency, the total number of traffic accidents nationwide in 2024 was tallied at 206,981. This is a slight decrease from 208,305 in 2023, continuing the downward trend in the overall number of accidents that has continued since 2020. In an analysis by day of the week, Fridays accounted for the largest proportion of accidents at 32,120 in 2024, showing a tendency for the risk of accidents to increase along with the increase in weekday traffic volume. Compared to 2023, the number of accidents on Sundays (20,526 in 2024) and Saturdays (27,662 in 2024) decreased slightly, while accidents on Mondays (28,837 in 2024) and Thursdays (28,963 in 2024) increased slightly. This suggests that changes in traffic conditions on certain days of the week or subtle changes in driver behavior patterns may have influenced the occurrence of accidents. Overall, traffic accident statistics for 2024 show a downward trend, but still show day-of-the-week characteristics.
