Meanwhile, the number of those injured decreased by 2.5 percent, and the number of road accidents fell by 1.8 percent from a year earlier, the National Police Headquarters said, as cited by state news agency PAP.
At the start of 2022, stricter traffic rules took effect in the country with tougher fines for drivers as part of efforts to improve road safety.
Under rules that took effect in the country in May 2021, drivers must give priority to pedestrians who are about to step onto a crosswalk, as well as those who are already on it.
