A survey released in Pilar indicated that 28 traffic-related deaths were recorded in the district's roads, streets, and level crossings in 2025, an increase from the 24 cases in 2024 (a 16% rise). The report also mentions victims associated with train incidents and pedestrian accidents within the scope of the surveyed accidents.
The most alarming data comes from the Pan-American Highway (Pilar branch): 11 deaths were registered there in 2025, compared to four in 2024. For the district, the discussion combines infrastructure, control, and road safety education in a context of intense traffic and high exposure on metropolitan access roads.
This concentration of events has reignited the debate for changes to improve road safety, including a project to set a maximum speed of 110 km/h on the route, with the precedent of this measure being applied on the West Highway by the National Road Safety Agency (ANSV).
On a territorial level, the report identifies locations with a higher recurrence of incidents and marks a stable trend: most of the victims were men (21, 75%). The report also notes a decrease in the average age of the victims.
According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the statistics show that motorcycles were the main protagonists: nine motorcyclist deaths were recorded (32% of the total), with a similar incidence to that of automobiles.
