Six people died on the roads of the Alpes-Maritimes department in November 2025. However, the number of bodily accidents and serious injuries decreased compared to last year. The month shows contrasting developments.
The Alpes-Maritimes department recorded six fatalities on the roads in November 2025. Last year, three people had died on the roads at the same time. This figure has doubled over a year.
At the same time, the other indicators are decreasing. The number of bodily accidents dropped from 71 in November 2024 to 65 this year, a decrease of 8.45%. The number of seriously injured individuals also decreased. The report shows “24” serious injuries, compared to 32 in 2024.
This month again, the vast majority of user categories are affected. Car drivers account for one death, compared to zero last year. Motorized two-wheeler users recorded two deaths, up from one in 2024. Cyclists count one death, the same as last year. Pedestrians are involved with two deaths, compared to one in 2024. No deaths were recorded among users of motorized personal mobility devices.
The profile of the victims tends to change according to age. No deaths were reported among those under 18. The 18-24 age group counts one death, compared to zero last year. The 25-64 age group records two deaths, a stable figure. Those 65 and over count three victims, compared to one in November 2024.
The locations of fatal accidents show a clear change. All six deaths occurred in urban areas. Last year, the department counted two in this same network. No deaths were reported outside the urban area, whereas one was recorded in 2024. No deaths occurred on the highway.
The weekly distribution shows a particularly deadly Saturday. Three people died on that day, compared to one last year. Monday, Thursday, and Friday each count one death. No deaths were recorded on the other days of the week.
The time slots also show marked changes. Four deaths occurred between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m., compared to one in November 2024. One death was recorded between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m., and another occurred between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
An annual review still trending downwards
Despite the figures for November, the trend observed since January remains favorable. The department recorded “44 deaths from January 1 to November 30, 2025, compared to 53 over the same period in 2024.” Mortality thus declines quite clearly over a full year.
Users of motorized two-wheelers remain the most affected since the beginning of the year, with 14 deaths. Pedestrians are the next most affected, with 12 victims. Nine deaths have been recorded among car drivers.
License suspensions have also decreased. “300 license suspension orders have been issued compared to 367 in the same period in 2024.” The scale applied since February 2025 is described as “firmer” and “does not tolerate any leniency for probationary licenses.”
Several awareness-raising actions will be organized in December. The operations will focus on risk prevention with the approach of the holidays, with distribution of breathalyzers and interventions with young people and drivers.
November remains marked by a contrast: increased mortality and decreased accidents. The figures emphasize the importance of vigilance across the entire road network, both in urban areas and on major routes.
