Pingtung County road accident statistics and hotspots
From 2024/01 to 2026/08, Pingtung County recorded 40,541 casualty road accidents, 320 deaths and 55,248 injured. The data comes from the National Police Agency and is processed exactly as it is for the heatmap.
Pingtung County averaged 1266.9 accidents a month over this period. Within a day the peak hour is 17, at 8.7% of the total; the night hours from 22:00 to 05:00 account for 6.0%; weekends account for 26.5%. Excluding the month still being filled in, the last 12 complete months had 14,887 accidents against 15,996 in the 12 months before, down 6.9%.
Motorcycles account for 57.1% of parties involved. Deaths per thousand accidents is 7.89, above the national average of 4.24. That ratio swings sharply when deaths are few, which is especially true in sparsely populated townships, so do not draw conclusions from it alone.

How to read these numbers
More accidents does not mean more dangerous. Places with more traffic, longer roads and denser population naturally record more. This data has no traffic volume to divide by, so a rate per ten thousand vehicle passes cannot be computed; it can only tell you where accidents actually happened.
The road ranking counts road names appearing in the address. In Taiwan 26% of accident addresses are written as a reference point along a road rather than an exact position, so this ranking is reliable at the level of a road but not at the level of a junction.
Only A1 and A2 accidents, which involve casualties, are included. Property-damage-only collisions are not, so the real number of collisions is higher.
