speed monitoring in Berlin
The phenomenon of razors is not only an issue in Wiener Neustadt. In Berlin, too, driving behavior on the streets ensures ongoing discussions. The Berlin police have therefore implemented new measurement technology for speed monitoring. "Speed measurement boxes" were installed on lantern or sign masts.
The new measurements have produced alarming results: the "exceeding rate" is 26 %, while it was only 5 % in old methods. Particularly high speed overruns were found on the following streets:
- Hobrechtsfelder Chaussee: 119 km/h, 45,633 drivers too fast.
- Zepernicker Straße: 58 km/h.
- Wisbyer Straße: 37 km/h.
- Gustav-Adolf-Straße: 115 km/h.
- Dannenwalder Weg: 167 km/h.
- Waldemarstrasse: 11b.
- Schwedenstrasse: 9.
- Alt-Mahlsdorf: 60 km/h.
- Richardstrasse: 102 km/h.
- Marie-Elisabeth-von-Humboldt-Straße: 63 km/h.
The high number of violations could be due, among other things, to the fact that information about driving speed controls in apps or on the radio lacks information. The measuring boxes are also small and difficult to recognize. If the speed borders are exceeded, there could be fines of up to 48 million euros if it is transferred just 10 km/h.
strategies for traffic safety
The pursuit of safer roads is a central concern in both Austria and Germany. A relevant initiative is the "Vision Zero", which aims not to allow dead or seriously injured in road traffic. Together with the federal government, countries and municipalities, the reduction of traffic fatalities in Germany is being worked on by 40% by 2030.
An essential element in this context are different processes and tools to increase traffic safety. These include:
- local accident commission: This commission aims to improve security at accident accumulation centers and to decide on measures.
- Verkehrschau: This takes place every two years to regularly check the road equipment.
- Security Audit: This was introduced in 2002 to give recommendations for the safety of roads.
- network analyzes: These serve to identify road sections with above -average accidents.
- School path plans: You have the purpose of presenting safe way to school for children and sensitizing their dangers.
- public relations: supports municipal traffic safety projects through campaigns for accident prevention.
- traffic safety concepts: These provide a framework for structured traffic safety work in communities and counties.
Through these concepts and active civic engagement, both traffic safety and the quality of life in the affected areas should be improved sustainably.
