As part of the speed camera marathon, the police will again carry out two action weeks for speed controls in 2025. The planned appointments for these weeks are:

  • 1. Action week: 7. April 13, 2025, with a focus on Wednesday, April 9th.
  • 2. Action Week: 4th to August 10, 2025, with even controls throughout the week.

The police strategy aims to reduce speed overruns and thus prevent accidents. Control locations are preferably established on accident -prone routes, such as motorways and urban areas at danger points such as school routes and construction sites. Bussgeld portal emphasizes that not all federal states will take part in these action weeks. During the spring campaign, a large part of the federal states is traditionally expected, some could do without effectiveness for reasons of capacity or due to concerns.
