Blitz marathon: Police checked the pace and ensures security!

On March 20, 2025, the Altenkirchen police inspection carried out comprehensive speed controls in the service area. These measures take place regularly to increase traffic safety and punish pace. Especially in the evening hours of the controlled areas, increased attention was paid to compliance with the permissible top speeds. As the Rhein-Zeitung were reported on the federal road 256, in the area of ​​Isert, which exceeded the top speed. In addition, two drivers violate the ban on overtaking.

in Bruche soaps, on Koblenzer Straße, four other drivers were registered, which had also exceeded the permissible speed. The case of a 61-year-old motorcyclist who was traveling without a necessary driver's license was particularly alarming. Appropriate procedures were initiated against the drivers concerned to punish the violations.

Techniques of speed measurement

The police use different techniques to determine speed violations. The common methods include radar systems, light barriers, laser measuring devices as well as piezo and induction measuring methods. These techniques enable precise measurements of the vehicle speed. The controls can either be carried out inpatient with permanently installed speeds or mobile with portable flash units. The Bussgeld catalog emphasizes that compliance with the permissible maximum speed is a fundamental traffic rule.

In the case of speeding speeds, drivers threaten to directly sanctions that are anchored in the catalog of fines. This includes fines, points in Flensburg or even a driving ban, which can have serious consequences for many road users. Particularly strict regulations apply to beginners: Anyone who exceeds the speed by more than 21 km/h will receive an A violation, which not only extends the trial period, but can also result in participation in an advanced seminar.

It is important to note that tolerances are deducted at speed measurements: 3 km/h at speeds below 100 km/h and 3 % at higher speeds. Private speed monitoring, on the other hand, does not have any evidence in legal procedures.

Enlightenment and safety in road traffic

The regular speed controls are an essential part of traffic safety and serve to clarify drivers. This is also emphasized by the article on Bussgeld-info where it is informed that compliance with the traffic rules is absolutely necessary.
