Motorcycle controls in Neustadt: 10 drivers in violation!

On Sunday afternoon, May 12, 2025, the two-wheeler control team of the Neustadt police department carried out extensive controls on popular motorcycle routes in the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan region. In particular, the routes over the L499 in the Elmsteiner valley, the B39 in Weidenthal, the B37 in Bad Dürkheim/Grethen and the K16 in Wachenheim Höhe Kurpfalzpark were the focus. A total of 47 motorcycles were checked during these controls to ensure traffic safety and compliance with existing traffic regulations. The results were worrying.

like mrn-news , there were several violations. A total of 10 violations of the ban on passage in the Elmsteiner valley were recorded, 9 further defects and administrative offenses were also found. Two cases were particularly striking in which the motorcycles had an expired operating license that was due to technical changes. In addition, in one case the onward journey was refused after a noise level measurement resulted in 112 decibels - almost twice as loud as allowed.

traffic violations and possible consequences

The controls throw a light on the importance of traffic regulations for motorcyclists. A motorcycle driving ban only applies in Germany where there are corresponding traffic signs. Disregarding such a ban is an administrative offense that can be punished with a fine of at least 50 euros. This also applies to other violations, such as parking in blocked areas or the disregard for safety regulations, as they are recorded in the fines catalogs, as explained on BussgeldCheck .

An example of the fines for motorcycle violations:

• disregard for a traffic ban: € 50
• Parking with disabilities: 70 €
• No protective helmet: 15 €
• low beam not switched on at dusk: 10 €

The idea behind these regulations, as it emphasizes Bussmeld catalog , it is to ensure the safety of all road users and reduce noise pollution. Therefore, Sunday driving bans in particular are often set up to avoid traffic accidents and disorders from noise.

The police have announced that they will carry out such controls regularly in the future in order to improve traffic safety on highly frequented motorcycle routes. With persistent measures, one hopes to reduce the number of violations and create a secure driving environment for all road users.
