Saarländer police increases speed controls for more security!

The Saarland police today reinforced its speed monitoring on April 20, 2025. The aim is to increase traffic safety in particular in the focus of accidents. This targeted surveillance is part of a more comprehensive strategy to reduce the number of traffic accidents and the associated injuries and deaths. During the controls, the focus is on roads, which have been classified as particularly accidents in the past, reports the wndn.de .

With this measure, the Saarland police follow a nationwide trend that can be observed not only in Germany, but also in many other countries. The findings and strategies that are taken in this country to improve traffic safety are originally found in comprehensive federal research programs and initiatives. With its traffic safety program from 2021 to 2030, the Federal Government pursues the ambitious goal of no longer having dead or seriously injured in road traffic under the "Vision Zero". This forms the basis for targeted grants and financing in the area of ​​traffic safety, including research, which provides solutions to achieve these program goals, according to the MobilityForum .

vision zero and research on traffic safety

"Vision Zero" stands for a social obligation to make road traffic safer. The Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) provides significant means to promote innovative projects for digitizing transport systems, which are ultimately to increase the safety of all road users. The funded initiatives include, for example, measures to support two-wheelers such as cyclists, e-scooter users and motorcyclists.

Research institutions such as the Federal Agency for Road Systems (BAST) are involved in the measures, which looks after around 260 own projects annually and publishes findings in order to continuously improve traffic safety. This also includes the provision of free brochures and guidelines on safety -related topics and the development of a database for measures to increase traffic safety.

prevention measures in road traffic

In addition to the research projects and technical regulations, the German Road Safety Council (DVR) develops measures for accident prevention based on scientific knowledge. The focus is on software and hardware solutions as well as training and information campaigns that aim to make road traffic more secure.

The interactive accident atlas, another important resource, shows annually updated data on regional accidents with personal injury. Such tools are essential to draw local road users specifically to dangerous routes and take preventive measures.

From these strategic approaches there is a clear direction: The safety in road traffic is to be significantly increased by coordinated measures and scientifically well -founded strategies without restricting mobility. Today's measures by the Saarland police are an example of how local authorities can actively contribute to the implementation of these goals.
