Märkischer Kreis (ots)
The police in the Märkisches Kreis recently published the results of their speed monitoring, which show both raised and showing numbers. In the two implementation days on September 6 and 8, 2024, several measuring points were set up to control the speed violations on the streets of the district. These measures are intended to increase traffic safety and ensure compliance with the speed limits.
Overall, hundreds of vehicles were checked at the various measuring points, which impressively underlines the need for such controls. These surveillance are particularly important to protect both pedestrians and other road users and avoid dangerous situations.
measuring points and results
One of the most prominent measuring points was in Menden on Windthorster Straße. From 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., 235 vehicles were recorded there. 35 drivers were confronted with a warning money area. The highest measured value was 46 km/h in a 30s zone. In another test on Wilhelmstraße in Menden between 9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., 450 vehicles were recorded, in this case two administrative offenses were created.
A particularly worrying result was noticed in Kierspe Hölterhaus, where a total of 1,815 vehicles were measured from 1:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Here the fastest driver loses a whopping 141 km/h in a 70s zone. A total of 113 warnings were pronounced and there were 41 administrative offenses and three driving bans. Such values illustrate the urgency of the controls and the risk of being rapidly driving on the streets.
The measurement in Halver provided similarly alarming results. At 1,832. Nine administrative offenses recorded were recorded. The maximum value here was in an 80 km/h zone at 114 km/h, which indicates a considerable mismatch between permitted and actual speed. Such numbers are not only statistically significant, they also show the potential dangers in road traffic.
summary of the measurements
The speed controls ultimately led to a serious discussion about driving behavior and security on the streets. The police have made it clear that such rigid controls are necessary to ensure the safety of all road users and promote safe driving. The data collected could be used to develop targeted measures to improve traffic safety. In the current situation, every case of speeding is an example of how important monitoring and compliance with traffic regulations is.
The conditions on the streets are still a hotly discussed topic and the police see the responsibility of regularly clarifying citizens about the dangers of speed violations. The upcoming warning money payments and possible driving bans should serve as a warning example to promote a responsible driving style. The police's measures initiated may not be considered punitive, but as preventive steps to promote safe streets in the Märkisches district. The future of traffic safety depends on the mindfulness and a sense of responsibility of each individual.
