Speed measurement in Neumünster: 16 violations in one day

traffic safety in focus

Neumünster - On 08.08.2024, the police from Neumünster implemented an important step to improve traffic safety. As part of the roadpol week carried out across Europe, the officers from the North and West police stations carried out a comprehensive speed control on Ehndorfer Strasse. This commitment aimed to monitor compliance with the speed limits in an area that lies in the immediate vicinity of a school and a daycare center.

results of the speed measurement

In the course of the 45-minute control, 16 vehicles were stopped, which had exceeded the permissible maximum speed of 30 km/h . Two of the drivers exceeded this limit considerably and were measured at speeds of 48 km/h . These road users now expect a fine of 70 EUR .

meaning for the community

The controls of this kind are of great importance for the safety of residents, especially the children who are regularly in this traffic area. In particular, the exceeding of the speed in residential areas with schools and kindergartens is a considerable risk.

reactions of road users

The reactions of the controlled drivers were mostly insightful. In some cases, the officials were also able to point out smaller defects in the vehicles, which could possibly be easily remedied. This shows the commitment of the police not only to impose punishments, but also to influence general traffic safety.

conclusion and outlook

The speed controls, as carried out as part of the Roadpol Week, are an important part of the police measures to ensure traffic safety. They illustrate the need that both authorities and citizens actively work for a safe traffic environment. Future controls can be expected to increase the positive effects on safety in road traffic and continue to promote awareness of compliance with speed limits.
