Flash and speed trap: Police checked on October 4th in Baiersbronn

On October 4, 2025, mobile tempo controls are on the program in Baiersbronn, Baden-Württemberg. The police will be on the road in Murgtalstrasse in Klosterreichenbach (ZIP 72270, Heselbach) and make sure that the road users adhere to the speed limit of 70 km/h. It was found that in the past many travelers have regularly exceeded this speed limit, which underlines the need for such controls. Today, however, the exact location of the lightning works remains unconfirmed, according to the police's opinion in the afternoon.

The Freudenstadt transport service in particular also helped to hold a large number of traffic consecrators accountable in a last assignment on September 4, 2024 on the Bundesstraße 500. Over 90 vehicle drivers were caught at speed controls, which significantly exceeded the permissible speed, including a motorcyclist who was traveling at over 140 km/h. The result was not only a few unpleasant acquaintances with the police, but also with driving bans and fines. Two car drivers and four motorcyclists have already been held responsible for their misconduct.

Accident causes in road traffic

The police emphasize that driving too fast is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. A comprehensive analysis of the accident is supported by the Destatis, which provides reliable statistics on the traffic safety situation. Such data are essential to develop and optimize measures in legislation, traffic education, road construction and vehicle technology.

Road traffic accident statistics provide valuable information about accidents, the participants and their vehicles, as well as the causes of the accident. This data is not only useful for the policies of authorities, but also serve as the basis for state transport policy, especially with regard to infrastructure and traffic safety. In view of the increasing traffic density, regular participation in speed controls such as today's in Baiersbronn is essential to ensure the safety of all road users.

The controls currently being carried out encourage drivers to adhere to the applicable traffic regulations. This is the only way we can work together to ensure more safety on our roads.
