Speeders on B294: Police sound the alarm during speed checks!
The Pforzheim traffic police officers carried out a comprehensive speed check on federal highway 294 on Thursday, October 17, 2025, between 7:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. A total of 837 vehicles were recorded. The result of this measure? A total of 39 speeding violations were recorded, with the majority of drivers adhering to the speed limit. Among those complained about were 31 car and 8 truck drivers, some of whom were driving significantly faster than permitted. Four cars exceeded the limit by 21 km/h or more, and one particularly fast driver even had to prepare for a speed of 40 km/h above the normal limit, which could result in him being banned from driving.
The review does not exist in a vacuum. The police plan to continue these traffic safety checks in the future. This is no coincidence, as excessive speed is one of the main causes of accidents, as was made clear during another check last Sunday near Simmersfeld. In the period from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., around 700 vehicles were measured in both directions and more than 50 of them were found to be speeding. A driver was “caught” driving at 146 km/h at a speed limit of 100 km/h, which once again underlines the need for such measures. He also faces a driving ban.
Road safety in focus
The increase in speeding violations is an issue that concerns more than just local police authorities. According to that Federal Motor Transport Authority Such controls are an indispensable part of the road safety strategy. The “Traffic in Numbers” statistics published annually by the Federal Ministry of Transport shed light on developments in road traffic and their impact on society. So it's no wonder that the police focus on compliance with speed limits.
All affected drivers should remember that not only is there a possibility of a driving ban, but serious accidents can also be caused by driving at high speeds. The appeals for road safety are clear: driving too fast not only endangers your own safety, but also that of other road users.
