Osterholzer speed camera campaign: start speed controls in October!
On October 1, 2025, the Osterholz district starts with mobile speed controls to increase traffic safety. The initiative aims to avoid traffic accidents and minimize their consequences. For this purpose, some measuring locations are announced in advance to remind the drivers: inside the applicable speed limits. The first controls in October take place on October 7 in Grasberg on Wörpedorfer Straße (L133), followed by further locations on the further weeks of the month. A total of four speed measurements are planned for October, including in Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Wallhöfe.
This mobile surveillance is not an isolated case; Around 600 speed measurements are carried out annually in the Osterholz district. As announced by the district in a message, the controls take place both on weekdays, both during the day and during the day. In addition, the Verden/Osterholz police inspection regularly takes controls, which shows how serious the region is with traffic safety.
Diverse control measures
In the past few months there have been numerous speed measurements in the Osterholz district. In September, for example, more than 11-12 controls were carried out per month, although only four of them were announced. The [Weser-Kurier] (https://www.weser-kurier.de/landkreis-osterholz/landkreis-osterholz-klindigkt-s-im-September-Fort-Fort-Doc825ph0Wdikh18f05fh4n reports that three mobile cameras can be used for this purpose and outside the city. These cameras are designed in such a way that they monitor both directions at the same time, which enables increased efficiency in the controls.
Despite the technological advances, the district remains primarily to sensitize drivers: dependent on the inside. Driving too fast is one of the most common causes of traffic accidents, so the announcement of the measurement locations is important because it reminds drivers: inside the speed limits. There are no stationary speed camera in the district, which means that the mobile controls are all the more important.
Statistical basics
Another important point in the discussion about traffic safety is accident statistics. According to the findings of the Federal Statistical Office, the collected data serve to better assess the traffic safety situation. They help to gain comprehensive and differentiated information about accidents, their causes and the people concerned. The goal is to incorporate the results in measures for legislation, traffic education and even in road construction - everything to increase safety on the streets.
In summary, it can be said that the use of mobile speed controls in the Osterholz district is an effective means of sharpening the awareness of traffic safety and reducing the number of traffic accidents. Every single contribution counts, and the measures sound in the right direction after a promising step.
