Radar strips in the Märkisches Kreis: Tempo sinner caught on October 6th!

Today, on October 6, 2025, the district police authority Märkischer Kreis releases the results of its speed monitoring in Menden. The measurements took place in two different places and showed both typical traffic offenses and some gratifying insights.

The first measuring point was in Menden-Lendringsen at the Pascheiepen, where the radar monitoring was active from 07:10 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. A total of 57 vehicles were recorded here. The warning area area was 14 cases, and an administrative offense indicator occurred. The highest measured value was 54 km/h, which is not exactly a model for traffic safety within the closed town. Fortunately, a driving ban was not imposed, all vehicle types belonged to the passenger car category. You can find more details on the website of Digital Daily read.

The second measuring point on Provinzialstrasse was in operation from 9:05 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. 669 vehicles have already been recorded here, and there were 18 warning money advertisements. As in the first measurement, only one case was documented that led to the administrative offense display. The top value here was even 70 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, which is a clear sign of the need for further controls. No driving bans were pronounced in this area either.

A look into the past

These current figures are not to be viewed in isolation. As early as June 18, 2025, the police carried out similar speed measurements, which also showed that many road users disregarded the speed limits. In the measurements on the Schwitter Weg, which took place from 11:40 a.m. to 12:05 p.m., 35 vehicles were recorded, 7 of which were in the caution and 1 administrative offense display. The highest value here was 50 km/h in a zone at a maximum speed of 30 km/h, but it shows that the pace -formed driving is not always taken seriously in the urban area.

On Wilhelmstrasse, 656 vehicles were even recorded from 12:15 p.m. to 3:05 p.m. Here the cantileverary area was 50 cases and 2 administrative offenses. A maximum value of 60 km/h in a 30 km/h zone for motorcycles is also an indication that the message of traffic safety has not yet reached everyone. Hermann-Löns-Straße confirmed this picture with similar violations.

A call to mindfulness

The current results underline how important speed controls are for traffic safety. Each individual is asked to have a good knack in road traffic.
