Radar checks in Mannheim and Ludwigshafen: Blacker Week in August
Mannheim and Ludwigshafen will be marked by strict traffic monitoring in the coming week. Drivers should be on radar controls that take place from August 19th to 25th. This program is part of the ongoing effort of the police to make the streets safer and to punish speed overalls.
In Mannheim, the speed camera is distributed on different streets that are listed according to the alphabet. The controls concern, among other things, the Abraham-Lincoln-Allee, Neudorfstrasse and Wormser Straße. In total, several streets are affected on which the police will carry out targeted surveillance. These controls can change at short notice and also take place in other places or times.

The weekly planning is similarly structured in the neighboring town of Ludwigshafen. Various districts are targeted every day of the week. On Monday, August 19, the controls in garden city, Edigheim and Friesenheim have been announced. Different areas such as Maudach, Oggersheim and Rheingönheim will be monitored on the following days. The police have also clarified that controls must also be expected outside the dates and places mentioned.- Monday, August 19: Gartenstadt, Edigheim and Friesenheim
- Tuesday, August 20: Maudach, Mitte and Mundenheim
- Wednesday, August 21: Oppau, Oggersheim and Nord
- Thursday, August 22nd: Pentecost pasture, Rheingönheim and South
- Friday, August 23: Ruchheim, West and Edigheim
- Saturday, August 24: Friesenheim, Oggersheim and Gartenstadt
The measures for traffic monitoring can not only be observed in Mannheim and Ludwigshafen. Radar controls have also been threatened in the area, such as in the area of the Neustadt and Landau police department. In Neustadt, square Obrigheim is on Thursday, August 22nd, on the radar control plan.
additional control program
Another aspect of the speed check affects the Landau police department, which is also active on August 20 in Schwegenheim and on August 21 in Steinfeld. These comprehensive measures are not chosen by chance, but aim to act as a prevention against frenzied drivers and to increase traffic safety.
The presence of radar points in urban and rural areas ensures that all road users have in mind that speed and safety must go hand in hand. Excessive speed is not only punished with fines, but can also have fatal consequences for everyone involved.
It is easy to ignore or underestimate control, especially if the street looks free. But with the upcoming radar controls, drivers should be particularly vigilant and adhere to the speed limits. The police will continue to emphasize that compliance with the speed limits is not only important for their own security, but also for those of the other road users.
A look at the coming week
While drivers are already preparing for the controls, the police will continue to carry out intensive surveillance measures in the next few weeks. It remains to be seen how the number of speed overrun changes under the pressure of these controls. What is certain is that the measures of the police ensure that the risks in road traffic are perceived and reduced.
traffic monitoring measures in Germany
In Germany, traffic monitoring measures, such as speed controls, are an important part of traffic safety. Comprehensive campaigns are carried out annually in the various federal states in order to sensitize road users to the topic of speeding. These controls contribute to reducing the number of traffic accidents and increasing traffic safety for all users.
The police often point out that speed controls not only take place as part of set dates, but can also be carried out surprisingly and irregularly. According to the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI), this is made possible by the combination of inpatient and mobile speed camera vehicles that are used throughout Germany.
Statistical data on traffic safety
The traffic statistics of the Federal Statistical Office shows that the number of traffic fatalities in Germany has decreased continuously in recent years. In 2022, there were a total of 2,890 traffic fatalities, while this value was still over 4,000 in 2011. This positive development is, among other things, the result of effective prevention measures, which also include regular speed monitoring.
In addition, it was found that about 30 percent of serious traffic accidents are due to excessive speed. This illustrates how important the controls mentioned are to minimize the risk of all road users.
reactions of drivers to speed measurements
The drivers' opinions about speed monitoring are shared. While some consider the measures to be necessary for safety in road traffic, others find them exaggerated. A survey of the ADAC from 2023 showed that about 60 percent of the respondents consider the speed measurements to be justified in order to punish traffic violations and avoid accidents. 40 percent, on the other hand, are skeptical and argue that the controls are sometimes not proportionate.
These different perspectives illustrate the challenge of finding a balance between the enforcement of traffic safety and the maintenance of the rights of drivers. Effective communication and education are crucial to strengthen the trust of citizens in the measures of traffic safety.
