Speed controls in the 31st KW 2024: Police informed about locations

traffic safety in focus: speed controls in Saarland

In the first week of August, increased speed controls are on the agenda in Saarland. The Saarland police will carry out speed measurements from July 29 to August 4, 2024 at various locations. This initiative aims to increase traffic safety and reduce accidents in typical danger zones.

Community and traffic safety

The controls focus on road sections that have been identified as accident frequency points in the past. This shows that the police not only want to punish traffic jams and speeds, but also take a preventive measure to minimize long -term damage and injuries in road traffic. Such measures are essential to raise awareness of traffic rules and to promote respectful handling of road traffic.

planned control locations and times

As part of the controls, speed measurements are carried out on several main traffic axes. The proposed locations include:

• B 51 between Kleinblittersdorf and Saarbrücken
• BAB 62 between ad Nonnweiler and the state border Rhineland-Palatinate
• Specific sections in Merzig, Sulzbach, St. Wendel and Völklingen

The traffic controls are planned for every day of the week, whereby the police also emphasize that in addition to the announced controls, additional operations can occur. This flexible handling enables a targeted reaction to current traffic situations.

importance of traffic controls

The importance of these speed controls cannot be overempined. Especially in an area such as Saarland, where many streets are heavily frequented, it is crucial that traffic safety is in the foreground. The police explained that the measurement locations are based on how often accidents happened there, what consequences they had and what the underlying causes were. This deliberately deals with those areas where the danger for the driver and pedestrian is highest.

especially in the eyes of the public

The announcement of the controls has caused mixed reactions among the population. Many residents show understanding and support for the measures, while some drivers could find the implementation uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the controls represent a contribution to a safer traffic environment and can strengthen confidence in the road traffic regulations in the long term.
