lambrecht (Pfalz)

On the evening of August 7, 2024, the Neustadt police inspection carried out an important measure on traffic safety in Lambrecht. As part of the Europe -wide “speed” campaign, a comprehensive speed measurement was carried out from 10:00 p.m. to 11:15 p.m.

results of the speed measurement

A total of 45 drivers were measured, 8 of whom exceeded the permissible top speed of 50 km/h. These numbers reflect a complaint of around 18 %. A 26-year-old cyclist who was traveling at 83 km/h was particularly striking. He now threatens a fine of at least EUR 180 and a point in the driver's license register.

The importance of the action for the community

The Europe -wide focus week "speed" is not only a police move, but also a signal to the community that traffic safety is top priority. Driving too fast is one of the most common causes of traffic accidents, so such measures are crucial in order to sharpen the awareness of road users and increase safety on the streets.

effects on the driving behavior

The results of the speed measurements can make an important contribution to improving driving behavior in the region. If drivers know that controls take place regularly, they may be more inclined to adhere to the speed regulations. This can help to reduce the number of traffic accidents and their serious consequences.

FAZIT

The speed measurement in Lambrecht is an example of the overarching strategy to improve traffic safety. Thanks to such measures, both police and citizens can contribute to safer road traffic. The hope is that the sensitization of speed violations promotes a more hygienic way of dealing with road traffic, which ultimately not only lowers the number of accidents, but also increases the general feeling of safety in road traffic.
