Rostock invests 200,000 euros in mobile speed cameras – safety comes first!
The city of Rostock has taken a pioneering step to improve traffic safety. As the NDR reported that 200,000 euros were released for the rental of a mobile speed camera. This decision was recently made by the city's main committee, despite the current budget freeze. A tight budget does not deter those responsible because they are convinced that this investment will quickly pay off in the form of increased traffic safety and revenue from fines.
The amount covers the rental of the mobile speed camera trailer for another year. This year, Rostock has already rented two mobile speed cameras, which have already generated more revenue from fines than originally forecast. According to the data up to mid-October, the unexpected additional income amounts to around 8.5 million euros. These decent numbers speak for themselves and make a convincing step for the safety of the city.
Mobility that convinces
A mobile speed camera is not only a step in the right direction for Rostock, but is also an example of modern, flexible solutions in the area of traffic control. That describes it Merriam Webster the definition of “mobile” as being able to move or be moved. This flexibility allows the city to react to traffic situations at lightning speed and make adjustments where necessary. Imagine: The police can act quickly and flexibly where the risk of speeding is greatest.
The city's most effective fixed speed cameras are located on the city highway, where the highest speed violations were recorded. One of the most frightening measurements was over 70 kilometers per hour over the permitted limit! These figures make it clear how important it is to act preventively and increase road safety.
A good deal for the city
The city administration is firmly convinced that the costs for the speed camera will be recouped within three weeks. Such lightning systems are not only essential for road safety, they also provide significant financial support through the revenue from fines. It's good business for everyone involved and ensures that Rostock becomes even safer.
The investment in mobile flash devices shows that Rostock is keeping up with the times and is also proactively facing the challenges of the traffic safety situation. This is also important in order to have a long-term positive effect on citizens' driving behavior and to raise awareness of speed limits.
