In Delmenhorst, the speed camera is also available in different locations. On Monday, May 26th, Syker Straße will be monitored, followed by the Zeppelinweg on Tuesday on May 27th.

The monitored intersections in Delmenhorst include Friedrich-Ebert-Allee/Koppelstraße, Hasporter Damm/Berliner Straße and several others. Here is also pointed out to the importance of speed controls in order to reduce the noise pollution and avoid accidents, especially near schools and retirement homes.

The importance of traffic safety

The police and the traffic authorities perceive these controls as an important means of increasing traffic safety. Statistics show that speed violations can contribute significantly to accidents. According to Destatis , reliable and comprehensive data about traffic accidents are decisive for legislative measures and traffic education.

The annual accident statistics illustrate the relationships between accident -determining factors and can provide important information for future measures in road construction and vehicle technology. Thus, these controls are not only regarded as a law violation, but also as part of a larger strategy to improve road traffic safety.

With special attention to repeated speed measurements and information, the authorities can hope to reduce the numbers in the long term and thus also ensure more safety in road traffic. Drivers should always drive carefully and foresight, especially on rural roads, where game changes can be common.
