Zwickau's Superblitzer remains: More safety and millions every month!

Zwickau's Superblitzer remains: More safety and millions every month!

The city of Zwickau has come up with a plan that could permanently change traffic in the region. After the new super speed camera detected over 6,000 vehicles in a four-month test phase, the city wants to use the innovative device permanently. This reports Free press. The clear intention behind this step is to increase road safety, which is very important given the increasing number of accidents.

The so-called “Enforcement Trailer” was only recently put into operation and has already made a positive impression. Loud Radio Zwickau The trailer looks like a parked car trailer and can be used flexibly in various locations, including accident hotspots and in front of schools and kindergartens. With its armored construction and its weight of just under one ton, it is well protected against vandalism and theft.

Another step towards road safety

In the future, the speed camera will be rented for 136,500 euros per year from a specialized company that is also responsible for the maintenance and transport of the device. A corresponding decision to retain the speed camera is to be made at the Finance Committee meeting next Tuesday. In the first four months, the speed camera has already generated income of several hundred thousand euros, which is an economically attractive measure for the city.

The decision for the new speed camera is no coincidence. The developments in traffic control in Germany show a change in strategy. Since the 1950s, technology has continually improved, from analog radar detectors to the intelligent, networked systems used today. These advances have a clear goal: reducing traffic accidents and promoting responsible driving, as documented Drive Fusion.

Technology at the service of security

The new measuring devices are not only more flexible, but also more effective. Mobile systems like the Enforcement Trailer combine various measurement methods to obtain the most comprehensive picture of traffic behavior. And the technical possibilities are also considerable: from the use of laser-based systems to AI-supported image analysis – all of this shows how much road traffic monitoring has changed in recent years.

With this new approach, the city of Zwickau not only wants to increase traffic safety, but also raise drivers' awareness of responsible driving. If everything goes according to plan, the new super speed camera could become an integral part of the Zwickau streetscape. The anticipation for the next meeting of the Finance Committee is increasing because the decision could have far-reaching consequences for transport policy in the region.
