Flashlight on Bergheim: New speed controls are imminent!

On December 12, 2024, it’s time to “take your foot off the gas” in Bergheim! Drivers have to be particularly careful today because mobile speed cameras are in use. There is currently lightning on Laacher Straße, zip code 50127 in Ahe. This message reached road users at 9:03 a.m. today. The speed limit there is limited to 30 km/h. Road safety measures are necessary because speed cameras can not only result in fines, but also contribute to improving road safety, such as News.de reported.

As part of the traffic controls, a new speed measuring system was installed on federal highway 252. This measuring column, which has been out of service for some time due to a defect, will soon be put into operation. The location is located at the exit to the Bergheim industrial area, where a speed limit of 70 km/h currently applies. The construction of this facility was a lengthy process that was planned last year, but was delayed due to necessary coordination with the State Roads Authority. The conversion to modern technology cost the community around 50,000 euros nw.de reported.

The planned lightning strikes and the new measuring system are part of the effort to increase traffic safety in the region and stop speeders. To avoid frustration and hefty fines, all drivers should obey posted speed limits and drive considerately.
