Flashing in Augsburg: Where the pace sinners have to calculate now!

carried out in 2024 speed measurements in Augsburg show an alarming picture of the traffic discipline in the city. The urban traffic surveillance, which corresponds to about 51 days, has carried out speed measurements in Rumplerstraße, a strongly frequented connection between B17 and B300 in the Augsburg Univiertel. These measures are part of a more comprehensive strategy to improve compliance with speed regulations and to promote traffic safety.

An outstanding example of the determined speed violations is the case of a vehicle that was flashed in Rumplerstrasse at 119 km/h, although only 50 km/h are permitted there. The consequences for this violation amounted to a fine of 790 euros, two points in Flensburg and a three -month driving ban. In 2023, more than 70,000 speed violations were documented in Augsburg, which indicates the need for increased controls.

increased controls and social responsibility

The speed monitoring is increased in particular around kindergartens and schools at the beginning of school to ensure the safety of the children. The traffic surveillance service works closely with the police to select suitable locations for speed measurements. Citizens can also contact speed monitoring if you notice that many cars drive too fast on a certain street.

In the urban area, eight employees are responsible for the speed measurements. You are responsible for determining vehicle owners who committed speed overruns and have not paid any fines. Specific border and tolerance values apply to speed measurements. In the city, a traffic error limit of 3 km/h is deducted from the measured speed, so that violations are not pursued if the speed limit is exceeded by less than 5 km/h after deduction.

For the permissible speeds of 30 km/h or 50 km/h, the following applies that violations of up to 38 km/h or up to 58 km/h are not punished. In order to increase the safety in road traffic, the prescribed tempo limits is urgently asked.
