The selection of the surveillance locations is based on accident statistics that focus on areas with heaped accidents. The goal is to identify potential danger points for pedestrians and drivers and to contribute through mobile speed controls to reduce the risk of accidents.

It is important to note that the authorities also remain flexible when carrying out the controls. In some cases, the announced speed cameras could be eliminated for a short time, but there may also be additional stationations.
