Razor in the Odenwald: Police checked speed violations!

In the night of Thursday, October 10, the police carried out targeted speed controls in the Odenwald region. Officials from the Erbach police station concentrated on two specific locations to increase traffic safety and take measures against speeding.

The first control point was set up in the village of Reichelsheim between 0:30 and 1:00 a.m. on Darmstädter Straße (Bundesstraße 38). A speed limit of 30 km/h applies here during the night hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. This regulation serves the security of pedestrians and residents who are increasingly in public space in the quieter times. In this short period of time, the police caught a total of four road users who did not respect the speed limit. The most striking was a driver who was traveling at a speed of 58 km/h. A fine of 280 euros and a point in Flensburg awaits him for this considerable exceeding, which could also have an impact on its driving license in the long term.

The second measuring point was set up in Erbach from 4:30 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Neckarstraße (Bundesstraße 45). The same speed limit of 30 km/h at night also applies here. During this check, five drivers were not ready to adhere to the regulations, but their speeds were only moving in the area, which is punished with a warning money. This regulation enables minor violations to be punished without major financial punishments, which may be motivating for the drivers on the one hand to adhere to the speed limits, but on the other hand can also stimulate the general discussion about traffic safety.

The measures of the police are part of a continuous strategy to improve traffic safety and to sensitize drivers for the importance of speed limits, especially in sensitive.area, where the safety of pedestrians and other road users is in the foreground. The police appealed to all road users to observe the regulations to minimize risks in road traffic.
