Speed controls in Saarland: These routes are affected!

In the coming week, speed controls will be increasingly on the plan in the coming week. The police have announced that between 14 and 20 October 2024 to carry out controls in different regions of the federal state. The aim of these measures is to reduce the number of accidents on particularly endangered road sections and increase traffic safety. This is a clear indication that the police are of great importance to traffic safety.

The police emphasize that these measures not only serve to control road users, but also to have a preventive effect. By announcing the controls, one hopes that drivers adjust their speed and thus contribute to safety on the streets.

The specified checkpoints are only a subset of the possible monitoring measures. In addition, unexpected controls can also take place, and in certain cases, planned operations can be omitted for various reasons.

This procedure is part of a more comprehensive plan to improve traffic safety in Saarland. The police strive to reduce the number of traffic accidents and to sensitize road users to the dangers in road traffic. This is particularly important because the frequency of accident in certain areas gives rise to concern.
