Encirclement by 101 along Gustav-Stresemann ring
In the heart of Germany, the city of Wiesbaden witnessed a heightened police presence last week during the ROADPOL action week 'Speed.' This Europe-wide initiative, spearheaded by the network ROADPOL (European Roads Policing Network), aimed to curb speeding and ensure road safety.
The action week saw enforcement officers patrolling several key routes, including Veilchenweg, Wenzel-Jaksch-Straße, Konrad-Adenauer-Ring, Biebricher Allee, and the Gustav-Stresemann-Ring, particularly near the tunnel exit towards the main station.
On the Theodor-Heuss-Bridge, between 11:00 and 15:00, 14 violations were detected. Among the most notable offenders were an Audi Q8, which followed with 96 km/h, and a Lotus driver who stood out for exceeding the permitted speed limit of 50 km/h with an astonishing 110 km/h. A motorcyclist also caught the attention of the authorities for reaching 101 km/h, where the limit is 50, and will face a driving ban.
Eight violations were detected alone on Biebricher Allee, including a VW Golf at 99 km/h. However, on two route sections, all road users complied perfectly with the speed limit.
Four more people can expect a point in their driving record, and three other drivers will also face driving bans for speeding. The police announced that they will continue to conduct regular speed tests in the future to penalize violations and prevent accidents.
The residents of Wiesbaden were predominantly positive towards the speed tests, acknowledging their necessity, especially in areas with many pedestrians, children playing, and cyclists. The police continued their presence in the evening for speed enforcement.
No new traffic news or news from the district of Kastel was mentioned in relation to this action week. The available search results do not specify which police officer in Wiesbaden was responsible for conducting the special speed tests during the ROADPOL action day 'Speed' on August 6, 2025. No new fines overview was provided, and no new driving bans or points in driving records were mentioned outside of the reported incidents.
The Wiesbaden police's commitment to road safety during the ROADPOL action week serves as a reminder for all drivers to respect speed limits and prioritise the safety of all road users. The police will continue to maintain a presence on the city's roads to ensure compliance with traffic regulations and prevent accidents.
