- Intensified Verification Efforts in Bavaria on Wednesday (Blitzmarathon)
Heads up, speed demons! The traffic police are gearing up for another week of vigilant speed monitoring on Germany's roads, and this time, it's Bavaria that's under the spotlight starting April 9th. Yep, you heard it right! The much-anticipated "24-hour speed marathon" is official, and it's all about ensuring road safety and promoting responsible driving.
Last year saw 132 traffic fatalities due to excessive or inappropriate speed, making up approximately a quarter of all cases. So, this ain't about generating extra cash for the coffers but saving lives and setting right the driving tendencies.
The police will be on the lookout for speed violators at around 1500 measuring points across Bavaria. But, don't get too comfortable just yet; some of these hot spots will be publicized. Cities like Augsburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, Erlangen, Fürth, Ingolstadt, Munich, Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Würzburg are expected to see an increase in law enforcement.
Now, remember, traffic safety isn't a one-state issue; it's a European concern. Northern Bavaria's Polizeipräsidium Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg is also joining the fray. So, get ready to slow down and drive safe, folks!
