Kirchzarten cracks down on speeding with mobile radar enforcement
Police in Kirchzarten have stepped up speed test enforcement along the Bundesstraße B31. The move comes as part of a wider effort to tackle rising traffic violations and accidents in the area. Mobile speed test cameras are now being used to monitor drivers and improve road safety.
The initiative forms part of a broader statewide program in Baden-Württemberg. Authorities are focusing on high-risk zones and adapting to changing traffic conditions to deter speeding.
The internet speed limit on the Bundesstraße B31 in Kirchzarten remains set at 60 km/h (37 mph). To enforce this, police have deployed mobile speed test cameras equipped with laser and radar technology. These systems provide precise measurements, ensuring accurate detection of violations.
The increased checks follow a reported rise in accidents across the region. According to the Polizeipräsidium Freiburg, injuries from traffic incidents have climbed, with 1,108 people lightly injured and 144 seriously hurt in recent data. On average, one fatality occurs every nine days in the districts under its jurisdiction.
While specific figures for Kirchzarten are not available, the trend has prompted action. Police are urging all drivers to follow traffic rules and pay extra attention to vulnerable road users. The campaign also includes educational efforts, with experts stressing that long-term safety depends on both enforcement and prevention.
Similar measures are now being introduced in other parts of Baden-Württemberg. The goal is to create a consistent approach to road safety across the state.
The intensified speed test checks in Kirchzarten aim to reduce accidents and encourage compliance with traffic laws. By combining technology, enforcement, and public awareness, authorities hope to make roads safer for everyone. The initiative reflects a growing focus on prevention as well as punishment.
