Cruisin' Through Rhineland-Palatinate: Speedweek's Blitz Marathon Hits the Road

- Rhineland-Palatinate's Blitzmarathon is currently in progress

Welcome speed demons, here's your heads-up! Rhineland-Palatinate's Speedweek has reached its climax, and the Blitz Marathon is in full swing. From Monday onwards, expect some intense police crackdown on reckless driving as part of this "Speedweek."

Catch up on the rules of the road, folks. Driving too fast, fiddling with your mobile while rolling, or failing to secure your cargo properly are just some of the offenses that'll land you in hot water. The Traffic Directorate Mainz has sounds the alarm.

Multiple police headquarters are joining forces to tackle this spinning tire spectacle: Koblenz, Trier, Kaiserslautern, and Ludwigshafen. However, in Mainz, they've opted out for a Wednesday control spree – don't be deceived!

Speeding hotspots abound

The police haven't spilled the beans about the exact locations for these speed checks. Sniff out the spots where you can expect increased vigilance. They often set up camp near schools, kindergartens, and traffic-calmed zones – places where speed limit violations are a common sight, according to a police spokesperson.

This year, the hubbub centers around accident-prone locations in the Rhineland and West Palatinate. Trier cops have dished out some more information: checks will take place along the Moselle, Trier, Wittlich, Bitburg, and Saarland border, with surprise measures popping up here and there.

The Kaiserslautern HQ, on the other hand, is conducting control campaigns at random spots each day across West Palatinate. Remember, excessive speed is a leading cause of accidents, as the Bad Dürkheim police declare. They're aiming to drive home that message with the Blitz Marathon, making road users aware of those dangers.

So, watch your speed during the Blitz Marathon in Rhineland-Palatinate. Keep your eyes peeled for increased police presence and speed cameras at accident-prone areas, near schools and kindergartens, around senior citizen homes, and in construction zones. The authorities focus on these places to crack down on speeders and boost safety on roads.

Oh, and hang up on those calls, keep two hands on the wheel, and be mindful of the speed limits. The last thing you want is to end up with a hefty fine! Safe driving, fellow motorists!
