At the speed camera marathon 2024 on April 19th, speed offenders will be targeted. A list shows when and where drivers need to be particularly careful.
The first day of action, then called the “Blitzmarathon”, took place in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2012. It has been carried out throughout Germany since 2013. “Roadpol Operation Speed” is now carried out regularly in many EU countries. In recent years, many people have died due to speeding and illegal racing. Excessive or inadequate speed is still one of the main causes of accidents. The effect is only limited to the period of strict monitoring; there are no long-term effects. However, this is becoming ever smaller due to the increasing use of speed camera trailers.. Police unions also complain about the high level of staffing for the trailers. The number of speed cameras in Germany is rapidly rapidly increasing. In most cases, it is not just the police departments that are increasingly carrying out speed camera checks, but also cities and districts.
