At the big speed camera marathon on April 19, 2024, speed offenders will be targeted. A list shows where and when 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. The effect is only limited to the period of strict monitoring; there are no long-term effects of the high level of staffing. Police unions also complain about the increasing use of speed camera trailers. However, this is becoming ever smaller due to the high-level of staffing of camera trailers in the U.S. and Europe. The procedure for the speed camera Marathon varies from state to state. In most cases, it is not just the police departments that are increasingly carrying out speed camera checks, but also cities and districts.
