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. The effect is only limited to the period of strict monitoring; there are no long-term effects. Police unions complain about the high level of staffing. However, this is becoming ever smaller due to the use of speed camera trailers and cameras in schools, kindergartens and retirement homes. 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. If you want to protect yourself from a ticket by looking at your cell phone, you have a problem. Driving with the speed camera app switched on is forbidden for all occupants - even if there is a loophole.
