With the “Mobile.

But sure!” the Hamburg police ensure even more security on Hamburg's streets.

There will now be focus checks every month.

Hamburg – The wide range of mobility options in Hamburg is a great freedom.

But precisely this freedom to move around in Hamburg is also risky.

In 2021, 20 people died in traffic accidents on the streets of Hamburg.

In order to ensure even more safety on the road, the Hamburg police are now taking even more targeted and consistent action.

On Tuesday morning, May 17, 2022, the deputy head of the police force Matthias Tresp, spokeswoman Sandra Levgrün and police vice president Morten Struve presented the new campaign “Mobil.

But sure!”.

In particular, the vulnerable road users such as cyclists or e-scooter drivers are the focus.

For the people of Hamburg this means: More controls.

For more traffic safety: Even more traffic controls

Deputy Chief of Police Morten Struve said: "When presenting the traffic accident figures for 2021, I already announced that road safety will be one of our most important tasks this year.

We will continue and intensify our already great efforts to improve road safety.”

Traffic control in Hamburg: "We as the Hamburg police will do what is necessary."

The first large-scale inspections in the Hamburg city area will start on Tuesday.

As part of the campaign, there will now be monthly changing priority checks, such as red light surveillance or distraction from cell phones at the wheel.

Matthias Tresp, deputy head of the security police, explains: "Every road user in Hamburg must expect checks at all times!"

Tresp continues: “As the Hamburg police, we will do what is necessary to reduce traffic accidents, which often have tragic consequences.

With "Mobile.

But sure!” we set an example for all people in Hamburg and especially for vulnerable road users.

At this point, I would also appeal to all road users, whether on foot, by bicycle or e-scooter, by bus and train or in their own car, to comply with the traffic regulations!”
