Shocking traffic controls in Heilbronn: Police sound the alarm!
On Thursday evening, the Weinsberg traffic police and the Heilbronn police station carried out extensive traffic controls in the Heilbronn city area. The checks took place between 6:00 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning. A total of 60 cars and eight two-wheelers were checked, with 30 violations identified and punished. These actions are part of a regular measure to improve traffic safety, as the city of Heilbronn explains on its website.
The speeding was particularly noticeable: eight drivers were recorded at significantly excessive speeds, including a speed record of over 80 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The deployment of the traffic police reflects the city's efforts to create a safe traffic environment using stationary and mobile measurement technology. Municipal speed monitoring aims to ensure greater safety, particularly in accident hotspots and at-risk areas, such as school routes and 30 km/h zones. For effective monitoring, citizens' wishes and suggestions are taken into account when choosing a location, as shown heilbronn.de described.
Violations and measures
The inspections led to a number of other violations being identified. One driver was behind the wheel of his vehicle despite the driving ban and four others caused unnecessary noise. In addition, five people were not wearing seatbelts and two drivers were using a cell phone while driving. A road user ignored a red light, which was also considered a serious violation.
In addition, three vehicles did not have their operating licenses issued and one of the vehicles was not properly insured. In one case, a defect report was issued, which led to a vehicle being prohibited from continuing to drive. The police measures also included eight evacuation orders for the city center area to ensure public safety.
Ongoing controls and appropriate law enforcement are crucial to improving traffic safety in Heilbronn. The commitment of the city and the police in this area is a step in the right direction to address dangerous traffic situations with decisive measures.
