Record speedster in Winnenden: 104 km/h measured in the city center!
The speed controls in Winnenden have produced alarming results. Since the speed cameras on Waiblinger Straße were put into operation for the first time on March 20th, it has become apparent that road users are committing serious speeding violations in some places. This is particularly clear in an almost record-breaking case: a driver was measured at 104 km/h in the city center, which is more than twice the speed limit. The location of the speed camera columns is in the renovated part of Waiblinger Straße, where work has been done to improve traffic safety in recent years. ZVW reports a request to the city administration to obtain more precise figures on the frequency of “lightnings”.
Speed checks are an important tool for checking speed on the roads, not only in Winnenden, but also nationwide. These measures primarily serve to improve road safety and prevent accidents. Loud Catalog of fines Checks often take place at danger spots, such as busy intersections, where residents experience a high risk of extreme speeds.
Legal situation and fines
Penalties for speeding vary significantly depending on the severity of the violation. In urban areas, the catalog of fines is staggered according to km/h, starting at 30 euros for minor violations up to 800 euros and a driving ban for over 70 km/h. These measures are intended to create a clear incentive to comply with traffic rules. The following overview shows the fines for speeding in inner cities:
| Speed (km/h) | Fine (€) | Points/driving ban |
|---|---|---|
| until 10 | 30 | – |
| 11 – 15 | 50 | – |
| 16 – 20 | 70 | – |
| 21 – 25 | 115 | 1 point |
| 26 – 30 | 180 | 1 month driving ban |
| 31 – 40 | 260 | 1 month driving ban |
| 41 – 50 | 400 | 1 month driving ban |
| 51 – 60 | 560 | 2 month driving ban |
| 61 – 70 | 700 | 3 month driving ban |
| over 70 | 800 | 3 month driving ban |
The control itself is carried out using various measuring methods, including speed traps and light barriers, which, depending on the technology, use the Doppler effect or time measurement. These innovative processes increase the efficiency and accuracy of speed measurements.
The current data from Winnenden shows that despite these measures, some road users apparently ignore the risk and ignore the maximum speed limit. It remains to be hoped that in the long term traffic safety in the city can be further improved through increased controls and educational work.
