Lightning weeks in Delmenhorst: Where the speed cameras will be from November 24th!

There will be more mobile speed checks in the city of Delmenhorst and the Oldenburg district in the coming week. From November 24th to 28th, speed measurements will be carried out at various locations to increase road safety and prevent accidents. He has this Weser courier announced.

The lightning locations in Delmenhorst are planned as follows: On Monday there will be checks on Hindenburgstrasse, on Tuesday on Moorkampstrasse, followed by Langenwischstrasse on Wednesday, Kreuzweg on Thursday and finally Yorckstrasse on Friday. In the Oldenburg district, the speed cameras are in the respective locations on these days: Bauernschaft Bühren (Monday), Sandkrug (Tuesday), Harpstedt (Wednesday), Beckeln (Thursday) and Immer (Friday).

Traffic monitoring background

Mobile speed monitoring is part of a comprehensive concept that aims to increase road safety. These controls are not new; The first comprehensive speed monitoring in Germany dates back to the 1950s. Since then, technology has evolved - from simple analog devices to state-of-the-art systems that use laser and digital technologies. According to that Drive Fusion Digital systems are now used to reduce traffic accidents and create increased awareness of responsible driving.

A total of 39,811 speeding violations were recorded in the region in 2023 - a number that includes both stationary and mobile measurements. Of these violations, 18,969 were caused by mobile flash units and 24,842 were caused by stationary systems. An increase was recorded compared to previous years, despite an overall decrease in mobile violations.

Technological developments

In recent years, speed monitoring technology has also changed significantly. Modern devices such as the TraffiStar S350 cameras used in Delmenhorst and the surrounding area not only offer precise measurements, but also more flexible controls. These modern lightning systems allow dynamic adaptation to different traffic situations and can be used both in urban areas and on the highway - a development that experts consider necessary to meet the growing number of road users.

An example of this advanced technology is that the measurement not only targets simple speeding, but can also identify complex patterns and possible danger spots at an early stage. Innovative approaches, such as the use of artificial intelligence to detect and analyze traffic violations, play a crucial role in future traffic monitoring. However, this technology also brings with it challenges, for example with regard to data protection and the legal framework that must ensure that civil rights are protected.

Overall, progress in speed enforcement paints an exciting picture: higher revenue from violations leads to more investment in road safety projects that benefit the entire population. In 2023, for example, over 1.8 million euros were collected from speeding violations, which will be used for traffic calming measures.

In the all-important question of road safety, it is important that there is a balance between the use of modern technologies and consideration for data protection and civil rights. A discussion that will be of great importance in the future in order to sustainably improve the traffic situation on our roads.
