📋 Tender Overview
April 9, 2025
+++ Since today, 6 a.m., around 2,000 police officers and employees of municipal traffic monitoring as part of the twelfth Bavarian lightning marathon across Bavaria are checking the speed at around 1,470 measuring points. They use modern technology such as laser mesh pistols and high -precision digital measuring devices. All measuring points have been available on an interactive card for a week. The lightning marathon is part of the Speedmarathon, which the European Transport Police Network Roadpol coordinates. The Bavarian police conduct the 24-hour flash marathon until Thursday, April 10, at 6 a.m. With our lightning marathon, we would like to make all road users comply with speed limits, said Bavarias Secretary of State Sandro Kirchner today at a police control center in Munich. There is a school nearby, where km / h. 30 applies. +++
Kirchner emphasized that excessive and non -adapted speed in 2024 was the cause of about a quarter of all fatal traffic accidents. 137 people lost their lives. Everyone is one too much. We control, especially where the risk of accidents is high due to too fast driving, such as in front of schools and kindergartens in urban areas and on country roads outside, explained Kirchner. Despite the early announcement of the controls, many drivers have exceeded speed limits last year. Sad high value in the Bavarian Blitzmarathon 2024: A driver was measured on the BAB 7 near Durach with 166 kilometers per kilometer, although only 80 are allowed. In unteachable drivers, high fines or driving bans are often necessary to rethink, said Kirchner.
The Bavarian lightning marathon is an important part of the 2030 traffic safety program Bayern Mobil - Safe to the goal. Everyone must be aware of the applicable speed limits on their routes, emphasized Kirchner. Kirchner made it clear that these controls are not about pronouncing as many warnings as possible or imposing fines: The lightning marathon has nothing to do with generating income. Our goal is to draw attention to the topic of speed and to sensitize compliance with the given top speeds in order to ultimately protect and protect it rapidly.
The results of the twelfth Bavarian lightning marathon will be released on April 10 around noon.
