This week the police are intensifying radar controls throughout the country. Here you can find out on which days and in which federal states lightning strikes occur most frequently.
There is lightning again! From Monday, April 15 to Sunday, April 21, the police in most states will once again carry out intensive speed checks. With the so-called “Speed Week”, the campaign week for greater road safety, the police want to make drivers aware of the risks of driving too fast. This week, speed checks are to be expected, especially at peak times, i.e. in the morning and afternoon, as well as on accident-prone sections of the road and in particularly dangerous places such as schools, nursing homes or nurseries.
Here you can find the location of the measurement points in the radar marathon.

Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein participate in the week of action, but no more controls are planned for the day of the 19th than for the rest of the week. In Bavaria and Brandenburg, however, enhanced speed checks are only carried out on Fridays.
