Periodic update: details of events from November 11 to November 17, 2024

South Hesse is taking a proactive approach to reduce the risk of accidents and improve road safety, with enhanced speed checks set to take place across several key routes over the coming week.

Beginning on Monday, November 11, the focus will be on the Federal Highway 45 towards Hanau, particularly near the construction end in Steinheim. On the same day, County Road 903 between Niedermittlau and Rothenbergen will also be under observation.

On Tuesday, November 12, the B 45 will be monitored in two sections: in the direction of Hanau at the construction end in Steinheim and between the Tannenmühle roundabout and the A3 on-ramp towards Dieburg.

The following days will see these checks continue and expand to other areas. On Wednesday, November 13, the B 45 towards Hanau will be the focus of speed measurements. On Friday, November 15, checks will move to Hanau on the Maintaler Straße towards Dornigheim, as well as on Brachttal on the Hammerstraße, in both directions. Over the weekend, November 16 and 17, there will again be checks in Hanau on the Maintaler Straße towards Dornigheim.

These road sections have been identified as accident hotspots due to risky driving behavior. The South Hesse Police Headquarters will focus on these areas, as well as others with an increased risk of accidents and areas deemed dangerous due to excessive speeds.

It's worth noting that the speed controls in Hanau on the Maintaler Straße towards Dornigheim are typically overseen by local authorities, such as the Hessian police, who work with communal staff to monitor traffic during such events. However, specific details about November 15th are not available in the provided information.

These enhanced speed checks aim to raise awareness of speed limits and encourage drivers to adhere to them, ultimately helping to reduce the number of accidents on these busy roads. The checks will continue throughout the week, underscoring the commitment of South Hesse authorities to promoting road safety in the region.
