Speed camera marathon and increasing income

This clearly shows that speeding is a serious problem to which authorities need to step up their response to ensure road safety. The T Online The article explains that speed cameras not only fill the city's coffers today, but also play an important role in the fight against speeders.
The use of modern technology
Speed cameras are a common sight in Hamburg's cityscape, with studies showing that the effectiveness of speed measurements is particularly high here. Compared to cities like Berlin or Munich, Hamburg drivers exceed the speed limit significantly more often. New mobile speed cameras are being tested to improve the accuracy and efficiency of measurements.
The police remain vigilant and citizens are well advised to always keep an eye on the speed limits. Speeding violations are treated with tolerances of three km/h below 100 km/h and three percent above 100 km/h, but even these deductions do not protect against a possible fine. The city administration and the police appeal to all road users to adhere to the regulations and thus contribute to road safety in Hamburg.
