Grenzackerstrasse in Vienna-Favoriten should have become a hotspot for speeders on Monday. The Viennese police points out that inappropriate speed is one of the main causes of fatal road accidents.
“Vehicles with a speed of 112 km/h, 114 km/h, 118 km/h, 122 km/h and 131 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h could be measured using radar measurement vehicles at Grenzackerstrasse “, the Vienna police reported on Wednesday. The drivers are now threatened with a withdrawal procedure for their driving licence.
Leading cause of fatal accidents
The police emphasize that not respecting the speed limit is often the main cause of fatal traffic accidents. “It is all the more important to take preventive measures, especially in this area,” the officials said. Controlling speed in road traffic is not only an essential task in terms of traffic monitoring, but also makes an important contribution to the safety of all road users.
