Red light flashes – 150 euros punishment – even though the traffic light was green?

Date:

At the intersection from Lunzer Straße to the bypass of Ebelsberg in Linz, flashes are currently being raised – but many drivers are convinced that they have been driven correctly. The residents are upset and require answers. What is actually behind the many criminal mandates?

If you currently know from Lunzer Straße to the Mona-Lisa tunnel, you could experience an ugly déjà-vu: first a flash, then a letter-this is a letter-plocking you are 150 euros poorer, although many are convinced that you have driven green.

So far completely unobtrusive
What makes things particularly explosive: the monitoring of the red light there is not new – but so far has been completely unobtrusive. Now the penalties are piling up. Several residents report that they were flashed twice in a very short time, although they were driven into the intersection with green flashy traffic lights as usual. The suspicion: the system is now hypersensitive – or has been set incorrectly.

“It almost looks like rip -off”
In the settlement around Theodor-Grill-Straße, the displeasure causes a good resentment. The symptoms are hot in the local neighborhood group, dozens of the affected report. Daniel Hartl, chairman of the Neighborhood Association, finds clear words: “The accumulation of penalties in such a short time makes many residents restless. This now almost looks like RIP -OFF. We expect the cause to be quickly found and monitoring is checked for the correct function.”

Stramwerk between 150 and 726 euros
Red light cameras generally serve to prevent and punishing red light violations and punishing. In the Linz area, the punishment for a violation is between 150 and 726 euros. If there is a risk for other road users, the penalties can even be up to 2180 euros. Given the current accumulation of such penalties, the pressure on the authorities is growing to closely check the technology and their institutions.
