Blitzermarathon Intensifies Across Germany with Peak Enforcement Today

Coordinated by the Roadpool network, the week-long campaign targets speeding and other violations, with unannounced checks in high-risk areas reaching their height on April 9.

The Europe-wide Blitzermarathon, running from April 7-13, 2025, focuses on reducing speeding and enhancing road safety through intensified enforcement.
April 9 marks the peak of the campaign, with unannounced mobile and stationary speed checks concentrated in accident-prone zones, school areas, and near kindergartens.
In Rheinland-Pfalz, the campaign began early on April 7 as part of 'Speedweek,' targeting speeding, tailgating, and mobile phone use while driving.
German law prohibits the use of radar warning systems, including smartphone apps, to alert drivers to speed checks, with violations subject to penalties.
A second enforcement campaign is planned for August 2025, spanning August 4-10, but will not feature a designated peak enforcement day.
