Disguised 'Superblitzer' Deployed on S178 in Köttewitz Is Defaced a Day Later

The Vitronic trailer monitors a 50 km/h stretch by a bus stop, costing about €120,000.

Overview

  • The mobile enforcement trailer is positioned between roadside bushes on Altenberger Straße (S178) in the Dohna district of Köttewitz.
  • The unit is covered in dark green foil to blend into the surroundings and catch speeding drivers by surprise.
  • Drivers heading toward Dohna encounter the device shortly before a bus stop where the speed limit is 50 km/h.
  • Vehicles exceeding the limit are photographed by the system, which TAG24 reports carries a price tag of around €120,000.
  • Despite built-in video protection against tampering, the trailer was smeared with gray paint one day after it was set up.
