Fake 50 km/h Sign Over 30 Zone at Freudenberg Speed Camera Triggers Criminal Probe
Authorities will void speed measurements taken during the deception to protect misled drivers.
Overview
- An unknown person covered a 30 km/h sign with a 50 km/h sign directly before a speed camera on Heuslingstraße in Freudenberg-Oberheuslingen, Siegen-Wittgenstein.
- Police removed the counterfeit sign and opened a case for attempted dangerous interference in road traffic.
- The speed camera was set to 30 km/h, so some motorists were likely recorded as speeding while following the fake limit.
- County officials said any violations captured during the tampering period will not be prosecuted.
- Investigators report no suspects or motive to date, and the 30 km/h limit exists due to a curvy roadway and a school bus stop.
