Overview

• The second Speedweek runs August 4–10 in alignment with the Europe-wide Roadpol Operation Speed campaign.
• Controls are spread throughout the week with no single blitz day, differing from the April marathon.
• Enforcement teams deploy laser handhelds, video vehicles, speed trailers and stationary cameras in accident-prone zones.
• Participation is lower this summer with ten states joining, while Bavaria remains the only major holdout.
• Critics, including the Police Union and German Lawyers’ Association, argue that time-limited campaigns may not drive lasting changes in speeding behavior.
