Saxony Moves Mobile 'Superblitzer' to Dresden's Terrassenufer and Dohna

Officials are redeploying costly Vitronic trailers with video monitoring to curb speeding in high‑risk zones.

Overview

  • Dresden placed a mobile Enforcement Trailer at Terrassenufer near Hasenberg, facing outbound traffic where the limit is 30 km/h.
  • In Dohna’s Köttewitz district, a trailer has been stationed on the S178 since Wednesday, monitoring drivers from Glashütte toward Heidenau at a 50 km/h section.
  • The Vitronic units, reported to cost more than €100,000 with some cited around €120,000, are designed for rapid relocation across municipalities.
  • The Dohna device is camouflaged along the roadside under trees, and drivers encounter it just after a left-hand curve before a bus stop.
  • Security features include continuous video oversight and a light that switches on when someone approaches, measures intended to deter vandalism.
