Overview
- A short social-media video showed a mobile speed camera facing the apparent wrong way in a one-way street and drew national ridicule.
- City officials responded with a public video and the line “Hat also alles seine Richtigkeit” to explain the placement and defuse mockery.
- The municipality says the camera was positioned to catch vehicles driving the wrong way under a temporary one-way regulation caused by construction.
- A WDR report says the device has since been turned back to its usual orientation and is again recording speeders in the 30 km/h zone.
- The episode highlights that mobile cameras can be used to target wrong-way driving as well as speeding and shows how cities now use social media and humor to manage public reaction.
