Officials characterize targeted checks near schools as safety work, with fines booked to general budgets rather than earmarked projects.

Overview

  • A driver was recorded at 85 km/h in a 30 zone in Torgau, triggering a €480 fine, two points in Flensburg and a one‑month driving ban, the region’s steepest case last year.
  • Torgau’s mobile camera captured about 3,600 violations with €220,000 to €250,000 in fines, while Oschatz logged roughly 1,290 cases and about €57,000 in revenue.
  • Police reported the area’s highest overspeeds in the Torgau and Oschatz precincts at up to 49 km/h and 47 km/h over the limit, focusing controls on urban areas and school environments.
  • Across Nordsachsen, authorities conducted 936 measurement days, registered 14,249 violations and collected more than €862,000, with frequent breaches on the B87 near Gräfendorf and the B6 near Reppen.
  • Municipalities say totals vary with the number of measurement days, and they stress safety priorities in 30‑km/h zones near schools, kindergartens and care homes.
