Enforcement Trailer Back on B172 Near Königstein to Enforce 70 km/h

The county moved the automated unit to a hazardous uphill section to improve safety.

Overview

  • Authorities positioned the mobile speed camera uphill between the Thürmsdorf turnoff and the Festung Königstein entrance, by the Festungsberg bus stop.
  • It records traffic heading toward Pirna on a stretch where the maximum speed is 70 km/h.
  • The system is an automated Enforcement-Trailer operating from a closed housing without on-site staff.
  • The trailer is clearly marked, video‑monitored, and triggers a light signal if someone approaches too closely.
  • The county rotates two such units; this trailer was previously in Heidenau, where it logged 4,580 violations in 51 days in a 50 km/h zone.
