Law enforcement in upper Swabia focuses on monitoring speed limits within their jurisdiction.
In a bid to curb excessive speeding on roads, the Police Headquarters Schwaben Nord conducted speed checks across several districts over the weekend. The initiative, aimed at promoting road safety, resulted in over 300 traffic participants being penalized for driving above the speed limit.
On Sunday, August 17, 2025, traffic police in Donauwoerth conducted speed checks on the federal road B25 near Wallerstein. The checks revealed that nearly 120 drivers were speeding, with one driver reaching a staggering speed of 179 km/h, exceeding the permitted maximum speed of 100 km/h.
