Checks at Schools and Main Traffic Arteries
The current speed camera locations include strategically important and sensitive areas. The GutsMuths-Sportgymnasium in the area of Wöllnitzer Straße and Oberaue is a classic location for speed checks. Here, the focus is on protecting the numerous students on their way to classes and training facilities.
Compliance with the applicable speed limits (often 30 km/h) is also being checked in the sometimes narrow and winding residential streets in the Kernberge district. Another checkpoint is located in Isserstedt. This district in the west of Jena is intersected by the Bundesstraße 7 (B7). As an important commuter route towards Weimar and the Autobahn 4, experience shows that speeding often occurs here at the entrance and exit of the town.
Background: Speed Checks in Jena
The city of Jena and the Thuringian police position mobile speed cameras primarily at accident hotspots, in front of educational institutions, kindergartens, and in noise protection zones. According to the current catalog of fines, exceeding the speed limit within built-up areas by 11 to 15 km/h already results in a fine of 50 euros. From an excess of 21 km/h, higher fines, points in Flensburg, and in extreme cases, driving bans are possible.
