In addition to the locations proposed by citizens, the police will also monitor speeds in other places where, according to statistical indicators, a car accident is caused by improper or improper speed.

An improper speed is still a leading cause of the most serious traffic accidents and deaths on European roads, so this action aims to contribute to reducing the suffering of road users and increasing the driver’s consciousness about the dangers of exceeding the prescribed legal limitations, police say.

They recall that penalties for exceeding speed have increased significantly in many European countries in recent years, but there are still too many drivers who endanger themselves and the lives of other traffic participants at excessive speed.

« Speed ​​determines the weight of the collision. Even a small increase in speed increases the risk of injury, » warns the Police Directorate. They also state that pedestrians have a 90 percent chance of surviving a vehicle rush at a speed of 30 km/h and less than 50 percent at a speed of 50 or more km/h.
