The police in Oberursel (Ordnungspolizei) carried out speed checks on the Kanonenstraße towards the Feldberg in both directions last week.
On Wednesday, 15th August 2012, between 6.20pm and 8.15pm they measured the speed of 872 vehicles travelling towards either Oberursel or the Sandplacken on a stretch of the road where speeds of up to 100km/h are allowed.
23 of those measured were travelling too fast, with one motorcycle travelling at 146km/h. The driver faces a €160 fine, 3 points on their license and a 1 month driving ban. The same penalty will apply to the driver of the fastest car as well, who was travelling at 153km/h.
There will be temporary traffic lights on the Kanonenstraße (the road leading from Oberursel up to the Feldberg) between 6pm on Friday, 6th July and 6am on Monday, 9th July 2012.
