Kaufungen: Speed checks at schools after the holidays

Speed checks at schools after the holidays

Kaufungen, Vellmar and Kassel:Staff of the radar command of the Kassel police, the municipality of Kaufungen and the city of Vellmar draw a mixed conclusion after joint speed checks they carried out today, Monday, at the start of school after the Christmas holidays at three schools. To protect the students, they checked the speed of road users in the area of the Niederkaufungen primary school, the Obervellmar primary school and the comprehensive school in Kassel-Waldau between 7:00 a.

m. and 1:30 p.m. The highest speed measured on this day was reached by a road user in Vellmar, who was traveling at 50 km/h instead of the permitted 30 kilometers per hour. While 29 of the 1850 vehicles measured were too fast during the checks in the Kassel district, which corresponds to a low excess rate of 1.6 percent, the proportion of those driving too fast in Kassel-Waldau was significantly above the average of past measurements at 13.6 percent. There, 457 vehicles passed through the measuring point, with 62 instances of flashing.
