Police set up permanent speed controls on the Great Belt Bridge

Permanent speed control is being introduced on the Great Belt Bridge. This time, the police are behind it, after Sund and Bælt themselves tried a solution last year.

The police have decided to introduce permanent speed checks on the Great Belt Bridge. This follows a failed attempt by Sund & Bælt last year, where the automatic speed checks could not issue fines due to poor image quality.

Sund & Bælt writes to TV2 Øst that they have observed several dangerous situations with drivers driving too fast, especially during wind restrictions or accidents.

– Unfortunately, we have seen a number of very dangerous situations where drivers drive far too fast on the bridge, especially during periods of wind restrictions or accidents.

"Thereby, they not only put themselves and other road users in serious danger, but an accident on the bridge can also cause major inconvenience to traffic between Eastern and Western Denmark," says Sund & Bælt in an email to TV2 Øst.

Speed enforcement is expected to improve traffic safety and reduce the risk of accidents.

Previous attempts at automatic speed control on the Great Belt Bridge proved to be ineffective. In fact, they have not worked at all.

In June, TV2 reported that none of the 31 drivers who were caught speeding received a ticket.

The police explained at the time that the images from the automatic speed control were of too poor quality to identify the drivers.

With the police's new speed control initiative, it is expected that drivers who violate speed limits will be held accountable. This will contribute to creating safer traffic flow on the Great Belt Bridge, believes Sund & Bælt.
