In an effort to enhance road safety and reduce the number of accidents, the South Hesse Police Headquarters will be conducting targeted speed checks on federal road 459 from December 16 to 22, 2024. The focus of these checks will be on the section before the Geisfeld roundabout in Dreieich, heading towards Offenbach.

The speed checks will take place on weekdays and weekends, covering the entire 51st week of the year. The police will measure speeds at the location every day, with the goal of improving safety specifically at the Geisfeld roundabout.
The speed checks on federal road 459 are part of a broader effort to improve safety on this section of the road. By taking these measures, the authorities hope to create a safer environment for all road users and reduce the number of accidents at this accident hotspot.
