Neu-Isenburg shifts focus from speed checks to stricter parking enforcement in 2024

Neu-Isenburg has released its latest traffic enforcement report for 2023-2024. The findings show a mix of stricter parking controls and fewer speed checks. Despite these changes, most drivers continue to follow the rules.

The city conducted fewer mobile speed tests in 2024, dropping from 352 to 251. Revenue from these tests also fell sharply, from around €105,410 in 2023 to €51,280 in 2024. Fixed-speed cameras confirmed that serious violations remain uncommon.

Parking enforcement, however, saw a significant rise. Warnings for parking violations jumped from 14,445 in 2023 to 19,646 in 2024. The city’s revenue from these fines grew too, climbing from €262,192 to €431,261 over the same period. Berlin’s fine processing office reported a similar increase in parking-related penalties.

Neu-Isenburg has also expanded its traffic enforcement team. The public order police force now includes ten officers, supported by improved technical resources. Despite stricter monitoring, the number of unregistered vehicles rose slightly, from 114 in 2023 to 128 in 2024.

The report highlights a shift in enforcement priorities, with more focus on parking and fewer speed tests. While fines for parking violations have risen, serious traffic offences remain low. The city’s investment in personnel and technology appears to be shaping stricter but still fair traffic controls.
