Too many drivers are fooling around the speed limit at the construction site on A2 in Hergiswil. In nearly seven hours, 40 percent of cars were driving too fast.
(sda / mu) A radar check by the Nidwalden Cantonal Police showed that 39 percent of the vehicles were traveling faster than the allowed 60 km / h. The speed check was performed on Wednesday after it was discovered that the stated maximum speed was no longer being respected. 5750 vehicles passed the measurement point for more than six hours, 2240 were traveling too fast. The two fastest drivers traveled at 111 km / h and 112 km / h, respectively.

These numbers are troubling, police wrote in a message Friday. Therefore, motorists should expect more controls in the future.
It is difficult to say why the speed limit suddenly is no longer being followed so well, Pascal Bryner, a spokesman for traffic and security police, said on request. Each individual road user must be responsible for complying with the stated rules. “Nothing has changed in the starting position for the speed limit,” he says. Speed limit 60 is intended to protect workers working in confined spaces, but also road users. If a vehicle had to drive from the highway to the construction site or drop off again, the high speeds of individual cars could be dangerous. In addition, accidents on this section of the highway had a severe impact on traffic, according to the report.
