Just a few days ago, police officers in the municipality of Griffen stopped a speeding driver at 192 km/h!

The fight for noise protection and speeders in Enzelsdorf seems to be paying off: "Since the 'Krone' was on site, a fresh wind has been blowing. Things are finally moving forward," says local resident Florian Husel. Just last week, the police were able to stop a speeding driver who was doing no less than 192 km/h on the speedometer. Naturally, the ticket is gone.

As reported in detail, the residents have been fighting against speeders and noise pollution for almost two decades now. But so far in vain. This is despite the fact that local residents are doubly burdened by the volume of traffic on the Südautobahn and Packer Straße, and drivers usually ignore the 70 km/h speed limit.

Petition for noise protection
Griffen's police commander Günther Kazianka: "We will continue to be present, even invisibly." However, residents can also contact the Griffen police station directly. In addition, a new petition for noise protection was presented to Governor Peter Kaiser on Monday. Local resident August Verhounig: "75 signatures have been collected so far."
