A nationwide speed enforcement marathon was held on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, with police officers conducting speed checks at 540 locations.
Even though the locations of police speed checks were announced in advance, 803 cases of speeding and 45 cases of tailgating were recorded nationwide during the enforcement period, between 6 am and 6 pm.
Most speeding still takes place in built-up areas, where 523 violations were recorded on Wednesday. On roads outside built-up areas, there were 134 cases of speeding and 146 on motorways and expressways. This enforcement campaign, which was primarily intended to serve as a preventive measure and to reduce driving speeds on our roads, was conducted simultaneously in nearly all European Union member states.
