A total of four new speed display signs have been installed in Kanzem and Konz-Karthaus. The signs are located on Brückenstraße and Saarburger Straße in Kanzem, and on Brunostraße in Konz-Karthaus. They record the speed of vehicles and provide road users with immediate feedback on their driving behavior. The aim is to raise awareness of speed limits and further improve local road safety. The new signs were funded by Westenergie.

Mayor Guido Wacht explains:

"The speed display signs have already proven their worth in many locations in Konz. They draw road users' attention to their speed and encourage them to adjust their driving behavior. With this, we aim to strengthen awareness of considerate interaction in road traffic and contribute to greater road safety."

New speed limit sign Kanzem
Westenergie municipal manager Christian Nathem, civil engineering office employee Julia Mayer and the deputy mayor of the local municipality of Kanzem, Werner Malburg, jointly inspect the new speed displays in Kanzem.




Werner Malburg, the deputy mayor of the local municipality of Kanzem, emphasizes:

"This allows road users to see from a distance whether the speed limit is being observed and adjust their speed accordingly. We want to raise awareness of considerate driving behavior with this."

An environmentally friendly solar panel powers the speed displays. This eliminates the need for a separate electrical connection, allowing for flexible deployment at various locations. Westenergie municipal manager Christian Nathem explains: “As Westenergie, we are committed to projects that improve the daily lives of local residents. These solar-powered speed displays combine sustainable technology with a tangible contribution to road safety.”
