Annoying because of much too fast driving of cars, trucks, mopeds and Fadbike

Beautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, much too fast driving by all traffic, the maximum speed is only 30 km/h and is hugely exceeded in some places. Behind houses, 3 cars regularly come a few times a week and according to residents, drugs are traded, judging by the packaging left behind. Children play there, but the police do not check despite various reports and video footage that have been offered to the police.

Nice neighbourhood with lots of greenery, which is well maintained

The neighbourhood looks good with various beautiful and nice houses. The number of playing children is increasing, but for them it is very unsafe because the through road Viergang, where a maximum speed of 30 km/h applies, is used as a racetrack by cars, trucks and mopeds. Sometimes there is an electronic speed display, where very often speeds that the user considers normal, such as 60 to even 90 km per hour, are achieved. I have observed this myself when I monitored the speed registration for a while, but no results of the registration findings ever come out. I have often complained about this, but to no avail. My preference is therefore to put many more stickers and signs along and on the road and more higher speed bumps. Also on various remote parking lots behind residential blocks, we have various cars gathering in the evening hours between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we see on camera that multiple people get into one car and later disappear in all directions, and this happens every week. We have reported this to the police, but as far as we know, nothing has ever been checked about what the youth are up to there. We as a neighbourhood find this worrying. All in all, we hope that the situation on the Viergang improves and that speed-limiting actions are taken, as well as checking what the youngsters are up to on the parking lots.
