Police in Baden-Württemberg are investigating nine threatening messages painted on curves along roads popular with motorcyclists in the Rems-Murr-Kreis and Esslingen districts. Reports also raised suspicion that oil or other slippery substances had been used, although police say that has not been confirmed. No injuries have been reported, and road crews have removed almost all of the markings.

A simple step such as leaving more space to the vehicle ahead gives you extra time to spot debris. If you see a hazard, do not investigate from the roadway; stop somewhere safe and notify police or the road authority. New riders should picture their own use, check the official conditions and ask a shop or organizer whenever a specification remains unclear.

Even if the reported oil has not been confirmed, threatening graffiti in a bend can still pull a rider’s attention away from the road. This is not a harmless prank, and a dedicated investigation is justified.

If you find something like this, should you call the emergency number?

Stop somewhere safe and report the location first. Do not walk back into the roadway yourself.

Nine locations is not an accident. Riders need a shared map of the affected points.

Reporting the exact location and time can help protect riders who use the road later.

On an unfamiliar mountain road, slow down immediately if the surface sheen changes. Absolutely.

The oil claim is unconfirmed. Better not state it as fact until the investigation reports back.
