The invention relates to a
system (11) and a method for speed monitoring of vehicles (12, 13), in particular motor vehicles, wherein the
system can be arranged on a monitoring vehicle (10) designed as a motor vehicle, wherein the
system comprises at least one sensor device (14, 15), wherein at least two, preferably at least three, beams (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21) of, preferably pulsed, light can be emitted by means of the sensor device, wherein, when viewed from the system arranged on the monitoring vehicle, the emitted beams are spaced apart from each other laterally to the monitoring vehicle and along a longitudinal axis (22) of the monitoring vehicle, wherein, when a vehicle passes the monitoring vehicle relative to the monitoring vehicle, the emitted beams can be traversed successively by at least one part of the vehicle.wherein, when passing through the emitted beams, the emitted beams are reflectable at the vehicle, wherein reflected beams from the light can be received by means of the sensor device and received signals can be generated from the reflected beams, wherein the system comprises a
processing device, wherein, by means of the
processing device, a differential speed of the vehicle to the monitoring vehicle can be determined on the basis of the received signals.
