Risk of flash on the A8: How to escape the radar trap!

On December 26, 2024, a speed camera will be set up on the A8 motorway, especially in the Augsburg area. Drivers have to be particularly attentive, as there may be fines and driving bans at speed overruns. There is currently a strict speed limit of only 10 km/h at the flash area, which was reported at 10:43 a.m.

The danger situation on the A8 can change constantly, which is why adjustments to the mobile radar controls are possible at any time. In Germany, the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) regulate the punishment of speed overruns. The tolerances that apply to mobile flash units must be observed: At speeds below 100 km/h, a deduction of 3 km/h is used, while a tolerance deduction of 3 percent takes place at higher speeds.

Details on the A8

motorway

The A8 extends from the German-Luxemburg border to the German-Austrian border near Salzburg and has a total length of 505 km. The mileage begins at the Saarland-Rheinland-Palatinate state border with km 0. This highway, one of the oldest in Germany, is continuously renewed. There are often flash controls, especially near construction sites.

like bussgeldatalog.org reports, information on speed cameras and fines are available for speed overruns, but without guarantee. Traffic signs on site must be observed and further traffic information can be obtained via traffic radio systems. The A8 represents an important transport connection in Central Europe and runs through Karlsruhe, Stuttgart and Munich to the Austrian border, among other things.

It is also recommended to check the speed camera model used because measurements can have inaccuracies. In the past, courts have often declared measurements of the Laser flash Traffistar S350 to be invalid. Detailed information about measuring devices and possible measurement errors are also available.
