Flashing control: Gelsenkirchen increases security with new flashes!

in Gelsenkirchen were carried out on February 27, 2025, speed controls at three different locations. These measures are part of the urban initiative to improve traffic safety and include the use of mobile speed camera. Such controls are most frequently used at the focal points, especially in the vicinity of schools, daycare centers and old people's homes, to ensure compliance with the speed limits. According to News.de

• Asbeckstraße (ZIP 45883, Gelsenkirchen-Mitte)-speed limit: 50 km/h, report at 6:27 p.m.
• Kärntener Ring (ZIP 45899, Gelsenkirchen-West)-speed limit: 50 km/h, message at 4:48 p.m.
• Valentinstraße (ZIP 45896, Gelsenkirchen-Nord)-speed limit: 50 km/h, report at 4:16 p.m.

The use of mobile flashes is based on the functionality that they use electromagnetic waves or light signals for speed measurement. These controls are particularly relevant in Gelsenkirchen, where the high traffic volume often leads to administrative offenses. The city area comprises a total of 1,500 streets with a total length of 763.93 km. The city is cheaply on the A2, A42 and A52 motorways as well as on the federal highways B224, B226 and B227, all of which are busy. The city administration uses both mobile and stationary speed camera to capture speed overruns and thus ensure more safety in road traffic, reports bussgeldatalog.org .

fines and legal consequences

The consequences of a speed crossing can be drastic. In the inner -city area, the catalog of fines provides for the following penalties:

In the event of a red light violation, even higher punishments, including a fine of 200 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one -month driving ban. If you want to defend yourself against a fine of a fine, you have the opportunity to appeal within two weeks. In this context, it is worth noting that speed camera is usually considered reliable, but measurement opportunities are not excluded. A demonstrable error can result in the withdrawal of sanctions, as Busseldkatalog.org point out.
