Blitzer in Altena: Current controls on Linscheidstrasse!

On March 8, 2025, mobile speed meters are available in Altena to capture speed starters. The current lightning location can be found on Linscheidstrasse (ZIP 58762, Mühlendorf). At this point there is a speed limit of 50 km/h. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether the exact position is actually actively monitored href = "https://www.news.de/auto/85689553/mobile-blitzer-schwindigkeberwachung-in-Alta-aktuell-in-muehlendorf-wird-heute-am-amtag-08-03-2025-Blitzt/1/"> News.de

speeding is a common cause of traffic accidents in Germany and are therefore regulated by the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). These regulations not only include fines for overrun speeds, but also for other violations such as driving up or driving over red traffic lights. Paragraph 23 of the STVO, which prohibits the operation and carrying of devices to disturb traffic monitoring measures, is particularly relevant.

diverse speedster and punishments

Different measuring methods are used in Germany for speed monitoring, including traffic radar systems, light barrier measuring devices and mobile speed camera. According to bussgeldkatalog.org , various fines are imposed for speed overalls, which vary depending on the severity of the violation.

urban fines Points driving ban
from 21 km/h 115 euros 1 point -
from 31 km/h - 2 points 1 month
from 70 km/h 800 euros 2 points 3 months

For violations outside of closed towns, the nationwide catalog of fines also provides for clear regulations. This also determines that the penalties are generally stricter for urban areas. Tolerance deductions are granted in the measurements to compensate for potential measurements.

technology behind the speed monitoring

The various measurement methods used in Germany include laser measurements and radar measurements. These technologies are designed to precisely record the speed of vehicles. The ADAC describes that laser measurements work through the use of laser rays, while radar measurements use electromagnetic waves to determine speed measurements by the Doppler effect.

An important element of speed monitoring are regular checks and calibration of the speed camera. This guarantees that the devices work precisely and that the measured values ​​are reliable. Federal states have their own guidelines for setting up and using the flash systems.

The use of speed camera apps and radar warners is sometimes allowed as long as they are not activated while driving. In contrast, speed-speed raps on public roads are not permitted.

Overall, speed monitoring in Germany remains a central component to increase traffic safety and to prevent accidents from overrun speeds.
