On February 4, 2025, speed monitoring in Bad Kreuznach causes excitement among drivers. The city currently has two mobile radar boxes to be responsible for holding drivers who exceed the speed limit. According to the information from News.de Speed ​​control on the Ringstrasse, at the Crucenia Realschule Plus, started since 6:33 a.m. A strict speed limit of 30 km/h applies here.

Another speed camera is on Töpferstraße, also in a 30 km/h zone, where surveillance started at 6:39 a.m. Drivers are urgently warned, as both high fines and temporary driving bans threaten, you should not comply with the speed limits. The current lightning locations are a reaction to increased speed overruns in the urban area, but speed controls are not limited to these places - they can take place anywhere.

legal basis for speed monitoring

The legal regulations for speed controls are defined in the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), which prescribes fines in the event of speeding. According to rectangles, speeds and radar warners in Germany are generally banned. The use of such devices can lead to fines of up to 75 euros and points in Flensburg. Particularly serious punishments can threaten in serious traffic accidents.

Interestingly, the use of navigation devices that warn of danger spots is allowed as long as they do not indicate any specific flasher information. The Higher Regional Court of Celle decided in 2015 that speed camera apps are not permitted, and the Federal Court of Justice confirmed in 2018 that the use of such apps violates the StVO. Drivers should therefore regularly find out about the current legal situation and do without the use of such technologies.

Techniques of speed measurement

The effective methods of speed monitoring that are used in Germany include radar, lasers, light barriers and video shopping systems, as on Rightscheck.de . The choice of technology can depend on the traffic situation and the prevailing conditions. Radar, for example, sends out electromagnetic waves and is often used on highways, while laser light is more precise and also works in adverse weather. However, measurements must be ordered and documented regularly to ensure their legal validity.

In summary, the speed monitoring in Bad Kreuznach is not only a necessary step to improve traffic safety, but also ensures that the legal requirements are met. Road users should be aware of their responsibility and follow the current pace and traffic rules- also to avoid unpleasant punishments and possible accidents.
