Blitzer-Blitz: Where today is measured in Trier, Luxembourg and Saarland!
On January 17, 2025, a number of speed controls will be carried out in the Trier region, as well as in parts of Luxembourg and Saarland. According to Lokalo.de , the B41 at Oberbrombach and the B51 in Trier are included. The controls take place both in the morning in Winseler (Bohey) and at noon in Ehllerange and Sandweiler.
The speed measurements are also announced in Saarland, for example on the B41 between Neunkirchen and Ottweiler as well as in Weiskirchen and St. Ingbert. These measures are part of a broader approach to improve traffic safety.fines and points
The fines for speed overrun are clearly regulated and vary depending on the severity of the violation. The penalties are as follows for urban speed.
| Points | ||
|---|---|---|
| to 10 | 58.50 | 0 |
| 11 - 15 | 78.50 | 0 |
| 16 - 20 | 98.50 | 0 |
| 21 - 25 | 143.50 | 1 |
| 26 - 30 | 208.50 | 1 (1 month driving ban) |
| 31 - 40 | 288.50 | 2 (1 month driving ban) |
| 41 - 50 | 428.50 | 2 (1 month driving ban) |
| 51 - 60 | 591.50 | 2 (2 months driving ban) |
| 61 - 70 | 738.50 | 2 (3 months driving ban) |
| over 70 | 843.50 | 2 (3 months driving ban) |
For the outdated speed overruns, similar but lower fines apply. For example, a fine of € 48.50 is due for an exceeding of up to 10 km/h.
Technical aspects of speed measurements
The speed measurements are carried out by various methods that are used in Germany, including laser measurements, cycling measurements and induction loops. Each of these approaches has specific technical requirements to ensure correct measurement. As explained adac.de , it is crucial that all devices are technically checked and approved in order to minimize incorrect measurements. Despite these precautions, according to a study, around 56 percent of the measurements are to be classified as incorrect.
The aim of these controls is to increase traffic safety without restricting the mobility of the citizens beyond the necessary level, a goal that is also anchored in the updated fines of derbusskatalog.org . Changes in road traffic and increased surveillance are also expected in 2025.
