Lightning on the A61: Mobile radar controls in use!
On February 4, 2025, a mobile radar box is in use in Bingen am Rhein on the A 61 in Dietersheim. According to News.de, the speed is 130 km/h. The last message of the lightning comes from February 3, 2025 at 7:33 p.m., and the information on the current situation was updated on the same day at 6:58 a.m. It is important to note that the danger situation in road traffic can change constantly, which is why adjustments to the mobile radar controls are possible at any time.
In order to punish traffic offenders sensitively, a tolerance is deducted from the speed measurements: at speeds under 100 km/h, the deduction is 3 km/h, while at speeds over 100 km/h there is 3 percent deduction. Tempo bumps can also result in fines according to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO).
The A 61: an overview
The Autobahn 61 extends over a length of 313.2 km and runs through the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Baden-Württemberg. Both festivals and mobile speed camera are used on this important traffic artery to measure the speed between Kaldenkirchen and the Hockenheim motorway triangle, as bussgeldtatalog.org

Fixed speed camera are located in 41189 Mönchengladbach and at the transition to the L182 in 53913 Swistal, where 70 km/h must not be exceeded.

The discussion about speed limits in Germany
In Germany, the discussion about speed ledges on motorways is a controversial topic. Report to the ADAC 55 percent of members are for a general speed limit, while 40 percent are against it. While motorways are considered the safest roads in Germany, studies show that a speed limit of 120 km/h may lead to a reduction of 4.7 million tons of CO₂ per year.
traffic safety, climate protection and the debate about traffic jams and travel times play a central role in this discussion. In 2022, the death rate on German motorways was an average of 1.3 deaths per 1 billion vehicle kilometers. However, there is no clear evidence that countries with speed limit are safer than Germany. The Bundestag recently decided a reform of the Climate Protection Act, which aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
