Blieskastel: Attention the driver! Mobile speed camera in use!

Currently, drivers in blisskastel have to pay attention to mobile flash units because they are used more intensively for speed monitoring. On January 23, 2025, a speed camera was reported in the Niederwürzbach district, more precisely in the Kirschendell (ZIP 66440). At the time of the report at 8:09 a.m., the activity of the speed camera was not yet confirmed (as of 08:50). The defined speed limit at this location is 30 km/h.

speeding is among the most common traffic violations and are the main cause of traffic accidents. Therefore, the control density in such areas is particularly high. The basis for the measures in the case of speed overrun forms the road traffic regulations (StVO) and the catalog of fines, which defines fines for violations.

tolerance deductions and fines

An important aspect of mobile speed measurements are the tolerance deductions. According to ADAC, speed measurements in Germany apply:

• is the speed below 100 km/h, a deduction of 3 km/h.
• If the speed is over 100 km/h, 3 percent of the measured value is deducted.

During the use of the Provida system in Germany, a tolerance deduction of 5 km/h at speeds up to 100 km/h and 5 percent at higher speeds enables the tolerance deductions to vary in other systems. If the measurement is determined over a distance of 400-500 meters, the tolerance deduction can even be up to 20 percent.

The fines for speeding speeds vary depending on the severity of the violation. The fines are staggered as follows within closed towns:

In addition, the following fines can occur in the case of speed overruns outside of closed towns:

Security in traffic

The frequent speed controls aim to improve traffic safety and prevent accidents. The police use mobile and inpatient speed cameras to capture speed violations. These measurements are carried out at danger points such as heavily used intersections. In addition to the speed camera systems, technologies such as cystbalks and laser meters are also used.

In addition, it is important to note that the accuracy of the auto-axis is not calibrated. According to the EU directive, a maximum deviation of 10 percent plus 4 km/h is permitted. Therefore, the speedometer shows a speed of 120 km/h, while the actual speed is only 104 km/h.

Mobile phone navigation systems, on the other hand, use GPS signals and therefore offer more precise speed information, which facilitates compliance with the speed limits. Despite the various measurement methods and their deviations, the monitoring of the speed remains a critical part of traffic safety in Germany, as well as News.de, ADAC and Bussgeldtatalog Report.
