A5: Lightning alarm near Neuchâtel! Where there is a threat of speed cameras today
Today, October 31, 2025, drivers along the A5 motorway can expect some mobile speed cameras. As news.de reports, there are two lightning locations in Baden-Württemberg the list.
The first speed camera is in Schutterwald in Ortenaukreis. A speed limit of 120 km/h was reported here at 8:08 a.m., but this location has not yet been officially confirmed. The second location, which was already registered at 7:38 a.m., is in Neuenburg am Rhein / Schliengen in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district, also with a limit of 120 km/h.
Traffic monitoring and fines
Mobile traffic monitoring is part of efforts to reduce speeding, which is known to be a common cause of traffic accidents, as bussgeldkatalog.org notes. Speeders and pushers have to expect severe fines and even driving bans, which can vary depending on the severity of the speeding violation. In urban areas, the penalties can be made even stricter than on country roads or motorways.
- Innerorts: Ab 21 km/h zu schnell = 1 Punkt, 115 Euro Bußgeld
- Außerorts: Ab 21 km/h zu schnell = 1 Punkt, 100 Euro Bußgeld
One point that the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) makes clear is the ban on carrying devices to display or disrupt traffic monitoring measures. Radar detectors or laser jamming devices are affected, while speed camera apps on cell phones are legal as long as they are not used while driving.
Technologies and types of speed cameras
Various types of speed cameras are used in Germany, including traffic radar systems, light barrier measuring devices and mobile speed cameras. These flexible devices can be easily transported in vehicles and used in various locations. Traffic monitoring is therefore supported by modern technologies, with speed cameras often documenting speeding with photos to prove speeding.
It is important to be aware of the tolerance deductions that are granted for inaccurate measurements. These are usually 3 percent or 3 km/h. Drivers usually have 150 to 200 meters to adjust their speed in front of a speed camera. In addition, flash units that detect the driver from behind and cannot identify them may be considered invalid.
The current situation on the A5 shows that the authorities are ready to improve road safety and remind road users to adhere to speed limits. So, be careful, drivers: drive carefully, because the next speed camera could be there sooner than you think!
