Lightning from nowhere: A7 in Neu-Ulm records new speed controls!
Today is August 24, 2025 and road safety is once again in focus. A mobile speed trap will be set up on the A7 in Bavaria this sunny Sunday, as news.de reports. The location of the speed camera was reported at 11:27 a.m. and remains active until 3:12 p.m. At 961.6 km, the A7 is not only the longest German federal highway, but also the longest continuous national highway in Europe, running from the Danish to the Austrian border.
The current measures are intended to help increase road safety. Driving fast can endanger not only the life of the driver, but also that of other road users. Therefore, all drivers are advised to adapt their speed to the given conditions and, if necessary, to observe the speed limits. The road traffic regulations (StVO) provide for strict regulations here. Speed camera apps and radar detectors are prohibited while driving, according to Section 23 of the StVO. Anyone who carries or operates such devices is committing a criminal offense.
Fines and consequences
Speeding can be expensive in Germany. The fines are staggered and depend on both the extent of the violation and the location of the violation. According to bussgeldkatalog.de, the table of fines for speeding in urban areas provides for the following penalties:
- Bis 10 km/h: 15 € – 0 Punkte – kein Fahrverbot
- 11 – 15 km/h: 25 € – 0 Punkte – kein Fahrverbot
- 16 – 20 km/h: 35 € – 0 Punkte – kein Fahrverbot
- 21 – 25 km/h: 80 € – 1 Punkt – kein Fahrverbot
- 26 – 30 km/h: 100 € – 1 Punkt – 1 Monat Fahrverbot
- 31 – 40 km/h: 160 € – 2 Punkte – 1 Monat Fahrverbot
- 41 – 50 km/h: 200 € – 2 Punkte – 1 Monat Fahrverbot
- 51 – 60 km/h: 280 € – 2 Punkte – 2 Monate Fahrverbot
- 61 – 70 km/h: 480 € – 2 Punkte – 3 Monate Fahrverbot
- Über 70 km/h: 680 € – 2 Punkte – 3 Monate Fahrverbot
The fines are slightly lower outside of town, but they can also be expensive there. As adac.de shows, driving bans can also be imposed if the speed limit exceeds 26 km/h. It becomes particularly dangerous if you exceed the speed limit by over 70 km/h, as you can face a fine of up to €800 and a driving ban of up to three months. Such violations can also result in points in Flensburg, which can quickly add up.
Road safety
The A7 is known for its traffic and the installation of mobile speed cameras is an essential part of road safety efforts. Compliance with speed limits is not only required by law, but is also of great importance for the safety of all road users. If you exceed the speed limit by up to 15 km/h, a warning fine is often imposed, while above 16 km/h there is the possibility of appealing the fine. It remains essential to focus on the maximum speed, which is 50 km/h in urban areas and 100 km/h outside of urban areas for cars.
The recommendation remains: drive carefully, stick to the speed limits and thereby support safety on the roads. Because a good hand when driving not only protects you, but also other road users.
