Mobile speed cameras in Manching: Today the speed limit is only 10 km/h!
In Niederstimm, a small community in Bavaria, a mobile speed camera on the A9 caused a stir today, September 16, 2025. At 6:53 p.m. the speed camera was positioned to alert road users to the important speed limit of just 10 km/h. This may seem like a joke to many, but the reality is that speeding remains one of the most common causes of road accidents. Current information shows that speed cameras are active until 7:22 p.m. and police are aiming to increase road safety. [News.de reports].
The importance of road safety cannot be overestimated. After all, there were over 2.5 million traffic accidents in Germany last year, in which more than 2,800 people lost their lives. These alarming figures highlight the urgency of doing more to ensure safety on our roads. According to the Vision Zero initiative of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, the number of traffic deaths should be reduced by 40 percent by 2030. An ambitious goal that calls for comprehensive measures.
Technology and traffic monitoring
The use of speed cameras is a central aspect of traffic monitoring. The technology behind these devices is based on the Doppler effect, which makes it possible to precisely measure the speed of vehicles. Radar waves are emitted and reflected back by the vehicles. In the event of a speeding violation, not only is a photo of the vehicle taken, but a video recording can also be made to ensure road safety. There are now around 4,400 permanently installed radar measuring devices in operation in Germany, which are used both stationary and mobile. The correct use of this technology helps the police to consistently punish violations. Bussgeldkatalog.org explains also that modern systems are increasingly relying on front radar devices to make driver liability clear.
Another exciting project to improve road safety is “COLLISION ZERO”. This initiative uses virtual reality to raise awareness, especially among children and young people, about the dangers of road traffic. The “KISStra” project also addresses traffic safety on motorways and trunk roads and develops innovative methods for accident prevention. These programs are supported by mFUND, which provides millions in financial support to improve the traffic situation not only today but also in the future. BMV.de reports.
The current speed camera operation in Niederstimm is a further step towards a safer traffic infrastructure. It is important that all road users consider their behavior and adhere to the posted speed limits. Ultimately, it's about preventing accidents and protecting the lives and health of all road users.
