Attention drivers! Danger of lightning on Nürnberger Straße today!
It's Thursday, June 19, 2025, and things could get pretty tight for speeders in Nasbach today. A mobile speed trap is currently on the agenda on Nürnberger Straße. The speed limit of 50 km/h applies here - a clear appeal to all drivers not to press the accelerator pedal too hard. As news.de reports, the speed camera location has not yet received an official status, and the last update came this morning 8:23 a.m.
Mobile speed cameras, also known as enforcement trailers, use state-of-the-art technologies such as laser and lidar systems. These devices are not only quick and easy to set up, but they also catch the eye with a briefly flashing red light as soon as they are in action. The way they work is extremely clever: they emit electromagnetic waves or light signals, which are then reflected by the vehicle. The time between sending and receiving these signals is used to calculate speed.
Security aspect and legal basis
The topic of speed measurements is not just fun for law enforcement officers, but above all an important contribution to traffic safety. As described on rechtecheck.de, speed controls are based on well-founded legal principles such as the Road Traffic Act (StVG) and the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO).
Violations of speed limits are a common cause of accidents. The importance of speed camera speed measurement is not only recognized in theory. According to bussgeldkatalog.org, the fines and points vary significantly depending on the severity of the violation. In urban areas, if you go 21 km/h over the permitted speed, you can get 115 euros and one point on your Flensburg account - if the exceedance is more serious, the consequences, such as a driving ban of up to three months, cannot be taken lightly.
The different speed measuring devices
The range of devices used is impressive and ranges from stationary speed cameras to mobile devices. There are radar and laser flashers, light barrier measuring devices, and modern video tracking systems. Interestingly, speed cameras have a long tradition in Germany: the first of these devices were put into operation as early as 1959, and they have been an integral part of road safety ever since.
Objections to fine notices are possible within 14 days, giving road users the opportunity to check possible errors. This includes, among other things, the correct calibration and maintenance of the devices, which are essential for the legality of the measurements.
The introduction of new technologies, such as section control to measure average speed over longer distances, is also under discussion. The use of drones for surveillance also brings with it new legal issues regarding data protection and privacy. The debate about this is in full swing.
In summary, setting up speed cameras and carrying out speed checks not only increase revenue through fines, but also make a significant contribution to road safety. So, dear drivers, stick to the speed limits - your wallet will thank you.
