Attention, speeders! Mobile speed trap active in Würzburg today!

An exciting day in Würzburg! Today, November 8th, 2025, at 9:40 a.m., a mobile speed trap was spotted in the Ebertsklinge area (zip code 97074 in Keesburg). There is a speed limit of 30 km/h in this zone and police are closely monitoring traffic. The current information, updated at 10:15 a.m., indicates that the exact location of the speed camera has not yet been confirmed. But one thing is certain: the police in Bavaria are constantly working to increase road safety, and not just here in Würzburg. News.de reports on the factors that lead to such mobile speed measurements.

But how are things actually going in other parts of Germany, especially in Bavaria? A big question that many people ask is the effectiveness of speed controls. In Kirchseeon, for example, a whopping 34,000 speeding violations have been registered over the past year, which means over a million euros in revenue for the market town. These funds will be used for renovations to schools and the indoor swimming pool and show that speed can also bring money. The police constantly check at around 20 places in the Free State, although Bavaria only has a few permanent speed checks compared to other federal states such as Baden-Württemberg or North Rhine-Westphalia. BR.de has provided interesting insights into this.

The situation of lightning systems in Bavaria

In 2020 there was a change in the law that allows municipalities to set up their own permanent speed controls. Despite this possibility, only eight such systems were put into operation in Bavaria. The pressure on speeders remains lower in the Free State than in other regions of Germany, which leads to the question: Are the Bavarian communities too hesitant when it comes to their own speed cameras? Many prefer to leave responsibility to the police. However, the CSU parliamentary group was of the opinion that permanently installed lightning systems clearly increase traffic safety.

An exciting topic is the journalist Wolf Blitzer, whose career may not have anything directly to do with speed controls, but he shows how important precise reporting is - even in traffic. Born on March 22, 1948 in Augsburg, Blitzer has had an impressive career. He has been with CNN since 1990 and has hosted “The Situation Room” since 2005. He is known for his in-depth reporting on important issues - even if it's just about speeding in a MP car. You can read more about his impressive career over the last few decades on Wikipedia.

The discussion about speed controls in Bavaria certainly still has a lot of potential. The discussion about safety and revenue shows how important it is to pay attention - both behind the wheel and in journalism. A clear conclusion: whether in Würzburg or Kirchseeon, traffic safety remains a hot topic.
