Speed camera week in the Main-Kinzig district: Where the speed offenders lurk!
In the 37th calendar week of 2025, the Main-Kinzig district will monitor speed limits at selected measuring points to improve traffic safety.
Speed camera week in the Main-Kinzig district: Where the speed offenders lurk!
In the Main-Kinzig district this week it's all about speed monitoring. From September 8th to 14th, 2025, various streets will be the focus of traffic monitoring, as kinzig.news reports. The objective of these measures is clear: to monitor compliance with speed limits on dangerous routes and at accident hotspots. Speed limits are not just a regulation, they primarily serve traffic safety.
The planned measurements are diverse and extend over the entire week. On Monday, measurements will be taken on the BAB 66, in the direction of Fulda, at the Bad Soden-Salmünster junction, followed by the B 43 a on Tuesday, where speed hazard routes will be targeted before the Hanau Hafen junction. The L 3202 in Gelnhausen occupies Wednesday before measurements are taken at an accident hotspot on the L 3196 in Majoß on Thursday. At the end of the week it will be the turn of the K 174 in Dietzenbach and the B 43 a at the weekend.
Speed measurement rules
But where exactly can the speed cameras be set up and what rules must be observed? These questions are of particular interest to affected drivers because the federal states are responsible for speed monitoring and have different guidelines. Auto Motor und Sport explains among other things, that distances of 150 to 200 meters must generally be maintained between speed signs and measuring systems, although there are exceptions in dangerous areas. For example, schools or road crossings are particularly noteworthy here.
Another regulation that is handled differently by the federal states concerns the camouflage of the measuring devices. In Bavaria, for example, natural camouflage is permitted, but not artificial, and night operations and measurements in adverse weather conditions are also permitted. This shows that the requirements for speed recording are diverse and always comply with the applicable regulations and technical specifications.
The technology behind the measurement
The measuring methods used are as exciting as they are varied. Various technologies such as laser, radar and induction loop measurements are used in Germany. The ADAC provides an interesting insight into this: During laser measurements, laser beams are emitted that are reflected by the vehicle. Radar measurements use the Doppler effect by emitting electromagnetic waves. Induction loops laid under the road detect changes in the magnetic field and thus enable speed to be measured. Regardless of the procedure, all measuring methods must be technically tested and approved.
And what about the liability of fines? Those affected can rely on the uniform catalog of fines, which regulates the penalties depending on the amount of speeding. It is also possible to appeal against fines if there is suspicion that a measuring device was set up or operated in an unauthorized manner.
So for the coming days it's time to pay attention and observe the speed limits. Anyone who gets behind the wheel can not only do good business, but also promote peace and safety on the roads!
