Speed camera action in Cuxhaven: Where speed is checked today!
Today, June 26, 2025, mobile speed cameras will be available again on the streets of Cuxhaven to ensure greater traffic safety. The speed camera is currently positioned at the Am Möhlendiek location in Oxstedt. A speed limit of 50 km/h applies here. However, the exact locations of the mobile speed trap can change at any time, as News.de reports. The traffic situation in Cuxhaven is also constantly changing, which requires flexible adjustment of the speed cameras.
The speed cameras are not just a means of surveillance, but also actively contribute to traffic safety. Speeding is punished in accordance with the Road Traffic Act (StVO) and the catalog of fines. It is important to know that operating or carrying devices to disrupt traffic controls is prohibited. However, functions such as speed camera apps on cell phones are not punishable as long as they are not activated while driving. External radar detectors that are operational, however, constitute a criminal offense.
Fixed and mobile speed cameras in the Cuxhaven district
In Cuxhaven they don't just rely on mobile lightning systems. There are already two fixed speed cameras at the locations B 73 in Hechthausen-Bornberg and L 119 at the A 27 motorway crossing near Neuenwalde. These stations were set up to prevent accidents and minimize the consequences of speeding, as CNV Medien notes. Further speed cameras are planned in the future, including on the B 71 near Heerstedt in 2024 and on the L 135 in Hagen-Börsten in 2026.
The FDP district council member Lukas Lübken proposes to increase the acceptance of speed cameras through warning signs in advance. This could be a good step to promote road safety awareness. District head Michael Take emphasizes that strict action is being taken against speeding, especially in accident hotspots.
The big goal of speed controls
The speed controls have a clear goal: to motivate road users to drive more safely by having a deterrent effect. Speeding is often the cause of unpleasant accidents. Both stationary and mobile lightning systems are used. The mobile variants are particularly flexible and make it possible to specifically monitor various risk points, as Bußgeldkatalog.net explains.
Without a doubt, the debate about the placement of mobile lightning systems is not new. SPD district council member Hendrik Rehm is critical of the current locations, especially on straight stretches at 70 km/h. The mobile flashing system is not only aging, but also generated an impressive 900,000 euros in warnings and fines in 2023. An integrated overall concept for speed measurement could help to further increase safety on the roads in the district.
