Attention drivers: There is lightning in two places in Hesepe today!
On July 11, 2025, everything in Hesepe will revolve around road safety. In the small town of Nordhorn there are currently two active mobile speed cameras that monitor compliance with speed limits. Specifically, on the Alten Postweg and on the roads B 213 and B 403, attention is paid to adhering to the speed limit of 100 km/h. This circumstance was currently reported at 4:34 p.m. and at 3:48 p.m., as reported by news.de.
Speed cameras not only have the task of stepping on drivers' feet, but are also essential tools for ensuring road safety. The speed limit of 100 km/h on the relevant routes is not just a recommendation, but a legal requirement that must be respected. The police use speed cameras to effectively punish speeding and thus minimize traffic accidents. Various measuring techniques are available for monitoring speeding, including laser and radar measurements as well as induction loops, which many in Hesepe have probably already spotted. Bussgeldkatalog.de explains that the costs for setting up such speed cameras can be between 20,000 and 250,000 euros.
Speed limits and their meaning
Compliance with speed limits has several important effects: They not only ensure better road safety, but also help to avoid the consequences of speeding violations that are set out in the catalog of fines. If you exceed 21 km/h, not only are fines imposed, but points are also collected in Flensburg. If you exceed 26 km/h you can even be banned from driving - and that's no fun after all.
In Germany, the regulations for speed measurements are strict, which also affects the legal framework for setting up flash devices. The minimum distances to traffic signs must be maintained, which are usually between 150 and 200 meters. Strict compliance with these regulations and technical tests are essential for the measurement procedures to be considered permissible. The existing guidelines also allow the police to carry out speed checks in special situations such as rain or slippery conditions, without the need for a visible flash, as the ADAC explains, to which ADAC.de refers.
Alerts and app rules
However, the following applies to all drivers: speed camera warnings on the radio are permitted, whereas speed camera apps and radar detectors are strictly prohibited while driving in Germany. This means that drivers do not have to turn off their smartphones completely while driving, but all warning functions in navigation apps must be deactivated. A little note for all those who would like to try it out. Remember that the police can also react flexibly with mobile speed cameras and monitor speed in different locations at lightning speed!
In Hesepe and the surrounding area it is important to observe the speed limit and be an attentive driver. After all, no one wants to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time!
