Lightning alarm in Winterberg: Where speeding violations are imminent today!
Today brings with it a special challenge for drivers in North Rhine-Westphalia. A mobile radar device has been in use in Winterberg since the early hours of the morning to punish speeding violations. The check initially takes place on Bahnhofstrasse, where there is a speed limit of 30 km/h. This action was reported today, September 3, 2025, at 9:18 a.m. and the information was last updated at 11:16 a.m. Drivers should be warned: Anyone who ignores the speed limit will face severe fines. [News.de]. Speed cameras are not excluded.
Speeding is one of the most common traffic offenses in Germany. The causes are often time pressure, carelessness or simply negligence on the part of drivers. In order to reduce this risk, the authorities use various speed monitoring techniques. Mobile speed cameras, like the one in Winterberg, are particularly flexible and can be quickly positioned at different locations. They differ from stationary systems, which are often installed in the form of clearly visible boxes. Bussgeldinfo.org adds that there are now over 4,500 permanently installed measuring systems in Germany, although the exact number of mobile speed cameras remains unclear.
Speed measurement technology
Various radar systems are used in Germany to measure speed. The best-known devices include Traffipax SpeedoPhot, Traffipax Micro-Speed 09 and Multanova 6F. The radar technology used uses the Doppler effect to detect frequency changes that occur with moving objects. This allows the speed of the vehicles to be determined precisely. However, tolerance values apply when measuring: a deduction of 3 km/h may be made at speeds of less than 100 km/h; at higher speeds it is 3% of the measured speed.
The deliberately implemented speed controls not only serve to generate income from fines, but are primarily intended to ensure road safety. As a small “safety net”, the controls are an important part of traffic. In an international comparison, Germany has fewer speed cameras than some other countries, such as Italy, where the surveillance culture is different.
The mobile speed cameras can also work with various technologies, for example with laser measuring devices. These also measure speed, but using a different method. Errors in measurement are possible, especially with mobile systems, which means that drivers who want to appeal a fine can have a good chance.
The message for drivers in Winterberg today is: stick to the speed limits and stay alert! After all, every flash can be an expensive pleasure if you aim to exceed the maximum speed limit.
