Speed camera alarm in Eckernförde: Where you need to be careful today!
Today, December 24, 2025, special attention will be paid to speed monitoring in Eckernförde. Currently only a mobile speed trap is used, and the speed camera is located on Jungmannufer in Borby. Here it is important to maintain a maximum speed of 50 km/h. But be careful: The location has not yet been officially confirmed, as news.de reported. In addition, further speed controls are to be expected throughout the city.
The consequences of speeding can be unpleasant. Fines are possible and non-compliance can quickly become expensive. According to Section 23 of the StVO, it is also forbidden to use or carry technical devices that serve to display or disrupt control measures. However, it is permitted to use smartphone apps for radar warning as long as they are not actively used while driving. This shows that there are some legal nuances when using such technologies.
Ban on radar detectors and speed camera apps
By the way, the use of radar detectors and speed camera apps is prohibited in Germany. This can lead to fines, as adac.de explains in its information. Passengers are also not allowed to use speed camera apps, even if the driver does not. Violations of this ban can be punished with a fine of up to 75 euros and a point on the driving fitness register. The police have the right to seize and destroy operational radar detectors.
What you should also remember: radio messages warning of speed cameras are permitted, as are hand signals or signs, as long as they do not distract from traffic. By the way, flashing headlights to warn of speed cameras is not permitted.
Legal basis and monitoring
Traffic monitoring using speed cameras is based on various formal guidelines and decrees set by the federal states. These regulations are not always clear and vary considerably. According to a ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court, speed camera photos are legally permissible, and traffic monitoring is a sovereign task that may only be carried out by members of the public service. As stated on bussgeldkatalog.de, private companies are allowed to take over speed monitoring in some municipalities, but only if there is a legal basis.
Minimum distances to traffic signs and the exact framework conditions for monitoring vary greatly between federal states. Drivers should be aware that they have the right to appeal against fines if the minimum distances are not maintained or if there are other formal errors.
With this information in mind, the people of Cologne are well equipped to travel safely. So it remains to be seen whether the controls will cause additional excitement in addition to the festive atmosphere at Christmas.
