A13: Mobile speed cameras active today – do you have to expect a penalty?

Today, June 27, 2025, drivers on the A13 motorway in Brandenburg are under increased surveillance. There are currently two mobile radar boxes in use along the A13, which were set up by the Federal Police for speed monitoring. This further increases safety on the roads, as speeding is not only a common traffic violation, but also one of the main causes of accidents.

The current speed camera locations this Friday were reported in two regions: The speed camera was spotted near Schipkau/Schwarzheide, specifically at the Schwarzheide-Ost Victoria location, at 6:08 a.m. Another radar box is in the Halbe/Freidorf region and was registered at 4:48 a.m. On the A13, the speed limit is set at 100 km/h, and the police point out that temporary speed measurements are also planned along the entire route, which leads from the Berliner Ring (A10) via the Spreewald triangle towards Dresden and has a total length of 151 km.

Mobile monitoring and tolerances

As news.de notes, mobile speed cameras are often used at accident hotspots to ensure compliance with speed regulations ensure. Despite a comparatively small number of fixed speed cameras, there are numerous checks thanks to the temporary measures. The tolerances are important for drivers: at speeds of up to 100 km/h, a deduction of 3 km/h from the measured value is tolerated, while at higher speeds a deduction of 3 percent applies, which could ease the situation somewhat for occasional speeders, but is still not an invitation to speeding.

The penalties for speeding are clearly regulated and follow a uniform catalog of fines. A fine notice is issued for as little as 60 euros, and there is a minimum fee of 28.50 euros for the fine procedure. This has been confirmed by bussgeldkatalog.org, which breaks down the potential costs of speeding in detail.

Penalties and options for appeal

The points in Flensburg are another topic that traffic drivers in particular should know. There are points for exceeding 21 km/h - and with such strict monitoring you should pay close attention to the speed. For example, if the speed exceeds more than 30 km/h in urban areas or 40 km/h outside of urban areas, the reaction is immediate with two points and a possible driving ban. The penalties are even higher for trucks over 3.5 tons.

For first-time offenders, however, it is not entirely without options: you have the opportunity to choose when a driving ban begins within four months. What is less encouraging is the fact that an objection to the fine notices is possible, but this must be well justified, especially if there are formal or measurement errors.

The currently controversial question of whether speeding can be justified in certain exceptions, for example in medical emergencies, remains relevant. In general, however, a clear message can be heard: caution should always be exercised when speeding.

Anyone who follows the rules will not only be spared from fines, but will also contribute to road safety. With this in mind: drive well and safely!
