Lightning trap on A13: speed controls active near Lübbenau!
Today, August 13, 2025, there will be lightning flashes in several places on the A13 motorway. Speeding offenders in particular have to be careful, as they not only face high fines but also driving bans. According to current reports, the speed camera location near Lübbenau Spreewald, more precisely at Kittlitz in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, was registered at 8:34 a.m. On this hot day, road users have to expect a speed limit of just 10 km/h, which makes the risk of speeding particularly high. [News.de]. Speed controls are to be expected along the entire A13.
The A13 stretches over 151 kilometers from the Berliner Ring at the Schönefelder Kreuz to Dresden. It is considered an important traffic artery, which is why checks are also being carried out more intensively at accident hotspots. This means that mobile speed cameras are often used. Interestingly, there are only two stationary speed cameras on the A13, but they are in operation every day. This is no small matter, as road users should be aware that this does not mean that there are fewer controls across the board. Bussgeldkatalog.org has listed some of the common locations for mobile speed traps where inspections occur again and again.
Current legal situation and sanctions
The regulations on the road traffic regulations (StVO) are clear. If drivers exceed the speed limit, they can expect sanctions in accordance with the catalog of fines. This also includes measures when tailgating and running red lights. Particularly important to know: using speed camera detectors as an app while driving is a criminal offense. External radar detectors that are placed in the vehicle ready for operation are also a taboo. Anyone driving on this highway should have a good handle on speed.
The annual inspection results of the traffic control service (VKD) show how seriously the situation is taken. A distinction is made between sensory and manual traffic controls, which will also be reflected in the data processing in the future. Those responsible expect a fundamental revision of the results from 2024 in order to offer even more precise insights. [Balm.de].
Overall, drivers on the A13 should be particularly vigilant this Wednesday. Speed is not only an issue in traffic regulations, but also has direct consequences for your own safety and that of other road users. If you follow the rules, you can reach your destination safely and without additional costs.
