Danger of lightning in Brieske: speed controls on Thursday!
A mobile speed camera has been positioned in Senftenberg today, November 6, 2025, to keep a sharp eye on road users on the B169 in Brieske. There is a speed limit of 100 km/h and the speed camera was set up at 4:40 a.m. These controls are not a coincidence, but a measure to increase traffic safety in the region. Speeding is a common cause of traffic accidents, such as news.de reported.
The number of speed cameras and speed cameras in Germany is constantly increasing. These technologies, which are used in various versions such as laser flashers and light barrier measuring devices, are intended to detect speeding violations and improve traffic safety. Tolerance deductions of usually 3% or 3 km/h help to compensate for measurement inaccuracies (bussgeldkatalog.org).
Meaning and purpose of speed cameras
Whatever the reason for this being pointed out again and again: Compliance with speed limits is of the utmost importance for the safety of all road users. The penalties for speeding should not be underestimated. In urban areas, fines start at 30 euros for exceeding speeds of up to 10 km/h and can be up to 800 euros for speeds of more than 70 km/h (adac.de). If you drive over 26 km/h too fast, it gets really expensive: a one-month driving ban will then result. This also applies to out-of-town areas, where the fines can also be hefty.
It's particularly tricky if you get caught speeding more than 31 km/h too much in urban areas - two points in Flensburg and a month's driving ban are not uncommon. No matter where you are traveling, the maximum speed in urban areas is 50 km/h, and outside of urban areas it is usually 100 km/h. The ADAC also points out that there are no speed limits on certain roads, but a recommended speed limit of 130 km/h applies.
The way out of the misery
There are still opportunities for drivers who are confronted with a fine: an objection can be lodged within 14 days, and if the driver is not identified within three months of the violation, it is even considered time-barred. But be careful! Serious traffic violations also become the focus of law enforcement, particularly in cases of reckless driving.
It is also worth taking a look at the different types of speed cameras: there is a wide range from stationary to mobile to traffic light speed cameras. Civilian police vehicles that carry out speed measurements in the so-called Police Pilot system are also in use and can operate inconspicuously. It remains questionable whether speed camera apps, which are controversial and in some cases considered illegal, now represent an alternative.
In the end, one thing is clear: if you travel safely and according to the regulations, you have little to fear. So stay alert on the roads around Senftenberg and beyond – it can be worth it!
